PARIS—“Do I really have to answer that question? I’m certainly not voting for the person leading the Republican Party.” That was the response of communist icon Angela Davis when a journalist asked about her intentions for the 2024 U.S.
Naive to expect Americans to know this. Or that “the man who appointed Hitler” was, despite formalities, a military dictator, and that the political opposition there got its share of extrajudicial executions, and political violence was normalized there before any kind of election success of Nazis. People don’t like looking into details.
That the whole narrative of “good democracy turning fascist” in post-WWI Germany is bullshit - it wasn’t really democracy.
But it was similar to most of the “flawed democracies” on our planet in our time, for which the narrative is that it’s some new thing uncommon in history before USSR’s breakup. So that narrative was intended to divert attention from similarities between Weimar Germany and those very profitable (for corrupt western politicians) partners.
But getting back to your parallel, it’s correct. Kamala Harris is the “law & order & respectable establishment” type. She doesn’t even promise solutions to actual problems, only to some symptoms, and those solutions seem like making fun of the general population.
