They are communist, not fascist. End of discussion.

Fascism is biggest evil despite communists being 100x more murderous and vile.

"Antifa are the real fascists" is the new "Democrats are real racists". Just quit.

Guess Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao and Lenin were also fascists...

    First off no government can be called revolutionary. That makes no sense. Revolutions are the radical changing of power. You can't just attach a word like that because it sounds cool.

    Second, nationalism is a rally cry and an identity. It says nothing of governance. Most communists recognize that you can't have communism and open borders. There has never been a communist country with open borders. Instead most have to have a strict ban on anyone even leaving, just to keep the slave workers from fleeing. Communists have stricter border controls than anyone, including "fascist" italy.

    attempts to merge marxist economics with traditionalist social politics.

    So like I said, it is just another marxist scam just like communism except with different propaganda.

    Shutting down free speech with violence is not fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

      Oh, that overly simplified joke where it's impossible to be placed into one of the quadarants? Yeah sure.

      Fascism lets speech be free, provided you don't attempt to undermine the people, the morals, the values, the policies, etc. that define the nation.

      In other words, Fascism is free speech, absent the communist subversion. What do you want? Freedom or communism?

      provided you don't attempt to undermine

      Subjective call made but assholes of the ruling class. Fuck that.

      Sometimes things need to be undermined. Fuck consumer culture. Fuck authoritarianism. Fuck over-regulation.

      Freedom is freedom, including the freedom to reject the status quo.

      IFIFY:
      Shutting down free speech in any way is not fighting fascism or communism. It IS totalitarianism!

      I prefer my totalitarianism with hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon.
