For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.'What constitutes a definition of fascism and fascist governments has been a complicated and highly disputed subject concerning the exact nature of fascism and its core tenets debated amongst historians, political scientists, and other scholars ever since Benito Mussolini first used the term in 1915. Historian Ian Kershaw once wrote that "trying to define 'fascism' is like trying to nail jelly to the wall".[1]
A significant number of scholars agree that a "fascist regime" is foremost an authoritarian form of government; however, the general academic consensus also holds that not all authoritarian regimes are fascist, and more distinguishing traits are required in order for a regime to be characterized as such.'
Khandro; How would you define a fascist? (an agreed definition would make for a sensible discussion.) I suggest that the word 'authoritarianism' would come into it, and perhaps 'intolerance' and 'centralisation'.
BTW I don't like speakers being physically or verbally attacked, although it's a bit unsurprising given the circustances at the time.
khandro: "'What constitutes a definition of fascism" - an ideology that allocates the "correct" view on any given subject and then villifies and condemns any dissenters. Things like men and women can get pregnant, have wombs, penises etc. Children can be drugged to satisfy their parents idiocy that their kid is somehow in the "wrong body", you know the sort of thing. That's the fascism we live with today. Their punishements are not as extreme as the nazis.....yet!
12:55 come on you're not that dim. This is not about the view on any subject. It's about the attitude that anyone without the prescribed view is to be punished, villified, cancelled etc. The actual subject is largely irrelevant. The whole woke TG cobras is just the latest thing that had got the modern day fascists on the march.
and the police did nothing.
My mudda said this happened alot in the thirties - sort of evening entertainment if you cdnt afford the cinema that night
go out and pick a fight with the fascists ( or communists)
sort of done in Peaky Blinders but not with the idea of young people going out and looking for (political) trouble
fascism is not just about intolerance for dissent. plenty of authoritarian ideologies do that.
fascism is all about categorizing people into desirables and undesirables, and either subjugating or liquidating the latter.
i think that throwing things at such people is a healthy thing to do and i wish it happened more often
