I agree. Fascist countries like Denmark, Germany and Canada often get called “socialist” and they have been disastrous for the reputation of socialism.
Nothing more ‘socialist’ than supporting the current world order but with some welfare
Fascism.
Fidel Castro is morally superior to every US president.
A very low bar that Fidel soars over without even getting close. Even Gaddafi and Assad are better than every US President lmao
No shot on that.
*authoritarian, not fascist. There is a difference.
Ah yes, the tyranny of small differences. Let us tear each other apart over this trifling distinction.
Fact; fascism falls under the larger umbrella of authoritarianism.
The problem is that people throw around “fascism” like my 70 year old mom uses the word “communism.” She couldn’t even define the actual meaning of communism let alone her use of the word.
In the common internet usage fascism just means “anything authoritarian and to the right of where I stand.” It also has the issue of making people think that the problem is with left versus right politics when authoritarianism can and has existed everywhere in the political spectrum in history.
Tankies forget that Trotsky existed.
Tankies forget that anything that isn’t stalinism is also considered socialist
