Nazis are basically never banned from any lemmy instances, except our, for being nazis. I rarily even see nazi shit banned despite reporting it every time, and if they are banned, it’s usually for tone policing reason.
I haven’t seen that phrase. How much does it appear? Is it used by nazi-types? I think I’m missing some critical info.
I’m very anti-nazi, but I haven’t seen anything approaching nazi speech in the couple of months that I’ve been here. I’ve seen right-wing apologists and occasional conspiracy support, but that gets called out and voted down. Am I experiencing a diff Lemmy because I’m not subscribed to specific channels or something?
I mostly just meant that as a reply to KIGV2, as they’d have context for it.
It’s a very common saying in this instance, and in other communist spaces online.
The underlying idea is basically that fascism and liberalism are inherently interlinked. Liberalism creates the conditions for fascism to thrive (uncritical free speech, private property), and fascism protects the basic things Liberalism does (private property etc).
“Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”, “fascism is the military wing of liberalism”, and “social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism” are all quotes meant to communicate that relationship.
You might find this bit ofthis piece interesting/relevant:
Firstly, it is not true that fascism is only the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. Fascism is not only a military-technical category. Fascism is the bourgeoisie’s fighting organisation that relies on the active support of Social-Democracy. Social-Democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. There is no ground for assuming that the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of Social-Democracy. There is just as little ground for thinking that Social-Democracy can achieve decisive successes in battles, or in governing the country, without the active support of the fighting organisation of the bourgeoisie. These organisations do not negate, but supplement each other. They are not antipodes, they are twins. Fascism is an informal political bloc of these two chief organisations; a bloc, which arose in the circumstances of the post-war crisis of imperialism, and which is intended for combating the proletarian revolution. The bourgeoisie cannot retain power without such a bloc. It would therefore be a mistake to think that “pacifism” signifies the liquidation of fascism. In the present situation, “pacifism” is the strengthening of fascism with its moderate, Social-Democratic wing pushed into the forefront.
If that’s not your speed, that’s cool. Lemmygrad’s not for everyone, and you should be able to block the communities that are most active here!
Look at modlog. Basically no one banned for being nazi, and you just need to skim worldnews to see some nazi apologia. They are sometimes banned but as i said for other reasons. Also i meant all instances, can Dessalines and Nutomic even ban people at let’s say .world?
modlog is a bit busted, it can be hard to tell if you don’t specifically sort by actions. No they can’t ban .world users, I just haven’t really seen any of the apologia coming from .ml like I have .world

There are an awful lot of pre-scratched nazis floating around right now though.
Here? Nah. I ain’t been here a minute but I find that hard to believe.
They’re talking about that “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” saying.

Thanks for the helpful post, I didn’t have all this context
Happy to help! :)
we harass them to post hog until a mod gets around to banning their current account.
Truly a post hoggesian wilderness XD
there’s no way nazis don’t get banned on lemmy.ml, that would be extremely out of character from dessalines and nutomic

Libs will claim they support healthcare then refuse to administer the only known cure for fascism, smh
