The real problem with Fascists. Fascism is inefficient economically. It just doesnt promote...

I disagree.

Fascism isn't necessarily tied to an economic philosophy, like other political ideologies are.

German Nazis embraced Keynesianism and they were heavily interventionist in the economy.. They were not inefficient either. In fact, they performed administrative a bureaucratic miracles to keep the army supplied with just enough resources. From a military and economic perspective, Germany punched above it's weight in WW2.

Where you do have a point is in the short-termism. The ultra-nativism was coupled with a desire for aggressive military expansionism. That led to it's downfall.

Project 2025 is authoritarian and it's also capitalist. There is almost no trace of Keynesianism anywhere in the movement. They are relative isolationists in foreign policy.

A much better comparison is Viktor Orban's Hungary. That is bad enough.

Yes, it sounds wonderful, doesn't it:

"A political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

Well, Mussolini supposedly did make the trains run on time, so I guess it was all worth it?

Uh, you have no idea what you're talking about.
First, HERE is the definition of Fascism, (since you obviously have no idea.)

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Fascists are DEMOCRATS. Pretty much everything the DemoNazi part does today is almost a carbon copy of Nazi Germany.
Same ideology. Same tactics.

If you are in line at the seventh voting polls on Election Day and you see another at his seventh, THAT is the Fascist you should say hit to. You to VOTE for Fascism every time you vote blue, numbnuts.

@Burnley123 I absolutely agree. Facism is about which group of people profit and control things and who else has any rights at all. Those the government favours can have absolute power..If the law doesnt support them, the law is amended or ignored..😷

The USA isn't socialist. That's a problem, because it's everyone's right to live in a peaceful, social democracy.
They're going to have to come around and rethink that "we're not communists ' thing or we won't survive them.
