What Is Fascism?
Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is widely considered the father of fascism studies, defined fascism as "a form of political practice distinctive to the 20th century that arouses popular enthusiasm by sophisticated propaganda techniques for an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda."

Also America's fascism inspired Hitler to replicate it in Nazi, Germany.

He loved how Jim Crow was breaking black people's backs.

I keep telling folks the USA were the Nazis before the Nazis ever rose up in Germany. It's crazy how they get to point at the Nazis like they are the bad guys and distract from their heinous crime.

Yep. Hitler got his racial ideas from two Americans, Lothrop Stoddard and Madison Grant.

@DEAD7 look at this list...what country has done all of the above right now at this point in time?


THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.


The rest of the world knows that America is having a fascist collapse...why do people like YOU try to deny it? Cause it bums you and makes you depressed? Cause it's too uncomfortable of a thought to process?

Lots of overlap with communism, theocracy, and state/crony capitalism... I'd say every nation today is fascist by your definition.:yeshrug:

Another @DEAD7ism...why do you give such terrible political systems credence through such apathetic discourse? This is that "bothsiderism" dismissive language.

new zealand doesn't fit the definition.:comeon:
Don't mind him...he's defending the United States' fascist collapse by saying all countries are fascist by those definitions which is a terrible false equivalence with little bearing on reality. Not only that, it's fukking intellectually dishonest!

Then again, the American discourse since Trump has taken power is to avoid the crushing weight of reality simply because it doesn't fit with their ideological viewpoints or fake rosy outlook what this place used to be...which has now changed.

I swear, most Americans still think we're respected as if Barack was still in office and talk that way too...it's like Trump doesn't exist in their minds or they dont' want him to...He does. He's dragged this country so far down the shytter...we might be banned form traveling EVERYWHERE in a couple of months time.

:francis:

I'm gonna start posting articles about America from OUTSIDE of America just to show this forum how far we have fallen.
