Solidarity to CodePink getting the message for diplomacy instead of endless money/arms heaping in the war as always. Can't habeeb Bernie went from resisting with his full body weight between two cops in his youth, to dolling out zip-ties like friendship bracelets. ![bern-disgust](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/130116e5-9b3a-4dab-8f12-5e32099fb9e8.png "emoji bern-disgust")

Keep in mind that fascism is the most powerful tool of anti-socialism. If the masses can't be placated, fascism must be deployed to save capitalism. So usually the quote is used when social democrats go mask off like with sdp and the freikorps. Basically Social democrats, like other capitalists have to rely on fascism as a safety net.
