| > you don't think of Tommy Robinson as fascist? that's surprising to me. I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of the British public don't think he is either. Which is why I am asking how he is one. > Ok, so I've grabbed a random definition of fascism[0] (first thing that came up googling). Yeah that is the same definition I was using. > now, let's think about tommy robinson and the EDL.
> * exalts nation and often race above the individual - check. Sure I agree. > * wants a centralised autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader - check. Where did this come from? I don't think that article said anything about this. > * by forcible suppression of opposition - I mean... it's the EDL, big check. I don't know much about the EDL & what they have done so I couldn't comment on this. |
