From Star Wars: Andor to One Battle After Another, we're taught to hate fascism and sold the feeling of resistance; we’re never taught what revolution actual...
It’s about how merely anti-fascist art and movements can be recuperated and made safe by capitalism. Blow it up 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Nah I think some comrades thought that based on the title, Jessie is literally saying that anti-fascist activism is for fools. Which they are explicitly not saying lol, like they literally say that we need to fight fascists around the midpoint, but I suspect they picked that title to rope in liberals who do think that. This is about “leftist” media not actually telling stories about alternative ways of living. E.g., Star Wars has a relatively sympathetic portrayal of revolutionaries, but in the Disney movies, the rebels basically just fight for, and ultimately go back to l, the same liberal democracy that allowed fascism to develop, with predictable results in the Disney trilogy.
