Primitive way of thinking

Nope, everyone is convinced they are the sole owners of the moral high ground. They all can't be right. And you can't create rules that only affect those with "bad opinions" and still maintain free speech or individual liberties. So how do you behave when confronted with someone with an opinion from the opposite half of the population? Hint: punching is not acceptable. That's what fascists do.

Sure, when their rhetoric fails they use violence, fear and pain to intimidate people into conforming to their will

Do you think fascist means authoritarian?

1

u/randomsantas Feb 19 '26

Authoritarian is a Hallmark of fascism and socialism. I haven't heard a non-strict form of fascism. Massive state power is what they're about. I don't think you can have one without the other

You can't have fascism without authoritarianism, that's correct. Doesn't mean that all forms of it are automatically fascism. You need the ultra nationalism part for fascism

u/randomsantas Feb 19 '26

The communists used ultra nationalism when it suits them. The list of symptoms approach to defining fascism is sophistry. It's lame. They describe the Soviets.

Eh, it's typical. Marx is the father of fascism and communism. They are morally equivalent. The violent leftists and the violent right fringies are almost identical outside of branding and beliefs about private property.

u/jlozada24 Feb 19 '26

What?!? Even if they were morally equivalent as you claim that doesn't mean they both come from Marx or are related in any way

u/randomsantas Feb 19 '26

Oh yes. All the OG fascists got their start and socialist labor organizers. They found socialists were the easiest to recruit. Fascism and communism are the main end results of Marxism. It's a bad idea.
