Here is my crazy take that is 100% accurate but you aren’t going to accept. Fascism was a hyper specific ideology. The name literally refers to absolute adherence to all, some being very obscure, tenets. All the parts form a fasct. You don’t have fascism if you don’t have all the parts. That’s the point.
No one believes 100% of all the tenets of original fascism, and doing so is the actual definition of a fascist.
So I don’t care about your feelings or general vibe of different political groups. I’m an autist. I care about technical definitions. They aren’t fascist. They are bad, because they are zionists and authoritarians. Hitler was also bad because he as a zionist and an authoritarian. But the AfD is not national socialist nor fascist. Bad people can actually be their own thing believe it or not.
I know that breaks left solidarity in using ill-defined pejoratives. But I don’t care about that. I care about what words actually mean.
