Bringing up the definition of fascism for those...sm

Posted: Jun 14, 2017

who have been using the term incorrectly.

ˈfaSHˌizəm/

noun

an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.

synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy; More
(in general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.

The other day someone used the term incorrectly, calling progressive democrats liberal fascists. Liberal fascism is an oxymoron.

You don't fool me one bit.

You took the first hit offered up by Google, a left-leaning organization.

To readers of this thread, read down further on the Google page of fascism to see the true defition.

Great post! - I am sick of the condescending, snotty

comments by a few on this board that are taken with themselves and the voicesin their heads...they think they have all the answers. Same ones that drop their monikers and then write back and forth to themselves trying to shore up their uneducated, low information POV...the post above proves it. Glad you set it straight.

Kindly explain progressive liberals shutting down free speech to which - anon

they do not agree, if you can. By your own example of intolerance - the recent exclusion of gay conservatives from a pride parade reeks of intolerance. The Berkeley riots in which conservatives were blocked from exercising their right to free speech.

So how would you term such behavior?

There's a big difference between free speech - and HATE speech.

Saying there's a difference between free or hate - speech is "pot vs kettle?"

How does that term come into play?

So, then you would define the actions of liberal groups such as Antifa hate speech? - anon

Republicans should be executed? No one on the left called that hate speech.

What you posted is incorrect. Lets try Merriam Webster - Mrs. Tingles - sm

Looks like you wrote that yourself. However, either way it is incorrect. To set the record straight and posters are smart enough to know what you posted is not correct, so, with further ado, here is the correct definition - and this is according to Google too. Merriam Webster:

Definition of fascism

1: often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
early instances of army fascism and brutality — J. W. Aldridge

fascistplay ˈfa-shist also -sist noun or adjective, often capitalized
fascisticplay fa-ˈshi-stik also -ˈsi- adjective, often capitalized
fascisticallyplay fa-ˈshi-sti-k(ə-)lē also -ˈsi- adverb, often capitalized

Shame on you for purposely trying to mislead people. The reason we know what you posted is incorrect is because it uses the term right-wing. That comes from some left-wing rag trying to pass off fake news as real. Even if it said left-wing we can summize that this is not the meaning of the word. Also their phony attempt to write the pronounciation - faSHˌizəm/. No site with credibility spells things like this. But thank you for pointing out how you will post false information to try and back up your call. Unfortunately for you it was an Epic fail.

Still sounds like Trump, the - dictator wannabe nm

The words propaganda and indoctrination come to mind. "Be proud of your country and heritage. A white Aryan nation would be supreme." I am a history buff and agree we should never forget.

Sounds like you're the one needing - some schooling

fascism is. Literally, it is a system where government runs businesses without owning them by threat of governmental force. Google and college professors like to liken it to right wing, but in this sense right wing refers to the traditional European political spectrum, not conservatism. I first explained that fascism (national socialism) is just another form of socialism. Internationalist socialists bitterly reject this idea, but it is the truth.

Push yourself forward There are plenty of obstacles that can stand in your way. Don’t be one of them. Your own thoughts, assumptions and fears can hold you back just as surely as a solid brick wall. And yet, just as you created those self-imposed obstacles, you can let them go. Instead of fighting against yourself, use the amazing power of your thoughts to more fully enable yourself. Instead of constructing elaborate excuses for avoiding your dreams, just go ahead and let yourself live ...
