Fascists trash helping fascist trash. Then uneducated children go around and call China communist or socialist? Fucking morons...
This comment reads like someone who got an American education, and then learned about politics from Wikipedia, lol. What is the definition of fascism, socialism and communism?
I think "fascism" describes modern Russia quite well:
Putin is essentially a dictator who keeps giving himself more time in office. Russians can't elect another leader because Russian "elections" are rigged. And in Russia you will be punished if you vocally disagree with the government: protestors who have voiced opposition to the invasion of Ukraine have been arrested, and in some cases imprisoned for long periods of time. And then there's the fact that Alexei Navalny, an opposition politician who disagreed with the Russian government, was poisoned by the Russian government twice: once in 2020, and again in 2024.
That definition is a little light, I prefer this one: Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
Not bad, but why not straight from the source.
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power - Mussolini
I'm also a big fan of the way Umberto Eco describes fascism.
That is a pretty good list of descriptors. I think the defining feature of modern fascism is it uses whatever rhetoric it can to gain and keep power. I believe the primary way to measure is wealth distribution. If you see an ever increasing wealth gap it should be raising immediate alarm bells.
Yes, also important to consider that modern fascists are aware of the history of fascism, and try to create space between their ideology and the failures of the 30s and 40s.
Username: lie
User: troll
The username is ironic, definitely not trolling though.
This account looks like itβs a Russian bot, looking from its history of comments. I banned and recommended it to others.
Russia is a shit hole with a dictator. Death to Putin. Hope this helps confuse your small liberal brain!
Anybody wanna give me the definition of these big words, or just more down votes?
No, look them up. Wikipedia is a good start I hear.
You get your definitions from Wikipedia, lmfao?
Not, you know.. A dictionary??
Good reading comprehension.
I disagree, this is like talking to a fucking trump supporter. Explain how China fits the label of fascist, based on the definition.
What definition
Define fascism, socialism and communism. Did you not fucking read this comment thread?
What is with all of the anger conservatives have against liberals? My own theory is the anger comes from sexual repression. We all know conservative girls don't fuck, and when they do it's with their husbands in missionary position with the lights turned off.
So conservative men either aren't getting it or go and get their bit of strange from grindr.
Which type of conservative are you?
They're not a conservative
How do you know and do you always speak for them? A quick look at their comments and they seem to be obsessed with liberals, this suggests a more conservative mindset. If you have any further glimpses into the psyche of this angry commenter I would be interested to hear them.
Do you know what a liberal is?
Yes, it has several meanings depending on the context. Used in the derogatory manner the other commenter used it in is nowadays typically reserved for American political discourse referring to social liberals. It can be used in the economic sense too but in general discourse this would not be the common modern interpretation of calling someone a liberal, Adam Smith has not been around for 100s of years now and terms change.
You appear to understand what the word means but you don't understand how the word is used. I am sure you are not a native English speaker or do not speak the language at a high level.
You are a liberal, as are the Conservatives in America. You are both center right to far right on the global political spectrum and your idealogies are bloodthirsty and imperialist.
Hope this clears things up.
LOL
I'm a socialist you moron, lol.
You are not a socialist, I can see your comment history genius. All I can see is Russian bootlicking, Russia is the furthest thing possible from a socialist state. You can call yourself a tankie if you like, big difference but a more fitting label for your sort.
I wouldn't say they are the furthest it gets, since they have some things like free healthcare and education, some social benefits, and maybe even more that can be considered socialistic elements. They still do fit pretty bad into what socialism should be
Political affiliation has nothing to do with what countries you offer critical support to, lmao. Healthcare, housing, and food are human rights. The workers should own the means of production, and any company that gets large enough should be nationalized. There should be strict guards on the accumulation of capital.
From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
Fuck Russia and fuck Putin. Know who's worse? Literal Nazis in Ukraine lol. Do you like Nazis?
As someone with family and heritage from Myanmar: China is 100% absolutely a capitalistic fascist state.
This is wrong. And borderline removed.
Look up rubber cultivation in Myanmar and jade mines and get back to me. Hell, look up the ongoing civil war that's happening there and ask yourself who's behind the military government killing the people fighting for liberation. Britain, America, Russia, China... It's all the same old song, just maybe with a faster tempo this time.
