    That’s not the definition of the term, by any ones analysis. The simplest, original definition is that fascism is state and corporate power combined. Like the US has been for half a century.

      Didn’t the state own all the corporations in the USSR? How would that not be state and corporate power combined?

        Not really, you’re the one that is just taking all 1.67 inches of capitalist dick while trying to redefine fascism away from Mussolini’s definition so you can protect the status quo you have been sold as ‘not perfect but the best we’ve come up with’.

        Capitalism and liberalism have always lead to fascism. They are the only ideologies to ever develop into fascism. Socialism and communism, maybe even anarchism are the only future humanity has. Humanity can’t coexist with capitalists long term.

            And if you knew anything about socialism you’d support the cpc. Maybe not the ussr but we’ve learned from their failures.

            China is a fully socialist state. If you think otherwise you either stopped paying attention to socialism in the mid 1800s, or you don’t know enough about China.

              I think when most people fantasize about socialism they are thinking of Nordic style and not authoritarian CCP style.

              My litmus test is the ability to openly criticize your government. In an open and free society this is allowed.

              Any authoritarian society, regardless of economic system, is not in the right track. In my opinion. Then again I only consume western media so maybe the CCP isn’t that bad. Can you tell me what happened on June 4th, 1989?

                I wanted to make a joke reply and list a bunch of other unrelated things that happened on that day… But of course I find nothing but that one thing…
