How Fascism Works

Both parties are the 'elite'

The question as to whether fascism is left or right is frequently used to trigger distraction in debates like these, whether intentionally or not. Personally, I think fascism (which can come from anywhere in the political spectrum) can in hindsight and foresight be determined by its goals and what kind of power it approves of; both of these will show a distinctive commonality, whether the head fascist arrives from the left, the right, backwards or forwards.

Mussolini for example described fascism as “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Does this sound like the "America First" ideas and ambitions?

What kind of power was Mussolini’s focus? (Domination, unlimited personal power and control) Personally I think they are pretty much hallmarks, though they are not the only factors.

(Intellectual debates on fascism in political science circles tend to disregard the distractions of partisanism altogether, referring to fascism instead as "the third way" or some other descriptor to put a fence around, and keep the focus on, the critical issues).

Definitely sounds like the current liberal establishment not wanting to let go of power and creating propaganda of 'Russian meddling'.

Both parties have supported neo Nazi death squads in South America in the past. It will never change if people keep voting for the same 2 crooked parties.

I would have to agree that the history of USA's covert operations over the decades in Central and South America has been consistently shameful, to the point of unconscionable and indefensible actions, regardless of electoral outcomes in the USA during that time.

I am still suspicious about the extent to which this is still occurring and the unseen impacts of it, though that is another topic.

The inhumane and vicious attack on the non-Sunni population in Yemen is a disgrace of unspeakable proportions. It was conceived of and implemented by Mr Bone Saw.
