“You Keep Using That Word; I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means…”
You got that right, fatty.
It’s interesting that leftists always attribute this to the Right. Giovanni Gentile, the “father” of fascism, along with his biggest acolyte, Benito Mussolini, also made mention of Fascism being something that can be attributed to the “Right”, in “La dottrina del fascismo”.
Granted that the XIXth century was the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy, this does not mean that the XXth century must also be the century of socialism, liberalism, democracy. Political doctrines pass; nations remain. We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the “right”,
La dottrina del fascismo
However, anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty would have to admit that the definitions of political “left” and “right”, in Europe, bear some significant differences with those using those definitions in the United States. The same goes for the European use of the word “conservative”. Many so-called “conservatives” in European government would not be recognized as such, in the US, due to their support of policies that would be considered abhorrent in the America. Hell, in America, there are people so uneducated about Conservatism, that they believe that they are Conservatives, when clearly they are not, and there are others that just call everybody that’s not them a “conservative”, because of their glaring ignorance of the subject and ideology.
Anyhow, here’s the (“a”) definition of Fascism (of which there are several):
“…a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.”
Let’s fisk this, shall we?
“…a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power,”
In the United States, it is very clear to anyone that is not willfully blind that there is a political quarter that is fighting to make the federal government (and state governments) more powerful. In some cases, they will admit this, but none will say that they have the aim of the creation of a ‘dictatorial’ state with “complete power”, regardless of the fact that that’s exactly what they’re doing. To this end, they are constructing a government that defies the Constitution, and has absolute power over peoples’ health care decisions. A government that can tell you that you can, or cannot, exercise rights that are considered – in print – “unalienable“. A government that is literally to be considered the originator, holder and final arbiter of what is, and is not, a right, who has those rights, and to what degree those rights are possessed, right down to the individual. A government that can exert control over the environment, and dictate what environmental practices can occur on private property. A government that is unlimited by written law, which it can violate at any time, as it is composed of people that know best, and will always use this great power in the best interests of the People. A government that can tell you how much water you can have in your toilet; what kind of light bulbs you can have in your house; what kind of dog you can have; what kind of gun you can have, if you were allowed to possess one, in the first place; a government that is entitled to an ever increasing percentage of the fruits of your labors, and retains the right to redistribute those fruits to others that did not toil for your fruits; can decide that one group is above the law, and another beneath it, etc. The disingenuous reading that may want to try attributing that to whomever, but every one of those is most especially attributed to what is called “the left”, in America, and Democrats (though all Democrats are leftists).
“…forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism,”
The social media platforms, Amazon and Google (which includes YouTube, a form of social media) have long since been engaging in a pogrom against those guilty of “wrongthink“,
and, by and large, the “wrongthink” has been fairly reliably attributed to Republicans, paleocons, neocons, Conservatives and some libertarians, with a smattering of liberals. The low instances of Conservatives being censored or de-platformed is only reflective of the low representation in the Conservative in the sociopolitical population, not because the social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.) have been giving them any sort of pass.
“Beliefs or opinions that run contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy.”
What is the prevailing orthodoxy? The American left runs the news services, the vast majority of the social media corporations and Big Tech, in general, and Hollywood. They believe things like:
Non-liberal White men are the root of all evil.
Black men are helpless children that need liberal White people to rescue them from the bad White people.
Republicans want to destroy the environment.
Republicans should be violently confronted, and, if you can get away with it, killed.
Non Whites that vote Republican are self hating race-traitors.
Your children belong to the State.
The State should be the only one entrusted to educate your children, because parents are mentally incapable of doing so, adequately, and those that do turn out children that will be inferior and “demented”.
Guns should only be in the hands of the police and military.
The police forces are a fundamentally racist organization that has very little purpose, aside from killing Black people.
Democrats are the only political party that cares about non Whites, and has done so much to better their lives, over the centuries.
There are an infinite amount of genders, and you can choose which one you are, or how many you have.
Hollywood celebrities are paragons of virtue, and you should pay close, rapt attention when they opine, and very much take their opinions to heart.
Protesting is patriotic, if liberals are doing it. If any others of any other sociopolitical ideology do it, it is tantamount to insurrection.
Police are good, when they are opposing right wing aggression, and preserving the power of left wing politicians.
Christianity is wrong, because it claims that Christ was a god, and that there is only one way to “Heaven”.
There is nothing wrong with killing your children, before they can be born, and there is certainly nothing wrong with killing them, because a physician believes they will have any sort of handicap or imperfection. It is also permissible to kill them, if you decide you just don’t want them, anymore.
Global Cooling, the Population Bomb, Global Warming, Climate Change is real. The science is settled.
Anyone not holding the prevailing beliefs of the left is probably a member of the American Nazi Party.
So, if you do not subscribe to all of those beliefs (and more, the list goes on), then you’re classified as a Neo Nazi, and the left – who generally eschews military service, due to extreme cowardice, believe that murdering (or just assaulting you) is completely justified. If in large enough numbers, of if an individual has a large enough element of surprise, they could use these grounds to justify harming the holder of wrongthink opinions. As they also believe that Free Speech is violence, if it runs “…contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy“, harming the practitioners of wrongthink is to be considered self defense. To this end, “…forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism…” is completely justified by the individual, and the corporation. A responsible corporation will act to protect the People from violence through Free Speech, if that Free Speech runs “…contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy“. An irresponsible corporation – which is, bacisally, a criminal organization, will not act to protect the People from violence through Free Speech, when that Free Speech runs “…contrary to the prevailing orthodoxy“, and, in fact, will promote such abominable acts. Examples of those irresponsible corporations this include Parler,
Gab,
MeWe,
Bitchute,
and others.
Examples of responsible corporations include
Apple,
Facebook,
Twitter,
YouTube,
and others. Deleting your page or channel, in spite of perhaps having millions of followers, without warning, is completely justified to suppress “…opposition and criticism…” in the form of wrongthink. Opposition and criticism is good, and even patriotic, as long as it is not done through wrongthink. Once again, this is not something that one can attribute to the political “Right” in this country. Organizations like ANTIFA, which purports to be anti-fascist, is free to use the tactics of the fascist to these ends. This is mainly because they are the fascists, and so they believe it is their mandate to suppress “…opposition and criticism…”, even if they believe it must be done “…forcibly…”, through the destruction of the homes and business of those not involved in their fight (because everybody’s involved; if they fail to acknowledge this, they’re on the wrong side, and, after all, it’s just stuff; things can be replaced by insurance, right?), assault and murder. This facet of fascism is very clearly something the left has cornered the market on, through such organizations as ANTIFA, and they are protected by politicians that see their sectarian terrorism and violence as politically useful, and refuse to even acknowledge ANTIFA as a decentralized entity.
While there is certainly violence by people claiming to be “right wing”, like the Proud Boys, they haven’t been responsible for anywhere near the level of damage ANTIFA is.
The domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter have accomplished one thing: the most costly riots in the history of our country, Axios reported. Amazingly, the far-left news organization still insists the civil unrest has been “mostly peaceful.”
Property Claim Services, a company that tracks insurance claims filed due to riots and the like, found that the riots that occurred between May 26 and June 8 of this year could reach $2 billion in insurance claims.
Obviously, because the left’s domestic terrorism extended well beyond June 8 and is still ongoing, the company acknowledges “this is still happening, so the losses could be significantly more,” Breitbart reported.
The editorial team at Law Officer believes the wording, “could be significantly more,” should be amended to read, “will absolutely be much more.” On June 8, the destroyers were just getting warmed up.

Back to the decriptor.
“regimenting all industry, commerce, etc.,“
Nationalization is something that the left, in this country (and in others) has demonstrably loved doing. For instance, while the left decried Trump’s nationalization of industry to produce supplies to fight the spread of the CCP Virus…
President Trump invoked a Korean War-era law to help manufacturers secure supplies needed to make ventilators and protective face masks, as the federal stockpile of the medical devices was running dangerously low amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Mr. Trump used the Defense Production Act in an effort to address the surging levels of patients in particularly hard-hit metro areas such as New York, New Orleans and Detroit. The federal government has distributed roughly half of its ventilators, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal, and has fewer than 10,000 still in hand—as the nation is projected to need tens of thousands more in the next weeks ahead.

…they’re more than happy to see Joe Biden do it.
Me, personally, I supported neither instance of the invoking of that, but unlike the fascist left, I’m consistent in my positions, and won’t just call it out, when one side does it, over the other. Then, there’s the unconstitutional control the federal government has given itself over health care. Without the enumerated power and responsibility to do so, the federal government has asserted control and distribution powers over health care, through such things as Medicare and Medicaid, and now they’ve branched out into attacking the rest of the country through unconstitutional legislation, which gave rise to things like ObamaCare, TrumpCare and now, BidenCare. All three are instances of governmental overreach, and the seizing of unconstitutional powers over the People and the States, in complete and total defiance of the Constitution. The left (except when Trump did it) says this is just the government doing it’s job to “help” people. Like my grandmother used to say:
Congress has an unconstitutional ban on buying health insurance across state lines, in most instances, and try justifying that by saying it won’t help you save money, anyway. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution says that Congress has the enumerated power:
“to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian.”
but this is meant to prevent illegal actions from being performed, not to act as a straightjacket and cutoff valve for interstate commerce. This is something that is very widely endorsed by the political left, in this country, and does not have wider acceptance on the Right (though in their weakness and cowardice, they acquiesce). Once again, fascist is not an accurate descriptor for the political right, in this part of the definition, and hangs, squarely, around the collective neck of the left.
And now we come to this:
“…and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.“
The racism is self evident. The self-hating Whites of the fascist left have decided to present all other Whites (non left) as being racists, and even existential threats to the country.
White supremacy is ‘most lethal threat’ to the US, DHS draft assessment says
Washington (CNN)White supremacists will remain the most “persistent and lethal threat” in the United States through 2021, according to Department of Homeland Security draft documents.
The most recent draft report predicts an “elevated threat environment at least through” early next year, concluding that some US-based violent extremists have capitalized on increased social and political tensions in 2020.
Although foreign terrorist organizations will continue to call for attacks on the US, the report says, they “probably will remain constrained in their ability to direct such plots over the next year.”
The threat assessment — which also warns of continued disinformation efforts by Russia — is especially notable as President Donald Trump has often employed race-baiting tactics in his quest for reelection and frequently downplayed the threat from white supremacists during his term in office. The Trump administration has portrayed Antifa and anarchists as a top threat to the US, with the President tweeting this summer that the US will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization.
The recently released draft reports, which were made public by Lawfare Editor in Chief Benjamin Wittes and first reported by Politico, assess a host of threats, including cyber, foreign influence and irregular migration.
All three drafts state that white supremacist extremists are the deadliest threat. However, the placement and language about white supremacy in three versions of the DHS draft documents differ slightly.

Then, you have the liberal fascist Whites that will attack Blacks that do not pay along with their portrayal of “People of Color” as perennial victims. Or politicians attacking racial groups, if they do not tow the political line.
“What you all know, but most people don’t know. Unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things,”
President Joe Biden
Or, one of his more classic quotes:
“Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point.”
President Joe Biden
Not to say that Republicans aren’t racist, themselves; they definitely are. However, the Democratic Party, in their demonstration of their true faith to fascism, push their racist policies for political purposes, such as unconstitutional, unequal laws, granting special protection to certain groups of sacred cows, and unequal protection of the law.
“…aggressive nationalism.“
The America that liberals want is starkly different from the America wanted by Conservatives, which is different from the America wanted by Republicans/paleocons/neocons, which is different from the America wanted by libertarians. What kind of America do liberals want? Liberals want an America that is ruled by a single political party, led by an all powerful dictator. This dictator has the power to rule through diktat, and has no interest in governing. It controls health care, and there is no more Private Sector, as the dictator controls that, too. It controls all education. Movies and television are approved by this dictatorship, which is fully empowered to censor. It is the source of all rights, and controls who has those rights, and determines to what extent the individual can exercise those rights, and for how long, and under what circumstances. It does not recognize a “Creator”, as spoken of by the Founders and the Framers, as it is totally secular, and the head of it’s own church, which is a religious worship of the State. It forcibly suppresses opposition, ensuring there can be no other political parties, or even accepted sociopolitical thought. It cannot be criticized. All sectors of industry are regimented under this dictatorship, all commerce is done at the pleasure of the dictatorship, and there is a hierarchy of citizens, with some one the top, and some on the bottom, the criteria of which is on top, and which is on the bottom, is determined by whomever is in power. Those on the bottom are entitled to no rights, and are automatically criminals that must, at all times, be monitored and regulated by the State. To this end, to the pushing of their nation, their America, the liberal fascist is very aggressive, including such postulations as putting the children of Trump voters into re-education camps for their parents’ wrongthink.
TRUMP’S NO ANGEL, BUT LIBERALS WITH THEIR UGLY THREATS HAVE BECOME WHAT THEY CLAIM TO HATE
The people who have lost their minds can’t wait to talk to you.
While participating in a charitable activity with my children and other parents and kids, a goofy guy who worked at the venue heard just enough of a conversation about politics to insert himself.
“Did you hear that one of the Koch brothers died?”
The parents just looked at each other. The goofball plowed ahead.
“Well here’s hoping to a happy reunion!” he finished, clumsily wrapping up the non sequitur before returning to his task.
The goofball looked so happy, simultaneously celebrating the death of one person while wishing it upon another in front of children, right after telling us how excited he was about the upcoming Bernie Sanders rally.

With Democrats, every story ends the same: Republicans are racists or Russians
I loved the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books as a kid. To open the door, turn to page 183. To attack the dragon, turn to page 79. Sometimes the choices resulted in a dead end, but if you read long enough you navigated to a happy ending.
Democrats employ a “choose your own adventure” strategy in their arguments against Republicans, except in their sadistic story there’s no way out — every ending is the same.
You are a racist. The end.
You are a tool of the Kremlin. The end.
You are shameful. The end.
They plan to browbeat and silence anyone who protests, constructing evidence-free conspiracy theories along the way.
For President Donald Trump, all arguments lead Democrats to scream that Trump and his supporters are racists and, more recently, “white supremacists.”

And let’s not forget this:
PROTESTERS POUND THE DOORS OF THE SUPREME COURT FOLLOWING KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION
U.S. Capitol Police said a total of 164 people were arrested during the protests for “crowding, obstructing, or incommoding.”
A throng of protesters pushed past a police line, storming up steps to pound on the doors of the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday after the Senate confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.
“Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Kavanaugh has got to go,” the protesters chanted as they flooded the steps of the court, many with fists raised in the air, others with arms linked.
Police eventually were able to form a line between the door and the group of protesters and later shepherded them back down the steps before erecting a barricade.
The protest at the Supreme Court came shortly after Vice President Mike Pence walked down the steps of the U.S. Senate to chants of “shame” after the vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
Droves of protesters pressed up against metal barricades outside the Capitol Building to shout at Pence, who was forced to face their chants as he left.

So there you have it. No, it’s not the Republican Party that best represents fascism, it’s the Democratic Party. It’s liberalism, in general. They are the party of censorship, dictatorship, suppression of dissent, “classism”, and racism. While both parties ceertain have their share of racists, the DNC has a unique history of it, as well as a history of hypocrisy involving it. They’ll “champion the rights” of the “Person of Color”; provided you have the right politics, and not guilty of wrongthink, like I am. I’ve shown you examples. Do with it what you will.
I am Virus-X, REPUBLIC COMMANDO, and I approve this message.
