I wish centrists would realise this is about more than Corbyn.
They can whine all they like, continue to convince themselves the Left are a lunatic fringe. It won't change the social forces at play.

I have a bit of a contention with that. I think ecofascism is much more likely to come out of China or India.
Both of those countries are about to get hit very hard by climate change. And they're much more powerful, both economically and militarily, than they get credit for.

Authoritarianism, sure.
But I see the West's culture as being a far greater, longer, and more natural hotbed of fascism than a country with communist roots.
For me, fascism is capitalism in collapse. It's an extreme of something quintessentially western.

Well, I understand where this argument comes from, but I disagree with almost every single component of it in the present.
And the India problem we can thank the UK for, considering it was Gandhi's solution, so it's not like you can't export fascistic tendencies.
