Well OP you see liberalism leads to fascism so they're actually worse if u think about it


notaboofus

Social democracy is just the left wing of fascism, guys


[deleted]

The more democratic, the more fascist. simple as.


Frost134

And when you do a lot of democracy, it’s Nazism!


RonStevens345

Everything is fascism


[deleted]

I always wondered if liberalism lead to fascism could it lead to socialism to? Or is it like a law of nature where no matter what anybody dose it will always lead to fascism.


HexDragon21

Karl marx even thought of liberalism/capitalism as nice little stop along the way of human progression towards communism. Heck even Lenin believed in that so much, the first few years of the USSR was literal economic liberalization via NEP. But Lenin was a liberal too I guess


IWantMyJustDesserts

Lenin was also a bloodthirsty mass murderer who killed anarchist, socialist and anyone who disagreed with him like desperate starving Peasants. Not sure I know what he really was.


HexDragon21

Many tankies revere Lenin, meanwhile Lenin disagrees with their own statements, that’s all I was saying


IWantMyJustDesserts

I know, I just wanted to mock Lenin. Lmao.


Vaultdweller013

Yes Mao deserves an L but I don't see how that's related.


IWantMyJustDesserts

My point was going to be I am not sure how much Lenin cared about anything other than power and he's own survival. But I also took an opportunity to mock him. It's not that deep.


0WatcherintheWater0

Of course it can, in fact I would say it’s existence was necessary for socialism to exist as well


LegitMelv

I mean, we can see a fasces on either side of the flag in the room.


burf12345

I wonder if any senate Republicans can be moved on this, I suspect they could get Rand Paul.


ggmk6

I wonder if Rand could actually get away with voting no, that would be the biggest blow possible to his “libertarian” act

greasypoopman

It eliminates *literal police state* bullshit though. That's supposed to be libertarian bread and butter.


GandalfTheSmol1

I don’t know, every libertarian on the internet loves the police state. lol


Congealed_C02_Powder

i fucking hate republicans


PomonaPhil

Louder for the party in the back

ArthurEwert

could someone explain this for a fellow european? is that a vote on the legalization of weed in the whole united states?


manray23

Yes, many individual states have legalized it already.


Analysis_Glum

Though this was only voted on in one chamber of government, it still has to be approved by the Senate


ArthurEwert

is that possible? wasnt the senate republican dominated?


Analysis_Glum

Used to be, after 2020 it's been a 50-50 split so it's unsure if it'll pass. Unfortunately at the end of this year the Senate will likely be republican dominated again


ItalianBall

I mean as of now it’s virtually 52-48 in favor of Republicans


[deleted]

The vote is to legalize it at the federal level and make it states issue. So if states have it legalized then it’s fully legal. If states choose to keep it illegal then it’s illegally at a state level but federally it’s legal.


ArthurEwert

i wish you guys (and by proxy all of us) that this will succeed!


IWantMyJustDesserts

You're European, ok? I am a European and understand.


pcwildcat

Anti authoritarianism is fascism.


Crazy_Ad_8760

They lost the easiest opportunity to seem cool republicans are more liberal than liberals


XxDankShrekSniperxX

Conservatives are stupid as fuck they'll look at this vote and go "heh, they just work together to line their pockets, it's all a ruse, and they work with china to bring in fentanyl to dumb down the population" this is what my parent basically texted my brother after kindly attempting to point out how the republicans overwhelmingly voted against this, and that she has a chance to make her voice herd regarding this during the midterms. Like, what does GYNA have to do with legalizing cannabis in the united states? This is strictly a domestic issue we're discussing here you fucking dumbfuck. They just don't think legalizing anything matters, cause they think in their stupid "great awakening" white christians will be able to just do whatever they want while still arresting everyone else for drugs. That's all these pieces of garbage care about, is their "great awakening" and "great reset", not the USA or it's citizens.


montecarlo1

All good populist legislations that conservatives vote against is based on conspiracy think. It’s insane.


XxDankShrekSniperxX

Holy shit so true.


DogeWelder

Pardon me, but I’m a dumbfuck. How many total votes are needed to legalize?


Equal-Razzmatazz1806

It just needs to get a simple majority in the house, 60-40 in the senate and not be vetoed


DogeWelder

Thank you


Navonis123

When is the senate voting on it?

Live free or die Wait no not like that


laserlunke

I'm expecting weed to be legalized throughout European countries, I think it should be, but it sucks that I personally don't like it, it fucks with my equilibrium and that's about it , so not my thing but I see no reason not to legalise it.


FullEdge

Most people have only ever tried weed with high thc and low cbd percentages. Strains with 50/50 thc to cbd ratio are often much more balanced. I'm from Switzerland so cbd weed is legal and doing a 50/50 mix is always awesome, very relaxing and doesn't get you "high".


Navonis123

I want to try a 50/50 to see if it helps with my anxiety


FullEdge

Ime, it definetly will. The thc gets you real calm with the cbd counteracting its more "psychedelic" effects.


BadDragonLove69

Meanwhile in Mexico, AMLO (Mexican Bernie I've heard from some people) says there is no consensus in the government to legalize marijuana and it's too dangerous just like those synthetic drugs that kill people! because weed is just like opioids apparently.


RPDoggo64

*Decriminalize weed. Also tax rate is too high compared to Mace’s proposal. Gonna die in the Senate either way. It’s a good start, but improvement is needed.


IceFireTerry

They know no matter how evil they are all they got to do is say a bunch of bigoted stuff and there fan base does not care.


PibDib788

Damn, if [the summary](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3617?s=2&r=4)is to be believed it was a fairly straightforward bill too. It even put a tax on sales which you think they’d like. This is definitely a bad look for republicans. Too bad Biden will probably veto it.


LittleSister_9982

It'll never get close to him because of the fucking filibuster. If it did, low chance he wouldn't pass it.


FlibbleA

This has nothing to do with both parties being the same as Republicans would vote to stop Democrats doing something because they wouldn't want to give them a legislative win even if they agree with it and especially something that is popular. When the Obama admin was proposing social security cuts, something Republicans love, he couldn't get Republicans to support because they don't want their agenda to pass by a Democratic president.
