Because they look at the contradictions and blame them on things like some ethnic group ruining everything. Labor movements have actually traditionally done a lot of that, but fascists solely want to blame regular working class people for the issues that capitalism wrought. (And exterminate them.) And again, we try to avoid talks of utopia. We just want to move on from capitalism.

And while you may say something that sounds rational, it may not sound as rational to everyone, especially if they are seeped in a lot of racist propaganda.

How do you deprogram someone who has been told their entire life that Jews and immigrants are the real problem that Jews and immigrants aren't?

If you want to see some of the most disturbing shit ever recorded about that. CW I don’t have all the Hexbear features, it’s the act of killing. It’s a doc where they interview people who murdered about a million suspected communists in Indonesia and then had some of the people who did it put on a stage production about it: https://www.nipissingu.ca/library/video-streaming-nipissing/humanities-and-social-sciences-videos/act-killing

Also, these guys are still walking around and are deeply embedded into local politics.

You take power and start fixing the problems, and you ban people who thinks Jews and immigrants are the problem from saying that or holding any power.
