Couldn't agree more. See I'm hated by the right and persecuted by the left. Everybody hates piggy in the middle.

A fascist is the textbook definition of facist not whatever you make up. Just sayin.

A) "To the right" of Marx is hardly indicative, as Marx is considered almost extreme left. Hillary Clinton is far to the right of Marx. It would be more accurate to say "opposite of Marx," and you'd still be missing the actual mark.

B) For the definition of "Fascist," see Mussolini's comments and writings on how it is defined. After all, he was one of the primary authors on the concept. Quit bandying it around like some "stupid stick" to hit people with that don't support some political ideal.

The US has an extreme problem with Nationalism at the moment. Just looking at the news pretty much puts a lot of Europe in the same boat, too, even if the rhetoric isn't so strong.

I won't speak to other Democratic nations, but the parties in the US seem to want it as "our party only" in rule. From what I read of politics in certain other nations, it isn't much different in some cases, but not necessarily all. Big difference is most of the US wouldn't give up democracy for anything... at least not knowingly, anyway. (Won't say enough people couldn't be fooled into giving it up... just look at how many people are deniers of various historical facts or established science.)

Best line in that article:

Wikipedia/Fascism wrote:Fascist propaganda blamed the problems of the long depression of the 1930s on minorities and scapegoats: “Judeo-Masonic-bolshevik” conspiracies, left-wing internationalism and the presence of immigrants.


Sounds pretty damn familiar to me right now.

The peaceful revolution is at the primaries. And the parties are trying to make that venue impossible via rigging.

You don’t think Trump was a sort of peaceful revolt against political correctness and people being offended by everything? That’s how I viewed people voting for him at least.

If he was actually going to change anything they'd never let him win. He wasn't theoir preferred choice, but he's kind of an idiot so he's easy enough to manipulate, so might as well give the people an illusion of possibility of peaceful revolt.
