"The only fascist state in the setting" um, what? I don't think there is a non-fascist state in the Grimdark except for the ancient races which are psychic and/or networked non-hierarchical hiveminds but even then they seem to occasionally create a commander.

I was always under the impression the Tau were communists, not fascists. The real fascists are the Imperium of Man.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 days ago (2 children)

At a distance they sound communist, but the rigid caste system and ruling class make it very authoritarian.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Boy do I have some news for you about irl communist countries

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Beat me to it. Lol!

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You do? Did you find one that communists agree is actually communist?

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

While it is an interesting discussion to have about if certain places that claimed to be communist/democratic/whatever actually being so or whatnot, I will still stand by my statement that communism can be paired with authoritarianism, and there have at least been some countries that claimed to be communist that were quite authoritarian.

Authoritarian != fascist

Needs some reading up on political theory to understand, which is a dry subject matter. So the social sites have people calling even monarchies fascism, but it ain't the same.

EDIT: Ugh literally the comment next to yours is like "If it HaS a LeaDeR It'S faScISm"

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago

That's a fine academic point, it doesn't matter in practice. It's like arguing a shit sandwich is better with piss on it.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anything with a supreme unquestionable leader is indistinguishable from fascism.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fascism is a type of dictatorship. That means not all dictatorships are fascist.

I believe there's a Dr. Seuss quote about this, somewhere out there.

Is it Red Fish Blue Fish 1 Fish 2 Fish?

Hang on, is this going to devolve into communist dictatorship apologia by the way of "America Bad" whataboutism?

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

No, he wasn't that far left. He just hated American Nazi collaborators. Believe it or not, there were a lot of them in the US during WW2.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Okay but tf does that have to do with there not being any real differences between types of autocracy?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A subset isn't the superset.

A cat is a mammal. A dog is a mammal. That doesn't mean there is no real difference between cats and dogs.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh okay, cool, so Communist dictatorships are a kind of Fascism. Glad you're finally on the same page.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I already said Fascism is a subset of dictorships. A cat is not a dog despite both being mammals.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If your cat looks like a dog, acts like a dog, is genetically the same as a dog, then it's a fucking dog.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

You know damn well that a cat isn't a dog. Your argument, "But what if the cat was a dog." is ridiculous.

Government systems are categorized by their differences despite your ignorance.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

You should have a more open growth mindset. If you want to live a long life that grows with you consider to snurgle up to the Nurgle gang 🤗

Orcs by default own the means of production, cus they all grow their own money in their mouths.

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Orcs are an anarchist commune. New leaders nominate themselves and the collective decides to follow them or not.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 9 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Well, Ork did have a supreme leader until like 5 psychic ladies blew his head off with their vagina magic. Don't at me about the sexism, I didn't write the 40k lore.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If it's 40K then it's Orks. None of this Tolkieny Orc stuff!

[–] TheLunatickle@lemmy.zip 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"The only Facist state" lol wut

[–] tobebannedbygaymods@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago

he means Mankind

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

Orks is the only meritocracy

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

Why's that always about vaginas?
