If I were cops I wouldn't want neo-nazis support in any way.

[–]dman24752 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Unfortunately, a lot of cops would appreciate the support. The FBI came out with a report in 2006.. Considering the number of white supremacist groups around Washington State, I wouldn't be surprised if there were members of law enforcement in Olympia in those groups.

Ugh so sad. It's like lobbyists in Congress.

Sure, sounds good, except these are very violent people with violent criminal records. One of the ringleaders of the group of nazis coming to Olympia from Portland area recently got out of prison for an arson conviction, an arson conviction that was lowered from an initial murder charge.

Their rhetoric is also incredibly violent. This isn't just like Westboro Baptists where they are horribly unpleasant but don't actually cause any harm, their speech is being used to grow their numbers with the intention of having a large enough influence to get away with violence against minorities.

This assembly won't be peaceful. I have heard from reliable sources that many of them are armed, and several are planning to attack black anti-police protestors.

And of course the cops are most likely going to turn a blind eye unless it gets significantly out of hand, so I sure hope that the community fights back against the nazis if/when they get physical.

These guys are just out there letting everyone know how insecure and ignorant of they are. These kind of antics won't draw any supporters who aren't already sympathetic.

The fascists who know how to hide their true values and agenda even while facing cameras every day - like the ones swarming about in DC - those are the dangerous ones.

All the more reason to seek autonomy for the region.

And a solid fuck you to whoever is trying to bury this information. Cascadia is antifa or it is nothing.

Anti fascist, anti capitalist, and anti hierarchical in general.

Really wish the r/cascadia crowd was more oriented on the bioregion and less on the Left politics.

Am happy capitalist here.

Like half the comments are from capitalists whenever anyone says something radical...

[–]aeromechanicalaceWashington 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Capitalism IS bad for the bioregion though. What about nestle trying to monopolize water sources in Oregon and BC, and the recent oil spill in vancouver?

[–]Cascadianarchist 3ポイント4ポイント  (14子コメント)

Well, I wish that the anti-capitalist and anti-hierarchy view was true for all Cascadians (it surely isn't as of yet), but I'm pretty sure we all agree that facism is bad doodoo.

[–]Chiafriend12Willamette Valley 12ポイント13ポイント  (11子コメント)

I understand disdain toward big business, monopolies, etc., but why should Cascadia be anti-capitalist as a whole? I personally haven't given this much deep thought but if you could shed some light or point me in the right direction it would be very helpful

[–]MacThuleWashington 4ポイント5ポイント  (9子コメント)

Yeah; opposing state-sponsored monopolies and corporate immunity for criminals calling themselves capitalists is different from opposing actual free trade and capitalism.

hi, the person who answered you is not the person you asked. the person who answered is a capitalist, and them injecting their ideology as if they are explaining the other person's position, I think, is dishonest at best.

there is no difference between "crony capitalism" and capitalism. capitalism itself is inherently exploitative. if that wasn't the case, we wouldn't be in the position we are now, that position being capitalism destroying the environment & alienating us from the fruits of our labor, and dividing workers into race, sex, and class in order to prevent a unified movement to share our wealth amongst ourselves.

because profit is the goal of capitalism, profit will always take precedence over humanity. some would say that capitalism without state regulation would be liberating, but those regulations are the product of workers uniting and deciding that capitalism without regulation is unacceptable.

think of your job: you work 8 hours, and make $80. your labor is actually creating much more wealth than that, but the employer keeps the majority of it for themselves. anarchists believe you and your community are entitled to the full fruits of your labor, and that your employer should only be entitled to the fruits of their own labor (but less individualized, the cooperating class of people as a whole are entitled to the fruits of the class as a whole)

true egalitarian cooperation cannot have the upper (boss) class and the lower (worker) class, only cooperative workers who share labor and wealth.

this is anarchist communism, which is what Marx called Full communism, the stage after and the goal of the dictatorship of the proletariat. anarchists believe a social, rather than political, revolution, will allow society to achieve full communism and skip the obviously terrible dictatorship.

this is only a rough explanation, and for more info, feel free to come check out /r/anarchism

[–]aeromechanicalaceWashington 3ポイント4ポイント  (6子コメント)

The problem is that, because profit is always the ultimate goal, capitalism will always seek to create monopolies and minimize worker rights, in order to maximize profit. It's just the way the system works.

[–]MacThuleWashington 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's an oversimplification. Capitalism seeks nothing, it has no will. Capitalism is not a system, it is an idea. Some individuals within any system and embracing or claiming to embrace any ideology will always seek to maximize their control within the framework of that system and the range of actions acceptable under that ideology.

To ascribe avarice, ambition, greed and insecurity to the concept of capitalism - and thereby imply that other ideals and systems based on other ideals somehow eliminate these human traits - seems naive.

[–]aeromechanicalaceWashington -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm not ascribing anything human to capitalism.

Think of economics like a very complicated strategy game. Capitalism is one build if you will, socialism is another. The capitalist method of economics IS based on the 'players', that is, owners of business and resources, making profit. Most will then re-invest that profit into aquiring more wealth, and so on. This inevitably leads to massive inequality and concentration of wealth, once you've fallen behind, you can't catch up without anything short of a one in several million opportunity.

This hurts everyone else, since no one can simply not participate in the economy and survive, thus, 99.whatever% of the population is forced to operate at a huge disadvantage.

[–]MacThuleWashington 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

"Think of economics like.... " No. Thank you. Please think of me like someone you do not get to tell how to think.

You DID anthropomorphize capitalism. Please re-read your post: "capitalism will always seek to... " Capitalism does not seek. Individuals claiming to represent or endorse capitalism seek.

That's why the government exists. Corporations (should) work within the confines of the law.

[–]Longarm_alchemistWashington 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

which I posit that the idea of Corporations working within the law is an oxymoron because, especially when money gets involved, that they can just buy out politicians or become them themselves and make laws that benefit their interests, to the detriment of the people that a proper society is supposed to represent. Capitalism incentivizes the accumulation of wealth and unchecked Capitalism is extremely dangerous, look at the 19th and 20th century in America, up until the anti-trust laws and the socialist movements for the 8 hour working day, anti-child labour laws, and minimum wage. The conclusion I come to is that Capitalism is inherently flawed and needs to be overhauled or scrapped because if left unchecked it will lead to corruption.

[–]vaguelyhuman 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Long story short: Private ownership of resources and business for profit will always lead to those owners doing what makes them the most profit, which often comes at the expense of the people and environment. Look at the constant fight cascadia is currently engaged in with the fossil fuel industry, which, with it's vast resources, could almost certainly switch to renewable energy, but don't do so because fossil fuels are still more profitable.

TLDR: Capitalism = Profit for the owners, and screw everyone and everything else.

Yeah, unfortunately the Cascadian movement seems to have been appropriated by social democratic and liberal nationalists masquerading as 'bioregionalists'.

[–]MacThuleWashington 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think the concept of Cascadia has been appropriated to date, but there are certainly plenty of the aforementioned groups falsely flying its flag in an attempt to bolster support for their agendas.

So I did some checking for demonstrations in Olympia over the last handful of days. There is no mention of Neo-Nazis anywhere. Would you please be so kind as to show where this information is coming from?

[–]Alerta_Cascadia[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's a lot of photos on Facebook, but the only news source I could find was yesterdays Olympian which briefly mentioned that the pro police demonstrators were using white supremecist symbols. Antifa has been monitoring chatter on stormfront indicating that they plan another demo saturday

links? I'd like to share this info.

[–]kynlol 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Let the local news know, so that they can come out. Alert the police that these people are making you feel threatened and that these are not the type of people that they should allow themselves to be associated with.

What I've been trying to say this whole time... Expose the fascists as fascists, tie them to excessive force and the police state, and then let them try to swim with the weight.

The less attention you give these fucks the better off you are. They want a counter protest. They want an arguments. Ignoring them hurts the most.

Who cares? If a racist holds a demonstration and no one shows up to watch, did it actually happen?

This is for bored children who running around calling themselves nazi, or antifa, or w/e.

[–]Alerta_Cascadia[S] -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Olympia and the northwest in general had a huge problem with these shitheads in the nineties. They murdered and jumped a few POC people. The whole basis of antifa is that you do not give these people a platform to organize and spread their ideas. They may seem like a joke now but they can be dangerous, especially when colluding and supporting the police. Look at greece

So I've been digging around for Nazi jokes, I found some good ones that are useful as one liners, and some hilarious stuff that's simply too long for that format:

The Führer always keeps his promises. He promised us work and bread - he didn't say anything about butter.

A man wants to buy a pig from a farmer, but he says it has to be an aryan pig. "What's that?", the farmer asks. "Well", the man answers. "It has to have bristles like Hitler, a snout like Goebbels and a belly like Göring!" (1934)

At a press meeting Goebbels tells an American journalist: "If Roosevelt had something like the SS, there wouldn't be any Gangsters left in the US!" The journalist answers: "Of course not. They would all be squad leaders by now." (1934)

What's the difference between christianity and national socialism? - In christianity one man died for all, in national socialism all men are expected to die for one." (1944)

Q: What do you get for a new joke? - A: Six months in Dachau. (1938)

A Jewish man was jumping up and down on a cliff, shouting "2345!" "2345" A Nazi came along and angrily said "Why are you acting so crazy?" The Jewish man told the Nazi to stand at the edge of the cliff and look down, So the Nazi did, then the Jewish man kicked him off the cliff. He resumed chanting, but this time it was "2346!" "2346!"

Hitler visits a lunatic asylum as he passes down the line, he comes across a man who isn’t saluting. “Why aren’t you saluting like the others?” Hitler barks. “Mein Führer, I’m the nurse, I’m not crazy!”

“One of the first ones I did is that I’d bring giant, blown-up photos of Hitler, Goering, Goebbels and others on stage and I’d say, ‘Now, should I hang them, or line them up against the wall?’

Another one was simple — I’d send someone out on stage with a sock in their mouth, wait a few minutes, and then the announcer would walk out and say, ‘Now that the political part of our program is over, we’ll move onto other entertainment.’”
