A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

How exactly do you define fascism?

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Fascism doesn't have a static definition, it's fluid to adapt to current conditions.

We will never have a complete definition of fascism, because it is in constant motion, showing a new face to fit any particular set of problems that arise to threaten the predominance of the traditionalist, capitalist ruling class. Neo liberalism, post modernism, neo colonialism, libertarian, democratic socialism. It's all just fascism reforming itself into whatever it needs to be to maintain capitalism, and settler colonialism, and suppress the international proletariat revolution to overthrow Imperialism.

That just boils down to "whatever I don't like is fascism". It's worthless. Thougj it can take many forms, there are absolute characteristics that define fascism.

Those rules applied to those times. That's only applicable if you are historically and politically illiterate
