I don't listen to the far right or the far left, both are wrong
@Subsumedpat who is speaking from the ",far left" that you ignore?

@BohoBabe People always overexaggerate the other side of where they are.

@Subsumedpat Some do, but that doesn't negate the fact that in modern America, the right-wing establishment is fascist.

@BohoBabe Not really, they have a few of the trappings but not really fascist.

@Subsumedpat What would the Republicans have to do to be considered fascist for you?
@Subsumedpat so, no, you don't have any far left examples. There aren't any.

@Roundandroundwego There are plenty I am just not your google
@Subsumedpat they're fresh out, too.

@BohoBabe Simple, authoritarian, ultranationalist, racists, dictatorship, militarism, suppression of opposition to include systematically eliminating political rivals, free speech, and an independent media.
@Subsumedpat so Israel/USA.
Politics threatens the war. You should stick to your story!

@Subsumedpat Who is the far left?

@Subsumedpat The Republicans have done literally all of that.

The one thing they didn't go hardcore on was free speech, we still have that in America. However, they have arrested people for peacefully protesting Israel, and they have used the power of the government to deplatform dissenting voices, like Stephen Colbert and NPR.

Totalitarianism is part of Fascism, but the Fascists aren't always able to succeed in creating a totalitarian society. The Fascists failed to carry out Totalitarianism in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Austria. They only succeeded in Germany, Japan, and Russia. However, just because they didn't succeed in Italy and Spain, doesn't mean Mussolini and Franco weren't fascist. It might be the same thing with MAGA. The Republicans might fail to totally transform America like the Nazis did to Germany. But the Republicans are still fascist in that they are trying to do everything you listed.

@BohoBabe You can believe that if you want but know you are literally and historically incorrect. We still have a democratically elected President and Congress and quite an opposition.
BohoBabe · M
@Subsumedpat First, democratically elected doesn't mean they aren't fascist. You can democratically elect a fascist government.
Secondly, SCOTUS has declared that Trump can break the law while he's president. This means that if Congress blocks the Republicans from doing something, they can do it anyway, then just appeal to the SCOTUS. Republicans are in the process of making Congress useless. No, it hasn't happened yet, but that's what they're working towards, which makes them fascist or at least authoritarian.
When Germany stopped having real elections, they still had a congress. It was years later that the Nazis disbanded their congress. Basically, this stuff doesn't happen overnight. Republicans are in the process of ending Congress and democratic elections.

@BohoBabe When we quit having elections and trump is dictator for life tell me about it till then you are Chicken Little. Democrats dominated congress for 40 years and we did not fall apart.
@Subsumedpat ww didn't make progress, either, and we supported the genocide in Palestine the whole time. The not sees are everyone, usually. They're not sees together, bipartisanly.
BohoBabe · M
@Subsumedpat That's like saying Mussolini wasn't fascist because he wasn't dictator for life, he was removed from power before he died.

Trump isn't a dictator. My point is that the Republicans are trying to make him a dictator, or at least the face of an oligarchy like Imperialist Japan. That's one of the many things that makes the party fascist, it's the fact that they're trying to eliminate democracy.
@BohoBabe the ownership is dictator. Y'all are all good with that. What you hate is us commies.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@BohoBabe Maybe you should read the rise and fall of the Third Reich, maybe you would understand the difference in Hitler and Fascism and Trump and the Maga people.
BohoBabe · M
@Subsumedpat I actually have read that book.

Nazism and MAGA are both anti-democracy, totalitarian, socially conservative, and use the classic "strongman" propaganda. Same goes for the fascist movements in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Japan, Austria, and Brazil.
So again, what else does MAGA have to do before it can be considered fascist? Does it not count as fascist until America has a president for life with no elections?
@BohoBabe fascists use democracy and neolliberal economics to bring endless wars and austerity. Yum; bipartisan fascism. and the Dems have identical outcomes! So it's all okay. Fascism is moderate, too!
@BohoBabe Ah ERB. Little known fact- Hitler was dope on the mic 😆

@BritishFailedAesthetic The Hitler vs Vader ones are actually some of the worst, but that gif is fire.
