That's why I'm glad - and proud - to live in a country that guarantees the right to free speech. Oh, they're trying in the U.S. to crush all criticism of crazy left-wing ideology, but the government can't participate in that. It's restricted to mass (shrinking) media and government-run education - so I guess gov't DOES participate in the nonsense - which is bad enough, but we still don't see people being thrown in jail for their opinion, as they do in Europe (and just about everywhere else).
In the push to fight fascism in the 1940s, most of Europe went pretty fascist. They put lipstick on the pig with the label "Democratic Socialism," but it's all about government running everything. Like they had to bring down Hitler and Mussolini so they could incorporate many of their principles into their own nation states. Government-run health care? Prime feature of fascism. Government control of industry? Fascist. (And government "control" just means crony capitalism, with big businesses controlling the rule sets by controlling a small number of people in government.
We do the same thing - just not to as ridiculous a degree - in the USA. We stick it to the poor and the middle class on a daily basis by "going after" the robber barons, who've controlled the major agencies created to regulate them since the very beginning, with a revolving door between said industries and the agencies overseeing them. It's undeniably fascist, when you look at the relationships between defense contractors and government.
That's why Antifa is such a joke, here. People who support virtually every tenet of fascism, right down to their street tactics, in the name of opposing fascism.
