Trump is a fascist. Farage is a fascist. The EU are fascists.
So who is?
1/6
Mussolini is a prime example.
No one claims that he wasn’t a *real* fascist. He labelled himself one & wrote about it.
2/6
Mussolini makes it clear that fascism in essence is the pervasiveness and supremacy of the State over every area of social life.
3/6
Fascism isn’t about policies regarding race or any other topic.
Fascism isn’t about militarism or warmongering.
Fascism is the belief that the State is the supreme social institution, regulating all others.
4/6
Make no distinction between state & society. The State = the group.
Make no distinction between law & morality. The unethical = the criminal.
Make no distinction between individuals & citizens. The personal = the political.
5/6
Do they believe that all human problems are reducible to political problems that we must look to the State to solve?
If the answer is yes, then they are a fascist.
Are you?
