    How exactly do you define fascism?

      Fascism doesn’t have a static definition, it’s fluid to adapt to current conditions.

      We will never have a complete definition of fascism, because it is in constant motion, showing a new face to fit any particular set of problems that arise to threaten the predominance of the traditionalist, capitalist ruling class. Neo liberalism, post modernism, neo colonialism, libertarian, democratic socialism. It’s all just fascism reforming itself into whatever it needs to be to maintain capitalism, and settler colonialism, and suppress the international proletariat revolution to overthrow Imperialism.

          Those rules applied to those times. That’s only applicable if you are historically and politically illiterate

            I’m inclined to think that Umberto Eco knows what he is talking about better than any present company here.

              I’m betting you don’t know a single thing about him other than that list

                I’ve read Foucault’s Pendulum and I know he lived through fascist Italy.

                  But right now you’re living in fascist America and can’t see the total picture of fascism

                    Implying that you don’t live in America and can see the whole picture? What superior enlightened country do you live in?

                    Edit: No answer here. Of course not.
