FASCISM - The LEFT'S/DEMOCRATS New Sexy Word of The Day:
Everyone on the LEFT is crying FASCISM. They are the Fascist and they are GASLIGHTING their LOW INFORMATION Constituents.
The simple text book definition of FASCISM is basically this: 'You own it, and the Government tells you how to run it.'
Examples:
Democrats tell Whirlpool what kind of appliances to make
Democrats tell Maytag what kind of appliances to make
Democrats tell GE what kind of light bulbs to make
Democrats tell Kohler what kind of Toilets to make
Democrats mandated car companies to make EVs no one wants
Democrats want to tell Farmers how to farm
Democrats want to tell Police how to Police
Democrats want to tell oil companies where to drill
Democrats think they know more about fighting endless wars than the military knows how to end them
Clinton thought he knew more about mortgages than the mortgage industry which led to the housing bust
Obama thought he knew more about medical insurance than the medical insurance industry, now the medical industry is in shambles and Democrats have people thinking they know better about Healthcare ... people are stupid
FASCISM - You own it and the Government tells you how to run it.

Fascism is an authoritarian, far-right political ideology characterized by dictatorial power, extreme nationalism, suppression of opposition, and often racist or militaristic policies. It emphasizes the supremacy of the state or a particular ethnic group, rejects liberal democracy, and typically promotes aggressive expansionism. Historical examples include Mussolini's Italy and Nazi Germany.
Comparing the modern Democratic Party to Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy is a highly contentious and often politically charged claim, typically made by critics on the far right. While there are legitimate debates about policies, civil liberties, and government overreach in any democracy, equating mainstream U.S. political parties with historical fascist regimes is an extreme exaggeration that ignores key ideological and historical differences.
That said, some critics argue that certain 'rhetorical' or 'policy' trends in the Democratic Party (or the progressive left more broadly) bear superficial resemblance to fascist tactics, including:
1. Nationalism vs. Progressive "Collectivism"
- Fascism: Extreme nationalism, often tied to racial or ethnic supremacy (e.g., Nazi Germany’s Aryan ideology).

- Democratic Party: While the left emphasizes social justice and equity, it does not promote ethnic nationalism. However, some critics argue that "woke" ideology enforces a form of 'cultural conformity' that resembles authoritarian thought control.
2. Media and Propaganda
- Fascism: State-controlled media, suppression of dissent (e.g., Mussolini’s press censorship, Nazi propaganda).
- Democratic Party: No state-controlled media exists in the U.S., but some conservatives argue that liberal bias in tech companies (e.g., social media moderation) and mainstream media amounts to "censorship."
3. Corporate-State Collaboration
- Fascism: Mussolini’s corporatist model merged big business with government control.
- Democratic Party: Some progressive policies (e.g., green energy subsidies, big tech alliances) are seen by critics as a form of crony capitalism where government and corporations work closely together.
4. Use of Fear and Crisis to Expand Power
- Fascism: Nazis used crises (e.g., Reichstag fire) to justify emergency powers.
- Democratic Party: Critics argue that responses to COVID-19 (lockdowns, mandates) or climate change policies resemble authoritarian overreach, though these were temporary public health measures, not ideological power grabs.
5. Identity Politics and "Enemy" Rhetoric
- Fascism: Nazis scapegoated Jews, communists, and minorities.
- Democratic Party: Some on the left frame political opponents (e.g., "MAGA extremists") as existential threats, which critics compare to demonization tactics—though without state violence.
Key Differences:
- Democracy vs. Dictatorship: The Democratic Party operates within a democratic system, unlike fascist regimes.
- No Cult of Personality: Unlike Hitler or Mussolini, Democratic leaders are not worshipped as infallible figures.
- No Militarized Expansionism: The U.S. is not pursuing aggressive territorial conquest like fascist states did.
Conclusion
While some 'tactics' (rhetorical demonization, crisis-driven policies) might draw comparisons from critics, the Democratic Party is not fascist in ideology or practice. Fascism requires the abolition of democracy, violent suppression of dissent, and ultranationalist militarism—none of which apply to the modern U.S. left.
