    Wikipedia: Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe.[1][2][3] Fascism is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

    While I strongly disagree with Israel + USA politics, and believe both their leaders should rot in prison, those countries tick way less boxes (or tick them less intense) than Russia.

      Israel and the US literally tick every single one of those boxes, inside and outside their borders. Just cause the victims aren’t white or allies of western interests and live outside the imperial core doesn’t invalidate it lmao. But saying you simply “strongly disagree” instead of actually opposing those genocidal settler colonies says more than enough on why you think the way you do. Also “tick them less intense” while Israel is commiting a fucking live streamed genocide is a fucking choice, and all with US and western support.

      • don’t cite tertiary sources, even in casual discussions
      • your conclusion is simply false and betrays a poor understanding of all three countries.
      • it’s best to understand the basics of socialist theory, and ideally Marxism, if you’d like to have any kind of a constructive discussion on our instance. If you’d like some resources to hero you very “caught up”, there are many resources linked in this thread from today: https://hexbear.net/post/7147179
