      Which is exactly why it’s relevant today.

      Fascists don’t magically stop being fascists just because you happen to hate the same people they do.

          Right, but in the case of the current US and the current administration, the term is accurate.

          Fascism is a far-right (check) political ideology characterized by authoritarianism (check), extreme nationalism (check), and the suppression of opposition (check), often led by a dictatorial leader (check). It emphasizes the subordination of individual interests to the perceived good of the nation or race (check) and typically involves a centralized autocratic government (check).

          Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.

        It’s scary how many signs there are in this current administration. And they’re not even hiding it.

      Did you not see Musk do a fucking Sieg Heil on live TV last week and go on tour to shake hands with his fellow NeoNazis in Germany??

      Have you missed the part where Trump said he fully planned on being a dictator? How about the 900-page manual where his lackeys described in detail how to do it?
