    Oh that’s fine. It’s a three party corporatocracy in England. Plus the corporatocracies in other parts of Britain.

    But they know what fascism is and they know that what Harris’ supporters wanted wasn’t fascism. So I’m happy to be going there.

      I’m a progressive that is against fascism and genocide, but the number of Democrats that censored me and called me a fascist has me convinced that many of them are perfectly content with fascism as long as it is their fascism.

        What, exactly, is “their fascism?”

        “Censoring” you on a non-government website has nothing to do with fascism.

          Censoring people, especially when they’re telling the truth, so you can control the narrative through gaslighting and lies is pretty fascist in my book.

              You don’t know me. There are many elements of fascism. Several things in that link you just posted describe the Democrat party.

                True. I don’t know you. However, I do know you didn’t live through Mussolini’s Italy unless you are an extremely old man.

                Umberto Eco did. He experienced fascism directly. You’re now acting like you know about it better than he did. That’s quite silly.

                  Are you an extremely old man? Who are you to pretend to know it better than anyone else? Texts help people understand the times, but don’t encapsulate the experience or the nuances involved. I’m referring to what America, myself included, is going through now. Democrats didn’t have to lose this election. Their choices are why they lost. And I stand by what I said, many of the characteristics of fasicsm in the link you posted sound an awful-lot like the Democratic party, admittedly not as radical as those of the Republicans.

                    Well I must admit I’ve never met someone who is arrogant enough to claim they know more about fascism than someone who lived through Mussolini’s regime. I suppose you also know more about the Holocaust than a survivor of Auschwitz.
