    The headline speaks volumes.

    And I’m not a liberal, I’m a leftist.


    Agree. You support the fascism that binds your ilk to tech oligarchs and "mainstream" media hell bent on perpetual power.

    Seems fascism originated in Italy in 1872 or so - and is related to unions. Unions are definitely your typical right wing organization.

    I actually think there is very little difference between the far left and far right - they both want to do the same thing but have different explanations for those results. For instance at one time - pornography - the left says it is defaming women and the right says it is breaking the family apart. Both could be right, but both want it banned, but won't agree to banning it.

    From at least 1872, the word fascio was used in Italian in the names of labor and agrarian unions. Fascio (the plural of which is fasci), which has a literal meaning of “bundle” and a figurative meaning of “group,” harkens back to an earlier—and grander—time in the peninsula’s history: in ancient Rome, there were officers, called lictors, who accompanied the chief magistrates in public appearances, clearing the way for them and summoning and punishing offenders as the magistrate saw fit. A lictor would also carry the fasces for his magistrate. The fasces, called in Italian “fascio littorio,” was a long bundle of elm or birch rods with an ax head projecting from it, all tied up with a red strap. According to our friends at Encyclopedia Britannica, when the fasces were carried inside Rome, the ax was generally removed as a symbol of the right of a Roman citizen to appeal a magistrate’s ruling. Our colleagues mention two exceptions to this practice: the ax was kept in on the happy occasion of a general celebrating a triumph, as well as in the less happy circumstance of a magistrate also being a dictator.

    Seems super relevant to how the word is used today.

    the dictators from the right are identical to the dictators from the left - both are fascists you dumbshit

    the only ones who do not suffer are those from the ruling party - and high up in that party.

    Democracy as a form of government is unstable. Mob rule leads to a union with oligarchs, which is basically where the modern "democrat" party is today. By definition and their own actions they are fascists. Our interloping useful idiot just lacks self awareness.

    I think you are confusing fascism with authoritarianism. Fascism is a very specific brand of authoritarianism. Highlighted by its ultranationalism, which is why it’s really funny that you guys keep calling the people that you say hate America “fascists”.

    I would agree that authoritarianism from either side is bad, yes.
