    Supporting either is a support of fascism

    Fascism - a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology that emerged in early 20th-century Europe, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests to the state. It promotes national rebirth, militarism, and often racial superiority.

    Can you explain to me how you think the Democrat party is fascist? Because in this definition of fascism, the only one I can stretch to make work is “militarism”, but then A LOT of countries would be falling under the fascist label.

    Republicans, on the other hand, check all of these boxes.

    The Democrat party is flawed and weak. They are not fascist. Learn to use words properly based on their definitions.

      One is fascism. The other enables fascism through systemic means. Thus, support for either is supporting fascism.

      Go read theory. You’ll learn a thing or two. Malatesta has good works on this subject.

        The other enables fascism through systemic means.

        Can you, using the defnition of fascism, describe how Democrats enable fascism?

          Can you go read theory to gain an understanding of complex systemic forces? I’m not going to sit here and explain textbooks worth of information about the inner workings of political systems to you.
