there are no modern fascists anyway

its just a false label

My guess is because we're taught in school how Nazis were the most evil people ever and that they were far right extremists (even though Hitler said himself they were socialists), so crying fascist evokes the idea of Nazis, but we're never taught of the atrocities and failing of communism other than the Berlin Wall fell in the '89.  Our school system is generally so filled with left-side thinking and ideologies, that they try to wipe away all the times they've failed in history.  It's similar to how people hear the word 'conservative' and shudder.

To be fair to the Soviets and Chinese, a lot of the deaths that occurred under their rule resulted from incompetence rather than homicidal or genocidal intent. And the numbers are very likely exaggerated.

Stalin was bad, plain and simple. Mao was worse though. What was the number? Close to 100 Million I think. Yeah, fuck him.

They're saying Trump is acting fascist because he's trying to get all media suppressing happy, saying they should trust him and not the "opposition party", along with a bunch of other crap.

I wouldn't conflate flippant remarks with a media-suppression agenda, mostly because you'd be overestimating his competence.

Because facism is stupid. I'm all for strong people ruling, but weak people are usually only weak in certain ways for certain reasons. An antisocial autist might be considered weak, but someone like that is most likely good with computers. Think about that, what could being good with computers do? A shit ton. That's a great strength right there, but because you're a facist who excludes the weak you're missing out on that resource.

At least this has been the case in the past since there hasn't really been an openly well-established facistic rule. When you think about it, the strong do rule. That's how they got to the top, but facism doesn't really make sense. "The strong should rule" isn't what facism is about, it's "people with attractive strengths should be highly regarded", but that's already what's happening.

There's no need for facism in politics, because it's something we have inside of us. People who we don't find attractive should disappear, and people who are attractive are put on a pedestal, but because of how impractical that idea is, we ignore it. When someone doesn't see how impractical it is, and acts that way, we mock them and call them a simple-minded facist. That simple-minded facist has its place in situations where the unattractive needs to be punished. Normally beating someone up because you consider them a flaw to society is seen as a bad thing, but when you beat up someone really vile, you might find people cheering you on- at least in the youtube comment section.

oh FUCK we've been joked

Do you guys consider Trump fascist?

He would be if the political system of the country he ran allowed him to be.

As such he can only try to be a fascist, but that's still pretty shitty for the next four years

Is this a joke? Carter is widely considered to be one of the worst presidents ever.

maybe "widely" by retard standards

asking someone whether or not they like Carter is a good test for if they're a moron
