here's an idea: take your stupid hand-wringing over definitions and shove it directly up your ass. when you say "Many will fall for the road to be paved", you are saying your idea is more important than human fucking lives. this is a recurring theme in every fascist regime throughout human history. | ||||||||

Fascism is an phenomenon that arose in early twentieth century Europe. Historians can tell you exactly how. By trying to describe regimes earlier than that, "throughout human history", as fascist, you are only engaging in that very semantic bleaching of the term that makes it useless. Of course there have been regimes throughout human history that were unfree, even brutal, but no need to apply a term so linked to specific early twentieth century developments. | ||||||||
