Being far-left is now officially terrorism. Now they will start move the bar one step at a time, one organization at a time, to cut off every political movement that does not align.

It actually was declared a year ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSPM-7 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSPM-7 And a bit rich that it mentions its reasoning included the Kirk assassination. Kirk was starting to make noise about the Epstein stuff, so Trump personally called him and told him to knock it off. Shortly after he was assassinated.

  If you're referring to Cuba, then the US is definitely the terrorist in that relationship.

  To be precise, you were governed by a group of people who together constituted a political party that held far-left views and was branded as such.

  IMO this comment perfectly exemplifies the process that advances society's slide towards fascism: > Just like being far-right was. This is simply not true. Just like so many lies repeated ad nauseam by the right-wing media machine, it has convinced a huge part of the US population that the opposition genuinely wants to hurt and destroy them, so now they have no problem with doing the same to them. A terrifyingly huge portion of them is actively and gleefully applauding every time their sides manages to "own the libs", right down to citizens being shot while exercising their rights. If you look back at Nazi propaganda against Jewish people, it's the same pattern. They convinced their followers of so many terrible things this minority group is doing just to hurt and spite "the common man", until said followers were ready to do all those things to them. When a vice president tells people that minority groups are eating pets and him literally admitting that it's a lie doesn't dissuade his voters from believing it to be true, you have all the ingredients necessary to enable the next Holocaust.

    Nitpicking here, but nazi repression was not only against jewish people. Also against other claimed inferior races (eg. tsigans), but also handicapped people, homosexuals... and very relevant to this thread, communists and anarchists.

      Yeah, good point. I only mentioned Jewish people because that's where I've seen the strong similarities between the propaganda then and now, but I'm sure there's also plenty of examples for the other groups that were targeted.

No, they decided only on support for the Kurdish PKK, which is only under right-wing states a terrorist org. Everyone knows they are not one for decades.

That's exactly what's happening with the far-right and nazism labeling (in the EU the nazi label is worse compared to terrorist, also legally).

  Equating the two seems pretty "radically centrist". Also I'm not so sure that's accurate given that the far right continues to gain legal political power in the EU (and the US for that matter).
