Think we might need the late warning signs at this point
Following this I’d say half of the Middle East is fascist
Not wrong there. I think the term Fascism is often wielded a bit loosely to simply mean “authoritarian” but I’d absolutely say nations like Israel and Iran qualify.
I think the only real element that makes Iran somewhat unique is that it is a religion which controls the government, rather than a government which controls the religion, but the end result is strikingly similar. The term “Islamofascist” has been used to describe its particular brand of authoritarianism and characterize the ways in which it distinguishes itself from western fascism/Christofascism.
wait
lt’s literally Russia
This has been the Republican party for all of my nearly 5 decades on this planet.
At what point is it just a regular signs of fascism and not early warning signs?
Can’t help but feel fraudulent elections is a bit of a ‘late warning sign’ of fascism
