    Let the power of your ideals stand on their own.

    “Fascism will die in the marketplace of ideas” has been conclusively disproven.

    This is not because fascism is a strong idea, it’s because the marketplace of ideas (like most markets) ranges from “doesn’t work very well” to “rigged.”

      Lol fascism got into power because there is a revolutionary mood in the air and the capitalists have spent a century banning the idea of socialism at every turn. I feel very confident that socialism would have become popular if there wasn’t an active effort to stymie it’s adoption by the masses.

      So yes the marketplace of ideas is rigged.
