      God you’re such a fucking loser, you’re replying with the most ancient meme to someone actually engaging you in good faith.

        A fascist is someone who believes in dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, strong regimentation of society and the economy, This often involves the centralization of authority under a single leader or party, the suppression of dissenting voices, and the promotion of aggressive and expansionist policies under a nationalistic ideology.

        Now write that down, all of you!

          Lol “write it down”. Gotta love the smugness of clueless libs. You ignored the most important aspect of it all - the material interests that fuel all of it. Fascism, to put it short, is capitalism in crisis. It is when the liberal facade breaks and the ruling class - the capitalists - feel threatened, they find a strongman and put him in power. Then you see a true face of capitalism - a fascist one, where the state crushes workers’ rights, coerces everyone into wage slavery and extracts superprofits for the bourgeoisie. Your definition is plainly shallow because it does not address the material roots of the ideology.

          … forcible suppression of opposition. Got it.

          So what is the Biden regime’s position on the campus protests against the genocide? Oh, he’s forcibly suppressing them, and he did the same for the movement to defund the police. Well, there you have it. Even by your definition, he is a fascist. You are supporting a fascist. Write that down, if you even care about that more than you care about being smug.

          If you’re interested in learning I could give you some links/literature (have you ever read communist political theory?). What you’ve just said is basically an Eli5 for nazi children. Absolute dumbassery
