You are fantastically obtuse in your perception of a word that means doing direct action to create material change.
We must hide the fact our arguments are driven by ideology and focus on the material conditions and how they can be immediately improved
That’s just a specific kind of praxis though. Praxis is about doing things to change the current state of things. It doesn’t proscribe only teaching theory. You can be doing praxis without saying anything academic.
what do you think praxis means here?
Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, realized, applied, or put into practice. “Praxis” may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practising ideas. This has been a recurrent topic in the field of philosophy, discussed in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Francis Bacon, Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Ludwig von Mises, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Jean-Paul Sartre, Paulo Freire, Murray Rothbard, and many others. It has meaning in the political, educational, spiritual and medical realms.
Kill the Meme Cop in your head.

I’m not saying they are the same. I’m laughing about someone trying to make the argument that there is a special significance of difference in the context of this meme.
That’s why the hastag is funny.
The meme says fascist, which Nazis are a subset. That’s why it is silly to try to make a distinction about the article I quoted. The Venn diagram is quite simple.
No, it is a quote of the previous poster. It’s funny because they think that distinguishing nazis from fascism has some bearing on the validity of the meme which is just silly af.

The meme mentions ‘fascist’, and all nazis are fascists. Is this so hard?
I like how the format is also the iceberg meme.
Yes, all poodles are dogs. Venn diagrams are fun. So the meme works just fine.
On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II.
Article from before all the nazi stuff got memory holed in favor of chanting “Slava Ukraini” while NATO cheered on forcing a generation of conscripts to fight a losing war to push up arms dealers financials.
On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers.[3] Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This short propaganda film rebranded “terror bombing” aerial bombardment strategy to seem like a moral obligation for competent war fighting. The US and allies have been utilizing this strategy consistently in various conflicts. They still didn’t “win” in (all of) Korea or Vietnam though.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.
“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”
The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.

politicians who compromise with fascists are still miles better than just uncompromised fascism
the paradox of tolerance, ever heard of it?
That’s the dream, but a lot of ‘leftists’ aren’t always quite fully anti-capitalist yet. They can get there, but it takes time and learning/unlearning. I’ve started just calling myself a socialist because it is more direct. Leftist is more vibes based for a lot of people.
