I love equality. I'm rather liberal. I very much don't like totalitarian regimes. They squash diversity and dissent.
Meh, these accusations are so wild and sweeping, it's a bit insane to try to speak to all of it at once. Let's narrow our focus, shall we?
And your opinion of the following?
Quote:
Republican = dumb
Christian = dumb
=> Republican = Christian
QED.
Liberals obviously hate anyone who dares agree with the liberal agenda.
First of all,
I'm not "liberal", I'm radical. And you are citing the fact that liberals tend to have a strong dislike of the right as someone suppressing dissent. You should realise that the Republican = Christian proof was a JOKE. I don't think that anyone truly thinks that that proof was really meant to prove anything except you. Also, the right equally hates the left, citing all dissenters as pushing an "agenda" which is a completely meaningless buzzword; every position is an "agenda"; the founding fathers had an "agenda" for democracy against British Colonialism.
Fascism is (a) not a form of government (totalitarianism), but rather an ideology and (b) is by Hitler's own admission a right wing belief. When socialists look at the problems of society, they see at the heart of it class conflict and economic struggle. Fascists look at what's wrong in society and see a scapegoat group of people that cause the problem, whom they generally associate with the left. Hitler himself said that the goal of communists was to deliver the world into the hands of the Jews.
Hitler wrote:
Since the outbreak of the French Revolution, the world has been moving with ever increasing speed toward a new conflict, the most extreme solution of which is called Bolshevism, whose essence and aim, however, are solely the elimination of those strata of mankind which have hitherto provided the leadership and their replacement by worldwide Jewry.
So, who are the American fascists? I'd say the Libertarians and Constitutionalists (citing immigrants and atheists respectively for the problems of society).

I won't translate it because it doesn't mean anything.
