  1. ​ @biogamer0291 How is this propaganda? The NAZI establishment never called themselves or their ideology Fascist. It is a terminologization made up by historians and political analysists like "Byzantine".

  3.  @thedemolitionmuniciple  How doesn't that matter?. Fascism is supposedly an ideology, its not a simple physical thing like the sharpness of a knief. We take alot of care with self description in any anthropological setting. So the self description of the German establishment in the 1930s-1940s does matter even if not the end all be all itself.

  10.  @interbard  That those 3 countries are what first came to mind to me doesn't mean they're the only examples. There's also Serbia, for one. And Guess what, America's government's divided too.

  12. ​ @georgecampbell9190 Oh, shit. It's been a year already. The book basically defines authoritarianism as Fascism essentially defining out leftist authoritarian groups as the USSR or Tankies from being leftist and as such, protecting the reputation of the left. It doesn't even suppliment this definition of Fascism with what Fascists actually believe as such it is a book claiming to be trying to explain what Fascism is and what they believe without actually trying to understand what the Fascists actually believed. If someone did that to explain communism they would be resoundly ridiculed but it's accepted for Fascism, cuz it is clearly a retorical device and not an attempt at getting to truth.

  13. Given on the recent criticism videos on JP, I guess he has to be extremely careful on what he says.
