in your words what's a true fascist
today, fascism has been reduced to a pejorative term, mostly thrown by liberals towards conservatives (but not always
you'd often hear "the libs are the real fascists" said by some conservative)
but Fascism is a real political doctrine, such as communism and socialism
there's an ongoing debate on the actual definition of fascism, so i'll give you the core values of what defines a fascist society and leader and why trump is the exact opposite of a true fascist in a lot of senses
read if interested
1- Fascism is in a way the denial of individualism for the greater good
of the nation(and nation is a race, one people)
2-unlike liberals who see people as individual interchange units
fascists believe in a hierarchy and natural order,
not even in a strictly racial sense
(person x is better than person y in this job because he's z)
(women are better x because they're y)
to a fascist modern mottos of equality would be highly dehumanizing, since they strip people of their heritage, identity and history
3-Fascist economy is something unlike anything seen in the west
economy serves the people (the nation)'s interest above anything and everything
modern conservativism's obsession with capitalism would be seen as extremely greedy and rootless by the fascist
their economy is
- Self sufficient (no mass migration or slaves to be used as cheap Labour for global organizations)
bosses and workere are both working for the same goal> to serve the people
they collaborate for their nation and people's interests
a ceo would not be allowed to make excessive profit of workers and use them as modern slaves
he would be highly regulated by the state
4-A fascist leader is not some replaceable modern politician who tries to leech of the system as he gets into power
he's quite literally the father figure to the nation, everything that embodies the people is seen within him,
this explains why authoritarianism is not seen as offensive by fascists
because the leader is their and the whole nation's personification,
it's a duty to follow him
5- blood and soil
i guess this and the one after are not "core values" but still recurring themes that are embedded
fascists have great care and love for their environment and animals
because the land is tied to their identity
nazis were the first ones to have animal wellfare, a lot of high ranking nazis were vocal advocates for animal protection and environmentalism
6- im kinda glossing over some so i'd include some of the other core values,
rejection of comfort and embracement of strength
readiness for war as it's the ultimate test for a nation's character
you may think trump is authoritarian (which he isn't in the fascist sense)
but that doesn't make him a fascist
in fact any facist would be offended if trump was labeled as one
1> he does not explicitly speak out against racemixing (probably one of the biggest types of treason one could commit in a facists mind), homosexualism etc
2> he's the exact opposite of an environmentalist
has repeatedly called climate change, a "con job" and a "scam"
3> he's far from the father figure
man's hated by 50% of the country, and of the rest that did vote for him, aside from probably a very small cult, did because they see him as the less worse alternative to libs,
nobody sees him as the personification the people
why would he be ? he's convicted of paying a pornstar hush money and most likely has done some crazy degenerate stuff in epstein's Island
both of which, fascists would find highly degenerate and wrong
4> he went to a pointless war, spent billions of dollars a day, and lost American lives
for Israel, hence putting another nation and people's interests above his people
this goes against the core of fascism
5> his economic policies literally give tax breaks to the rich billionaires, making them even richer, while the poor struggle
this would be seen as treason by fascists and extremely offensively so
could go on but point remains obvious trump is not a fascist, regardless on how one stretches whatever definition of the word
