my guess is that because of twitter screenshots or glenn greenwald, even tho he is a homosexual, he stands for unlimited freedom of speech and even defended a brazilian podcaster that said we need to legalize a nazi party
Glenn Greenwald says a lot of cringy libertarian shit but this isn’t one of those instances. It doesn’t make the truth any less true just because who is saying it has dumb, awful opinions on other things.
It’d be weird as an investigative journalist supportive of whistleblowers like him not to be in favor of free speech. He recently talked about Russel Brand, apparently not a leftist anymore as well according to some people.
People here may disagree, but in an ideal world, fascists or capitalists should be allowed to debate because in these ideal conditions their falseness would be efficiently deconstructed, the public failure of their arguments would serve as a useful reminder for the rest of us.
In my opinion, the u.s.s.r. would have made a mistake by banning anti-communist parties in this ideal world ; however, in the real world, such foreign agents would have perhaps been too powerful/financed/‘able to corrupt’, the u.s.s.r. already had enough vital threats to survive through in its first decades. If they enabled the conditions for an ~annual debate repeating the demonstration of the errors of capitalism, including with western authors, that would have been beneficial for them(, i’m aware that reality is more difficult, it’s just a thought).
I will downvote Glenn Greenwald without exception because I consider him to be a fascist. The times when he makes good points are straight out of the fascist playbook of stealing leftist points to redirect people into a fake version of class struggle. In his case, it’s a rather obvious struggle to portray the democrats as “actually worse” in order to get Trump elected without ever explicitly supporting Trump - a perfect mirror image of CPUSA’s “vote against fascism” campaigns.
I don’t know or care whether Glenn consciously supports Trump in his own mind. Nor do I think it invalidates the good work he did a decade ago. People like him, Nick Brana, Jimmy Dore, and Russell Brand will always claim to support a third party, but what they’re building isn’t a communist party connected to class struggles; its a rebranded Intellectual Dark Web. If you want to see this laid bare, watch Jimmy Dore criticize Cornell West the second he mentions Donald Trump, but as a “progressive”: https://youtu.be/vv9WUBuahsY
People will interpret this as me saying you have to vote democrat for harm reduction and reflexively downvote, so let me just say I’m a member of a communist party that runs a 3rd party presidential campaign.
To those who downvoted, care to explain why?
Just libs mad at having the failings and hypocrisy of their team called out
