Here’s a fun history project for the weekend: count up the number of times that fighting between center-left and far-left parties and/or candidates have cleared the way for right-wing fascist movements to gain power.

In the election of March 1933, the last shot they had, more German voters supported other parties than they did the Nazis. But the non-Nazi majority (incl. left, center-left, and right wing "Never Nazi" types) was unable to unify against Hitler.

Later that year, after passing the Enabling Act, another election was held. This time, no other parties--none at all--won seats. They weren't even allowed to run candidates.

Here’s a fun history project: count up the number of times milquetoast opportunist centrists allied with right-wing fascist movements AGAINST the real left. It's way more common I can think of several examples in the past few years alone (Bolivia, Brazil, even 2016 US election)

I’m afraid this is an excellent point.

Appeasement to the center only moves the center further right. The fact we even consider it a "center left" that is blatantly corporatist at a time of earthly peril is ample demonstration of this. I understand the caution, but cautious steps led us here.

Right? It’s appalling that Clinton is picking these fights with so much at stake, all so she can sell a documentary about herself.

Would be great if the centrists quit kneecapping and literally executing the far left in exchange for pragmatic cooperation with the fascists, I tell you what

Especially when the cooperation lasts for about 45 minutes before they put it in the bin.
