Wow. That contains one of the best rundowns of "fascism" that I've seen in print. It's why I've been so alarmed at the increases in "public-private partnerships" that have been occurring in recent decades. "Public-private partnership" is kinda the very definition of fascism.
I've also wondered why Leftists can get away with labeling Republicans as "fascists" while simultaneously somehow giving Democrats a pass, when they are both doing the same thing... exemplified at it's local zenith by the BidenHarris regime's rampant use of Big Tech and social media to do end-runs around constitutional constraints on government's power to enforce woke edicts as well as collect constitutionally protected data on citizens without having to trouble themselves with getting those pesky warrants.
The Bush regime was also an over-achiever in the fascism department, so it's not only a Democrat thing, but it is by no means limited to Republicans. All that, and it has nothing at all to do with racism or nationalism as the public has been led to believe. Never has, never will. But that is one of the dangers I've been preaching about for 20 years on allowing Leftists to redefine words to have no resemblance to the textbook definitions they used to have.
It appears that the Leftists have been pretty successful at using the propaganda mill to pin the fascist tail on the republican elephant while avoiding pinning that tail on their own donkey, and they've actually used fascism itself to avoid labeling themselves as fascists by sending the edicts to private sector propaganda disseminators in social media for distribution to the masses. Brilliant strategy!
It's a goddamned shame the general public has fallen for it.
