I definitely think liberal media tends to automatically call all MLs fascists and that anything remotely centralized and militant they will slur as such.
That being said, I was unfamiliar so I spent some time trying to research Malema and the EFF. And while I can still say that I critically support them, there’s a lot of unambigous statements I’m finding that I just don’t vibe with regardless if it is understandable due to the scars and even ongoing wounds of apartheid and colonialism. Perhaps there is more nuance to their positions than what Western MSM is throwing at me, and I have no doubt to their ML intentions, hence the critical support but…yeah.
