shills who think Russia = fascism.

Lol you didn't have to dig this hole at all. You didn't have to. But now you've dug it and you're at the bottom of a deep pit....

It's incredible how strongly some people can deceive themselves.

You look at a corporatist slave labor economy with an unquestionable leader, a stupid symbol, a war of ethnic supremacy and expansion, and you're like, only a shill would call these fascists.

And you didn't need to even bring up the topic at all. But you insisted that 2=3 and now you have to live with it. Now you have to continue existing in a world in which you've just revealed your absolute lack of credibility

I have no idea what country you are talking about. China? Except for the "slave labor economy" and "expansion" parts. Maybe the USA?

  • Corporatist government ✓
  • De facto "slave labour" in the prison-industrial complex ✓
  • Unquestionable leader, eh, that's 50-50. Depends which party you voted for, if you voted for the winning party the leader can do no wrong, if you voted for the other team the leader can do nothing right.
  • Stupid symbols galore ✓
  • Constant wars ✓ 251 wars since 1991
  • Ethnic supremacy ✓
  • Expansion, eh, that's 50-50: constant cultural and economic expansion over the rest of the world ✓but not claiming other land. The American empire wants vassal states, not direct rule.

Yeah, you're definitely talking about the USA.

Wait so are you agreeing that that's a good checklist for determining which country is fascist?

No. Aside from the first item on the list, "Corporatist government", none of those items is specifically fascist. Pretty much any political philosophy can run to any or all of those characteristics.

But for what its worth, I do think that the US is borderline fascist.
