It is the parties traditionally called “neo-Nazi”, “fascist” and ultra-nationalist that are opposing EU militarization and warmongering, and having their votes quashed by the “democratic” and “liberal” states.
How does that fit?
Members of the Socialist Party can be wrong about things, of course.
And I agree that “Anti-fascists” are “fascistic”, using thuggery to silence the voicing of opinions they don’t like. The “Communists” were fascists. Both Mussolini’s and Hitler’s immediate precursors were as much leftist as rightist. Both called themselves “socialists” according to their own shallow definition, the same as leftists and some labourites do today. Ernst Rōhm’s SA was vociferously proletarian and in its own eyes “anti-capitalist.”
That is true, and so are many things on that site. I’m just saying we should be cautious too.
Talk of “fascism” and “Nazism” only confuses things.
I too am pessimistic, but I would rather trust the analysis of those who really understand the reality than those waxing hysterical over what’s on the surface and following Leninist ideology.
I am considered an alarmist here. However, I would be cautious about pronouncements on the Leninist site you link to. Especially with talk of “fascism”, which is an obsession with Leninist leftists, as “Nazism” is constantly being heard from Moscow.
Yes, services and “benefits” are being cut, and the Leyen-Macron-Merz-UK mob are militarizing, but for what actual purpose is not really clear: ostensibly to keep the Kiev regime standing.
What I would like to see here however, instead of contemptuous (?) silence at my own alarmism, is a proper SPGB analysis based on Socialist awareness, as opposed to Leftist “Fascism is on the march!” hysteria from a Bolshevist website.

No surplus value to be squeezed from the elderly, so feed them less.
