intruding in spaces where you are clearly not wanted
Oooooh, I don't know about that... it seems it's only desperate liberals that don't want real leftists around.
Besides... you don't need me to highlight the intimate links between liberalism and fascism for everybody - you and Genocide Joe managed that quite nicely.
Soooo... you're just another liberal that doesn't want to accept how right-wing your ideology truly is.
Umberto Eco never managed to "define" fascism, Clyde.
He only provided a list of characteristics of (what he termed) "ur-fascism" - what I'd call "secondary fascism" (ie, the violent re-enforcement of the status quo in the imperial core using methods and justifications pioneered in the colonised world).
Here is what he said himself -
"These features cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism."
Ie... no workable definition of fascism.
Okay?
"Crony capitalism" is the only kind of capitalism there is and always have been, genius.
I've already answered that question for you... your reaction suggests you're a liberal that didn't like what they were told.
You seem very desperate to pretend that there really is a big difference between liberalism and (so-called) "conservatism."
Are you a liberal, perhaps?
laizzez-faire isn’t an exclusive tenant of liberalism
Ooooooh... do tell, genius - what other ideology is so blindingly loyal to the capitalist mode of production?
Monarchism, perhaps?
Is there a particular reason you don't want to admit what liberalism is and always have been?
There has been a shinning example of Fascism in the US since it’s creation.
Yes. Mussolini didn't invent it... he just gave it a convenient name for us to use. What we call "fascism" today was birthed by colonialist brutality long before it's vicious logic was applied to the populations of the newly-minted imperial core.
This is why all the (so-called) "definitions" of fascism offered by liberals is so risible - they conveniently forget about fascism's intimate links with imperialism (and therefore liberalism - the preferred ideology of colonisers) and merely try to write it off as some "aberration" of otherwise "perfect" western civilisation.
Lol!
Did you actually read what you posted, genius?
Here. I'll make this a bit less confusing for you.
"An economic theory in favour of laizzez-faire, the free market, and the gold standard."
Do tell... which of the two formal political factions in the US is most in favour of allowing billionaire parasites (ie, capitalists) to run everything and using the (so-called) "free market" a justification for that?
The people (honestly) calling themselves "liberals" or the people (falsely) calling themselves "conservatives?"
Read this part real careful like... political conservatism is a dead ideology.
You don't have to believe me - hear it from an actual conservative.
These people are conservatives.
No. They're not.
But if you really wish to continue flattering them, feel free to call them "conservatives" - it informs them that their pretense is still working.
If they a re not conservative what are they?
What they are in reality is an extremist, fundamentalist and far-right strain of liberal. Liberalism has always really just been the fig-leaf ideology behind which capitalism hides... but these people calling themselves "conservatives" are really just capitalists that don't see the need to bother with a fig-leaf at all. Simply consider the behaviour of people like Trump, Musk and all the other billionaires that barely hide their contempt for the working class. They are not true fascists, but I don't see a problem with people calling them that - they certainly would like to be true fascists but lack the connection to the working class to actually do that like Hitler or Mussolini did. They are just extremely spoilt rich people living in bubbles of privilege... unlike the fascists of old.
Conservatism itself is essentially a dead ideology - the conservatives of Abraham Lincoln's time would sound like radical leftists in comparison to the people using that label today.
Partisans were people who fought actual Nazis, Clyde... you know, that thing you liberals couldn't be bothered to do?
