Define "fascism"

[MaryL]

When Liberal progressive democrats force their ideals on US, then THEY control the justice system and persecute and demonize anyone that questions THEM? If that isn't facism, what IS?

 

[Confederate Soldier]

Good question.

I know what answers are coming though. And no, Nazism is not quite the same as fascism.

Fascism - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism,[1] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy[2] that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[3][4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, liberalism, and Marxism,[5] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.[3][6]

Fascists saw World War I as a revolution that brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state, and technology. The advent of total war and the total mass mobilization of society had broken down the distinction between civilians and combatants. A military citizenship arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner during the war.[7] The war had resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing economic production and logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens.[7]

Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete. They regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.[8] A fascist state is led by a strong leader (such as a dictator) and a martial lawgovernment composed of the members of the governing fascist party to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.[8] Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views imperialism, political violence and war as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.[9] Fascists advocate a dirigisme[10][11] economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and economic interventionist policies.[12] The extreme authoritarianism and nationalism of fascism often manifests a belief in racial purity or a master race, usually synthesized with some variant of racism or bigotry against a demonized "Other". These ideas have motivated fascist regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.[13]

Who controls the justice system? (conservatives)
Who is persecuting and demonizing anyone who questions them? (Persecution of transgenders, Disney, teachers etc)…conservatives.

So, here we are. If you don't use the phoney made up gender construct of the liberals, or recognize the exagerated racism they are pushing we are the bad guys. No, we aren't.

 

[Baron Von Murderpaws]

Fascism is more about the equality of the nation, as opposed to equality per citizen.
They look at the country as a whole entity, not individuals.

This isn't the end of the thread. See? I just posted in it, faggot.

Relevant reading...

''In the Fascist State, the individual is not suppressed, but rather multiplied, just as in a regiment a soldier is not weakened but multiplied by the number of his comrades. The Fascist State organizes the nation, but it leaves sufficient scope to individuals; it has limited useless or harmful liberties and has preserved those that are essential. It cannot be the individual who decides in this matter, but only the State.''

Mussolini, ''Doctrine of Fascism'' (1932)

Reads an awful lot like the views of some of the more disingenuous frauds around here. Ahem...

When Democrat Liberals, (that represent a tiny minority), threaten to "burn down shit". I am like, send in the National Guard and use deadly force and shoot them to little bitty pieces. Hells yeah.

Democrats dictate YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW their mandates. Masks? Gender ideals? Made up Racism, George Floyd didn't die from fentanyl overdose? Racism? It's a control issue, like abortion. The liberals are ABOUT CONTROL and they are the very definition of fascism.

Duh...

In the book, Goldberg argues that both social liberalism and fascism descended from progressivism. According to Goldberg, before World War II "fascism was widely viewed as a progressive social movement with many liberal and left-wing adherents in Europe and the United States."[2] Goldberg writes that there was more to fascism than bigotry and genocide and argues that those characteristics were not so much a feature of Italian fascism, but rather of German Nazism which was allegedly forced upon the Italian fascists "after the Nazis had invaded northern Italy and created a puppet government in Salò".[3]

He argues that over time the term fascism has lost its original meaning and has descended to the level of being "a modern word for 'heretic', branding an individual worthy of excommunication from the body politic", noting that in 1946 the democratic socialist and anti-fascist writer George Orwell described the word as no longer having any meaning except to signify "something not desirable
