| > Fascism is not a branch of socialism You should read more about this, the creator of the fascist doctrine stated plainly that fascism was socialism with nationalist characteristics.[0] Socialism and fascism share many similarities, given that they developed in the same context with the same roots : youth movements, focus on controlling education, citizen's health seen as a responsibility of the State, strong management of the economy, and so on. Both tend to classify political ennemies as a single group ("communists" in the case of fascists, "fascists" in the case of socialists), without distinction, just like what you are doing. The fact that Black Shirts (which don't have a Trumpian equivalent) didn't like the other socialists doesn't make fascism less socialist, just like the soviet campaign against Trotskists doesn't mean that the USSR was less communist. > we're just using the word appropriately Rubio just admitted that the US participated in the strikes against Iran to please Israel. There is nothing fascist about this, and again plutocracy is a much more efficient explanation for the current regime actions. Saying that something isn't fascist doesn't make me a fascist. "If you are not with me, you're against me" type of thinking... where did I see this historically? [0] https://fee.org/articles/theres-no-denying-the-socialist-roo... |
