Comparing modern day fascism to historic examples of fascism, is always valid. Choosing to "leave it in it's own place", is a form of denial. You are ignoring the obvious signs of fascism that are right in front of you, because you refuse to compare them to past examples. Hitler was a fascist. Every single one of Trump's policies that are comparable to Hitler's, need to be recognized for what they are. This is what fascism looks like. Closing your eyes to that fact, is dangerous.
Fascism is definitionally incoherent to most americans and even most leftists. It's just a synonym for people in government that I really don't like. If it's mild dislike, they're an asshole. Serious disagreements, they're "authoritarian". And if you really hate them, they're fascist.
History may rhyme but it doesn't repeat itself. Curious what your definition of "fascism" is. Don't say "capitalism in crisis". Give me something analytically useful.
Are you seriously doing the ‘anything you don’t like is fascism’ thing?
been here alla 1 day and gonna get your account nuked for this shit? libs are so fucking boring
Libs are people who cannot provide an analytically useful definition of fascism.
I love Xi.
Capitalism in crisis is analytically useful because it literally states what the economic basis/precursor for fascism is, you dolt.
sometimes vibes are more important than technicalities
definitely not in this case.
Oh no what if we accidentaly call an asshole hitler
