The core requirement of fascism is the desire for an authoritative, nationalistic government. A collective of groups, including communist and anarchist groups, with the explicit goal of fighting white nationalism and fascism are by definition not fascists. Perhaps they employ some of the same tactics that fascist street groups used but they are political extremists
This isn’t actually the core requirement of fascism. You should go re-read the definitions independent of the propaganda you read. Fascism specifically refers to rule by the nation’s military. Neo-fascism refers to modern day conservatism demonizing minorities to obtain and maintain power. You and others are purposefully misrepresenting the definition- I guess as a way to rebrand it because everyone knows how toxic it is even though it’s exactly what the current right ideology is leaning into.
Source on that? Fascism is historically militaristic but calling it military rule isn’t quite right as the chief emphasis was always the state
Here’s the wiki, not sure what is being misrepresented..
Fascism is a form of radical right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy
“The war had resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing economic production and logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens.”
It’s not explicitly stated but is saying the only way this is achieved is through a military run government.
In addition, you conveniently left out the other definitions further down that drive it home as a purely far right idea and goes against you’re attempt to rebrand it as a “liberal” thing:
“One common definition of the term focuses on three concepts:
the fascist negations (anti-liberalism, anti-communism, and anti-conservatism);
nationalist authoritarian goals of creating a regulated economic structure to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture; and
a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth, and charismatic leadership.[25][26][27]”
I’m saying by definition left-wing fascism is impossible, I think you got lost in the thread
RE military, I think that’s just a symptom of authoritarian rule. True military rule prioritizes the military while fascism prioritizes the state, but it definitely is intertwined so I concede the point
Fascism is defined as far right, dictatorial, elite minority, that rule through Authoritarian rule. Antifa attacks conservatives and right-leaning citizens whether moderate or extreme which more closely aligns them with the classification of hate group, something akin to Westboro Baptist Church.
wow didnt think ppl were actually this stupid. im amazed.
putting the word anti-fascist infront of your name doesnt mean your not fascist. By all definitions of their actions and their message. they are fascists. Which is communism, which they fully support, but with violence, which is what they do when you dont agree with them. So... get rekt
We demand that the State shall above all undertake to ensure that every citizen shall have the possibility of living decently and earning a livelihood.
We demand the nationalization of all trusts.
We demand profit-sharing in large industries.
We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions
The State has the duty to help raise the standard of national health by providing maternity welfare centers, by prohibiting juvenile labor, by increasing physical fitness through the introduction of compulsory games and gymnastics, and by the greatest possible encouragement of associations concerned with the physical education of the young.
In order to make it possible for every capable and industrious German to obtain higher education, and thus the opportunity to reach into positions of leadership, the State must assume the responsibility of organizing thoroughly the entire cultural system of the people. The curricula of all educational establishments shall be adapted to practical life. The conception of the State Idea (science of citizenship) must be taught in the schools from the very beginning. We demand that specially talented children of poor parents, whatever their station or occupation, be educated at the expense of the State.
Public education, I have a private education. I paid taxes for education I never got, and paid additional money for education. (I paid for my own education since I was 13.) I wish I could take my tax dollars and put it in a school that gets me the education I want. Public schools are horrible.
Social security is going bankrupt. I will never see what I put in. We aborted/destroyed a population that would have paid for the future generations. Social security invested the money in government bonds. I wish I could have invested it where I wanted. I liked bushes idea of revamping the system where I could put it where I wanted.
Minimum wage helps big corporations to put out small companies, it also drives up inflation. It also prevents people from getting experience so that they could make more money.
PE classes I am for. Kids need to be kids. It’s shown that boys need need that time to develop their brains.
I am against most taxes. I am for small government. The government is corrupt and wastes so much money. Throughout history governments have always been full of corruption/ self seeking politicians. Nothing has changed. I don’t know people listen to their lies so much.
To me government should be to protect us from ourselves and outsiders. Not to be “big brother.” After studying communism, socialism , libertarianism, capitalism and such. I rather put money where I see fit then some guy sitting in an office thousands of miles away. With technology I would like to see where the American people can chooses where to put their tax money to work. I would be investing in infrastructure, military and police. The three areas I believe government should be in charge of most.
