Back in the day the fash had to be well organized, because if they weren't and they failed, the commies were gonna win. These days neo liberalism has so thoroughly defeated communism outside of some strongholds that the fash can bumble around without consequences because nobody is there to actually fight them

Nobody wants to work anymore

Bet you three to one this shit wasn't planned ahead of time

You're probably gonna end up being killed or arrested, so you may as well go full on.

I spent like 6 months going over leg entanglements and submissions every Saturday one year as a blue belt in BJJ. When I finally went to a tournament that allowed them I fucked it up so bad you'd have thought I saw it from YouTube and didn't bother practicing first. The pressure of the tournament was too much and I lost to somebody I was frankly more athletic than when I started with the upper hand.

The point being that violence sucks really really bad. It's a lot of pressure and it fucks up your brain bigly permanently. You probably go around dreading the day you planned to do the coup and you have no recourse, you can't tell anyone about it, and it's a big deal that you're doing it. If you're not the government with your monopoly on violence, you're probably in some rinky-dink training facility if you have anything at all, so you don't even have training to fall back on. When you think about how you're probably going to end up being killed or arrested, that's just more adrenaline that makes you do something but probably not something productive. You're liable to start fragging comrades and texting your crush more than you're liable to martyr yourself in order to create an opening that your other terrified comrades have the presence of mind to take advantage of. If you survive the night and the adrenaline fades you'll look around and be like "idk why I texted you, I'm an idiot. Can you post a billion dollar bail for me? I'm in Guantanamo rn."

If you're not doing a military coup then you need so much popular resistance that you win by virtue of Brownian motion letting someone stumble into a winning position because every other position was taken. And in order to do that you'd have to start by letting the people know they have nothing to lose but their chains so that they'll read Marx. I doubt liberal or is going to do it. Fash only works because you already have all the power.

Maybe when you're getting CIA coup money, and everyone you know is getting CIA coup money, you think you're a lot more popular than you actually are

neoliberalism.

unironically

I just want to dip my toes in the Rubicon for a bit ok

you need ideological commitment from the coup doers or the general populace. You also need a degree of social change\degradation to legitimate the commitment. Finally, you need to accept sacrifice during the process.

Nowadays, mass movements are difficult to come by because people are too atomized and have too much to lose. The irony is the only real change can only come when you are ready to give away your current condition and start dreaming.

They don't read theory:

Has the guy been deposed? I havent seen anything.

They're just making sure they fulfill the tradition of South Korean presidents being corrupt criminals.
