Re: Rant Thread

again, what do you think fascism is

do you think fascism is just, like, authoritarianism and entrenched elites? because that's not what fascism is

Why don't you tell me what you think fascism is?

Because I'm reading the Wiki entry, and I see nothing to indicate that America is at risk of becoming a fascist state. At least not from the right.

Fascism is a political ideology and a descriptor of political movements. It's not a form of government in the way that democracy is, although fascist states often become dictatorships.

And to me, fascism as an ideology is basically a populist conservative ideology that's marked by its violence, its concern with a mythologized golden national being and a mythologized national past, its general irrationalism / conspiratorialism / opposition to reason and tolerance, and the way that it generally places much less emphasis on consistency and theoretical coherence and much more on a drastic immediacy. And that's the reason that I think it's justifiable to call Trump's movement a fascist movement.

To be clear, I don't think he's a Nazi and I'm not comparing him to Hitler. But when you look at the characteristics of his campaign, I think that those things - the violence and the irrationalism especially - I think they're unquestionably present. I mean, look, his campaign manager got charged with battery for hitting a reporter today, and there's video evidence, and his response is just to repeat over and over that it didn't happen. That's the kind of thing that I'm talking about as something that belongs firmly in the tradition of fascist politics.

There's nothing in that ideology that's intrinsically anti-democratic! Anti-liberal, yes, avowedly, not particularly pro-liberal democracy, but there's nothing that precludes a fascist movement from participating in democratic elections. I mean, like, it's hackneyed to point out that Hitler came to power in a democratic election, but that doesn't make it untrue.
