just writing this so i can link it to people later
the principal difference between the american right wing and fascists is that the right wing are not statists in a true sense, and do not work towards centralized production control.
the principal difference between the american left wing and fascists is that the left wing are not nationalists in a true sense, and do not work towards a culturally conservative homogeneity
look, politics isn’t a sliding scale with one end being Bad and co-labeled Fascist, while the other end has your personal viewpoint. it’s possible for something to be bad and not be fascist.
