Apparently it is difficult to define. Lefties throw that word around - alot - but what is it, and more importantly who are they? One common element is gun grabbing by the fascists since they oppose liberty. Fascism, as it took shape in Europe between the world wars, was bound up with a unique phenomenon that has had no real equivalent in American society: a regimented mass movement, with a uniformed paramilitary arm, committed to the radical remaking of society as a whole.... But Trump not only lacks a mass movement at his command; he has made no attempt to create one.
As explained in Liberal Fascism, before World War II, "fascism was widely viewed as a progressive social movement with many liberal and left-wing adherents in Europe and the United States," but the Holocaust changed their view, and "[a]ccordingly, leftist intellectuals redefined fascism as 'right-wing[.]'" The phrase "liberal fascism" was coined by none other than socialist H.G. Wells.
No attempt to precisely define fascism will be made here. But classical liberalism or conservatism it is not. Fascism at its core, like socialism, communism, and progressivism, is statist. It is opposed to liberty. Read more: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/10/crying_fascist.html#ixzz6ZkI7xQsr Follow us: @AmericanThinker on Twitter | AmericanThinker on Facebook

you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Fascism is tool to advance an ideology. It does not belong to any particular ideology in itself.
What from Christ that soul can sever, Bound by everlasting bands? None shall take thee From the Strength of Israel's hands.

Fascism - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FascismFascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, as well as strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. I believe this definition is still evolving. Garryowen

A lot of us here would agree that the left accuses the right of the very things they themselves are guilty of. Add this to the list. x100

Their Right is is literally national socialism. The left is international socialism.

The world would be a much different place today if Hitler had succeeded.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You guys did help early on with supplies,but were pretty late to the fighting compared to Canada same as ww1. Took a while to get your courage up I guess,lol.

Facism does not have a free market. It's state sponsored at best.
And there is no democracy in socialism. Both are incompatible. Democracy is by definition tyranny.
