ID: 3 panel comic:

  1. A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.

  2. The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”

  3. The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”

    middle ground between the unregulated facists capitalism of today and the anarchy or authoritarian socialism

    Sure. You can enjoy the moderate centrism of the LAPD, the United Fruit Company, and Focus on the Family.

    Nazis and supremacist groups and systems are stamped out like the filth they are.

    No they aren’t. They’re in the highest eschalons of authority.

      Bud, I’m talking about what a middle ground centrist would want. It’s certainly not the past or current US government. It’s a lot lefter than is even available as choices besides maybe Bernie and the Squad. It just isn’t as left as tankies dream of.
