[BidenPresident]

Using violence to achieve political ends-- Trump and the GOP.

Using violence to achieve political ends-- Trump and the GOP.

surely you mean blm and antifa riots.

do you include when the government uses violence to achieve political ends?

how about the corporate involvement aspect of the actual definition?

you ignore that completely.

 

[BidenPresident]

surely you mean blm and antifa riots.

I certainly did not say that.

 

[Truck Fump / h1b]

I certainly did not say that.

because you're a politically biased imbecile who willfully ignores what words mean.

I have studied history and European fascism. You cannot even use proper English grammar.

See what I mean AssHatZombie? The Left just makes up the definition and uses it as a curse word. They haven't got a clue what fascism is.

Lost interest in your trolling.

You certainly didn't learn anything from your studies judging from your posts here. By the way, your use of a split infinitive shows it is you that does not use proper English grammar.

Wow! I didn't even address you and managed to shut down your argument. That's amazing!

What? You aren't going to call me a fascist?

Almost all dictatorships are Leftwing. Cuba and N. Korea are Leftwing. They both espouse world domination. This has long been a Communist goal. Hitler and Mussolini were both radical Leftists. You do know that Mussolini and Stalin got along pretty good in the 30's don't you?

That's Mussolini cooperating with Stalin. The Italians went so far as to help the Soviets (Russians) design and build a whole generation of warships, design and build warplanes, etc. The two cooperated economically and intimately.

Because early communist philosophy believed it would dominate the world is a far cry from what exists today. There is very little done in the way of pushing communist expansion. Communism also requires a socialist economic system but China has strayed from that and developed many capitalist free market concepts. Early U. S. history contained many concepts we no longer follow today.

In my life time, it was the REPUBLICAN wonks in the media and general population during the REAGAN administration who publicly floated the idea of eliminating term limit for the Presidency.

Trump had an ass kissing fest by various senators and congressmen (Liz Cheney among them) televised during his first month in office. His documented actions and words lean towards his belief that the Presidency is autocratic in nature.

Currently polls show a percentage of Republicans would STILL vote for him in 2024.

Given that the tenants of reaganomics are deregulation regarding our corporations, and adding the undercurrent of evangelical christian theocracy (i.e., roe vs. wade), one would have to be either genuine stupid or willfully ignorant to see how the current RIGHT leans towards fascism.

Fascism - political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

China went fascist. They adopted Statist Capitalism as an economic system, became very nationalistic, racist, and paranoid. They didn't move to the Right one iota, but rather just changed position on the radical Left.

 

[BidenPresident]

Every historian states that fascism is a right wing movement. No surprise stupid right wingers never studied history.

There is no Nazi party. The Nazi party was destroyed in WW2. This isn't Germany. Fascism is a form of socialism...Democrats.

Merriam-Webster DEFINITIONS:

No dictionary defines any word. False authority fallacy.

Fascism - a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation

Fascism is not patriotism.

and often race above the individual

Fascism is not racism.

and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,

Fascism does not require a dictator, but it does usually require at least an oligarchy to implement it.

severe economic and social regimentation,
and forcible suppression of opposition

Sort of. Fascism is government manipulation of markets. That can and does include regimentation, supporting monopolies, etc.

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Fascism is not dictatorship or an autocracy.

Communism - a doctrine based on revolutionary Marxian socialism and Marxism-Leninism that was the official ideology of the Soviet Union

Communism is not based on Marx. Neither is fascism. They both existed long before Marx. Marx argued for both fascism and communism. Mussolini coined the word 'fascism', but the concept predates him as well.

b: a totalitarian system of government in which a single authoritarian party controls state-owned means of production

Sort of. Communism is government ownership of markets. That can and does include production.

c: a final stage of society in Marxist theory in which the state has withered away and economic goods are distributed equitably

Communism is not a theory. It was not created by Marx. It is not anarchy. It is not equitable.

Socialism - any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

Nope. That is communism, which happens to be a form of socialism.

2a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property

Communism again.

b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state

Communism again.

3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done

Communism is not 'transitional'. Marx argued that to put down capitalism and implement communism, you must first implement the intermediate stage of fascism.

Capitalism - an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

Sort of.
Capitalism is the voluntary production of goods and services for voluntary purchase at an agreed upon price.

Theocracy - : government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided

This one is actually correct.

Dictatorship - a despotic state, a government organization or group in which absolute power is so concentrated, a form of government in which absolute power is concentrated in a dictator or a small clique, autocratic rule, control, or leadership (dictator - one holding complete autocratic control : a person with unlimited governmental power)

No. An oligarchy is not a dictator. An oligarchy is dictatorship by committee.

Oligarchy - a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes

The 'corrupt and selfish' is redundant.

Democracy - government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections

No. Democracies have no representatives. A democrats is government by popular vote. There is no such thing as an 'indirect' democracy.

Autocracy - government in which one person possesses unlimited power

No. An autocracy is a government with unlimited power. It doesn't have to be a single dictator.

Merriam-Webster is not God. No dictionary defines any word.

 

[Into the Night]

Nazism is an idea. You cannot destroy ideas.

It is not an idea. It was a political party, destroyed in WW2. It is an acronym in the German language.

The Nazi party believed in racism, fascism, and communism. They were socialists. They were autocrats. While brutal, they were not as brutal as other socialists.

I know of no example where a dictatorship didn't embrace socialism. I know of no example where a dictatorship was anything other than 'left wing'.
