Idk what is most surprising here:

  • he hasn’t gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
  • this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
  • pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it’s okay he’s still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I’m so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

    I think you’re having a difficult time parsing what Marxists mean when they use “progressive” as in world-historically progressive, as in, develops us from Feudalism into Capitalism. You’re deliberately misunderstanding Marx’s point here to get a “gotcha” on me because you want to suck off the troops.

    I wouldn’t put ancient-brained napoleon into any leadership position in a modern leftist movement, so you’re just shadowboxing here.

      No, I understand what you meant perfectly well by your last comment in that thread, where you express you are upset that someone correctly called Napoleon a fascist icon. Stop trying to hide behind Marx.

        Napoleon existed before fascism did. Therefore he can’t be a fascist.

        Nowadays the people that hold most reverence for Napoleon are not fascist, but Liberals. Napoleon was the great contradictory Illiberal Liberalizer. He’s a Liberal Icon, not a fascist one. So no, it’s not correct.
