+1 for reading Blackshirts and Reds, it should be required reading on the subject of fascism.

The Bell Curve is almost 30 years old, but is still one of the most popular general-public books on the subject. It was controversial back in the day because one chapter talks about race, but most everything in there is pretty mainstream/accepted by the field.

Eco's list is much more polyvalent: http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/umberto-eco-makes-a-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html.

I still hold that the best way to understand fascism is the Marxist analysis, for which fascism is capitalism in crisis -- as the contradictions of capitalism reach their highest point and capitalism in a country is threatened, there are only two ways to resolve the situation: moving towards communism or fascism. It's easier to move towards fascism because of its appeal to tradition (reassuring), defence of capital (politicians and capitalists are more easily convinced), appeal to the racial majority (it's going to be great for you, you're part of the majority).

Of course once people live under fascism they find out they're not part of the right stock (the nepotist and ultra-wealthy circles) and their lives get even worse than during the crisis. This is why a communist vanguard starts organizing before we reach that point to promote communism and antifascism.

If you look at the countries in which capitalism is at the risk of dying, you'll find the signs of fascism growing fast. But I really mean dying, not just a recession like we get all the time.

This is why the USA is not yet fascist, at least in my opinion (and I won't deny their colonialist period could be fascist today, but at the time this concept didn't exist), because capitalism is not yet in an existential crisis. Of course as people are moving left (to the revolutionary side), reactionaries grow too (which is a contradiction of class society for example), but we can't talk about fascism just yet. Likewise, the imperialist actions of the USA are genocidal, but that doesn't mean the USA's rule is fascist... mainly because their imperialism doesn't apply to their own country.

The only thing Epic has going for it is the 12% vs 30% revenue cut.

There is an alternative which offers Variable Revenue shares called itch.io (focused on indie games), where itch.io takes as little as... <em>literally</em> 0% and has been offering this since 2015.

It doesn't have a luncher, just the executables. It's got some great indie titles like Baba is you, Pyre, VA-11 Hall-A, and Minit. Even free ones like Escaped Chasm, Mindustry.

These are hidden amongst the overwhelming majority of garbage. BUT WAIT there is a search bar and filters, things Epic ~~does~~did not have until recently.

Also he can't draw for shit. If you zoom in a little, most of his comics are sloppily pasted together -- but hey, whatever it takes to get your cultists to give you some money.

Here's the [original comic][http://imgbox.com/eX0RwbsQ], in which I only changed the credits. The hosting is lossless so that you can grab the pic yourself and zoom into it with the program of your choice if you want to find stuff out yourself.

What are the mistakes here?

1. 2nd panel, top right, some lighter pink is still showing
2. in the first two panels, there's a spot of black missing near blue guy's chin, which doesn't make it look like a stylistic choice (if drawing plain white stick figures can be called a style), but an unnoticed application of the eraser tool.
3. in 2nd and 3rd panel, blue guy's right arm, near the shoulder, the black outline is way too thick. Covering up for a mistake are we?
4. This one is a little bit more difficult to find, but in the 3rd panel, right where blue guy's arm crosses his left side, there's a tiny spot of colour missing. Congratulations ST, you can't even draw within the lines.

Can you believe he uses a 900$ tablet to draw this? I guess it's true, you can buy the most expensive tools but it only gets you so far. Earlier comics were full of shit like this, grab the templates and scour them yourself if you want to.

then better read a book about it before you run your mouth;
to your luck, very many resources are freely available online, such as here, the famous bread book, works by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, or even just r/breadtube

also, Hong Kong isn't even close to half the country

I found GIMP to be overkill -- we're not painting the Sistine Chapel here.

If you can access Windows, I hear good things about MS Paint. If you use a Mac, try paintbrush.app, which is free at sourceforge.

Here's my newest edit!

By the way, if you're making edits, I would suggest running something like pngquant to reduce the file size (you can also use pngcrush to do it losslessly, albeit with a higher filesize) by reducing the color palette used by the PNG. These comics have a simple style with few colors, so you can easy set it to 256 or 128 colors and have it look pretty much exactly the same (I got greedy here and used 64 colors, so you can probably see a bit of dithering, but at 128 it'll look fine)

I would very much recommend doing something like this, since pngquant can easily cut the file size in half for these comics

Instead of flooding to another reddit-like (with all the social problems reddits very structure encourages), consider signing up to the fediverse at large? Mastodon is a federated microbloggin platform with a very left-leaning userbase. https://joinmastodon.org

(Bonus: Lemmy is also part of the fediverse or certainly aims to be, so you should be able to see posts from it on mastodon~)

I enjoy turning the tables on them and using their tactics on them. Well, until "well-meaning" liberals think I'm being too harsh on the poor fascists :(

You can force them to answer your questions (they love to change the subject), expose their logical fallacies, and remember they are hypocrites who will lie to make themselves look better than you (I'm reminded of the dude who spent 12 hours a day on Reddit telling me to get a life after I wrote the consumeproduct exposé). Here's an updated article about not debating fascists (it's in the sidebar but the new version has examples at the end).

> The downside is that this could create something of an echo chamber but a fascist opinion isn’t one worth hearing anyway.

If people want to be taken seriously, they have to have something serious to say. Both fascists and conservatives (who at this point are proto-fascists) want to spin the narrative in their favour any time someone dies and progressives protest because of it. They know they're being ridiculous.

We locked the comments here due to the unproductive debates it was creating. As per rule 2, we limit in-fighting and this thread was becoming too big for us to moderate effectively.

Moreover, the mod team of Antifa Stonetoss would like to remind everyone, after seeing several instances, that red fascism is an erroneous theory and such speech does not have a place on an antifascist sub. It shows a deep misunderstanding of fascism which must be corrected if one wants to be an effective antifascist activist. We have some articles here, including a list of resources to understand fascism.

Lmao this thread was brigaded by well-meaning conservatives who really want us to remember it was the gosh darn muslims that started trading slaves.

Here's my explanation of the transatlantic slave trade and why it's not comparable to slavery in the Muslim world, or any other form of slavery in fact.

And more of my articles about antifascism here if you're really interested.
