Here is a thought for you

How the Marxist paradigm is being applied to the political situation now in the USA.

The dialectic of left-right-middle is the tool to marginalize any opposition. Anybody who identifies with this model, and identifies themselves as on the right, is vulnerable to being called extremist. If a person has already identified themselves as on the right, the label of "extremist" applied to the already admitted to position, is morphed into "fascist". See how that works? Brandon just did it by calling MAGA as semi-fascist.

As applied to the GOP, and those identifying with the Establishment, they get protection from this. All they have to do is to disavow any approval of the "extremists" who are in dissent. In this way, no meaningful opposition is possible. Only those who conform to the "middle" can be acceptable.

Simply being in the middle doesn't guarantee reasonableness nor truth. It simply makes any opposition to the left impossible, because to do so gets a label of extremist attached to the already admitted right. Opposition does not make you a fascist, for heaven's sake. But that is what the politicians would have you believe.

So Brandon identifies the MAGA wing of the GOP as extremists and "semi-fascists". All of this for voting for Donald Trump? All of this for disagreeing with them?

The dialectic used this way is made for the Marxists. They can get submission to their demands and policy proposals, and anybody who disagrees is a fascist. No wonder they win.

The Establishment wing of the GOP is in cahoots with the same wing of the Democrats. They cannot have any meaningful dissent. Instead, the GOP Establishment will pretend to oppose the Democrats, and refuse to condemn the obvious partisanship of the Democrats. They will pretend so as to avoid being called "extremists" and continue being puppets of the Democrats. Such an arrangement describes the political situation in the USA now. It is effectively a one-party state masquerading as a two-party state. No dissent is welcome, and may well be treated as sedition. No opposition to the left should call themselves "right". It sets you up for a well placed javelin in the form of an accusation of fascism. Calling yourselves a rightist is like painting a bullseye over your heart.
