    They are not liberals. Google the word 'liberal' and compare that definition to the word 'fascist' and start using the right word to describe them. Continuing to call them liberals is playing into their theft of that word. Do you not get how Orwellian it sounds to call a fascist a liberal?

    Here is what Google says about fascism.

    Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy

    Totalitarian governments always seem to be on the left and call themselves socialists with a few other words tossed in.

    Authoritarian - The far left wants to confiscate guns, restrict free speech, scale back constitutional rights.
    Ultranationalism - The far left wants to stay in Syria, topple Assad and continue the never ending wars in the Middle East. It doesn't get any more ultra nationalist than to militarily intervene in the domestic affairs of another sovereign nation for no good reason.
    Dictatorial Power - The far left craves this more than anything else. So much so that they used government institutions to try to stage a coup against an elected President. They are still trying.
    Forcible Suppression of Opposition - The far left utilizes the Antifa blackshirt fascists to violently attack anyone who opposes their agenda.
    Strong Regimentation of Society and the Economy - The far left seeks to divide and regiment society into opposing groups based on race, gender, wealth and other categories. The far left wants a Soviet style economy managed by their own intelligentsia.

    Conclusion: The far left movement in this country is fascist in nature.

    I posted that definition because OBK said Google it. It was the first thing that popped up when I Googled it. The effort to rebrand Fascism as a product of the left is fucking retarded. It also doesn't really belong to the right either. It was its own thing.

    I'm not a fan of the idea that Socialsm and Fascism are the two extremes of the left vs right political spectrum. There is too much overlap for them to be diametrically opposed. Same goes for the economics of Fascism vs Socialism which is what the Sowell quote is getting at.

    Your ultranationalism argument is weak. The left is generally accused of hating America and it's ideals. You can't be an ultranationalist and an American apologist at the same time. You'll have a point when the left starts flying American flags off the back of their trucks while bumping country music Americana propaganda.

    If the left wants a Socialst style planned economy than that is also not consistent with Fascism. The Fascist economy still had a role for private Enterprise and individual property rights.

    The far left has more in common with Lennin and Stalin style Socialsim/Marxism than it does with Fascism.

    There were far right dictatorships big time in South America. Any case in which one guy has all the power is autocracy. The Founders didn't distinguish left/right tyranny. They just realized it is a constant danger.

    Another lie. We all love free markets but if you knew what the fuck you were talking about you would realize that China is not a free market to us. Most South American countries don't have free markets for the USA, same with Europe. Marry that lack of free market to the fact that we have a trade deficit due to that lack of free market and slave labor practices and you can see why a correction is needed.

    Why do you continue to try to dumb down your fellow lefties with these lies?
