Another great article. I was just talking about the difference between socialism and fascism with a colleague who grew up in Poland. I admitted that I don’t have a firm grip of exactly what that is, but with more and more commentators talking about it I’m beginning to get an idea: in layman’s terms, it means taking Chicago-style “machine” politics national. At least for this administration.
That is an amazing article.
Fascism. You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Rejection of democracy, glorification and sanctification of violence and extreme nationalism were some of the *defining* characteristics of Fascism as an actual self defined political movement.
Using it as a sloppy synonym for “more collectivist than Rand Simberg” makes you sound like a mirror image of the leftists that would label all manifestations of authoritarianism or right wing politics they disliked as fascism.
You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Right back atcha.
