    Fascism:

    Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Opposed to anarchism, democracy, pluralism, egalitarianism, liberalism, socialism, and Marxism,[4][5] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum.[6][5][7]

    I’m guessing that I have to wake you up and inform you that these things are happening with BOTH Democrats and Republicans in office. The only difference is the branding and which specific corporations benefit from having their team capture regulatory agencies. Case in point: try speaking up about the genocide happening in Palestine and watch yourself be either prosecuted or fired for “antisemitism” or try speaking up about the militarized police training facility in Georgia referred to as cop city. These are things Biden and Kamala enthusiastically support. In fact, I’d call cop city Kamala Harris’s raison d’être.

    Here’s a Kamala speech dripping with what I would characterize as FASCISM: https://youtu.be/McK8bPR8pzU?si=nVLjs5SjYfogmYTF

    Oh look! Yet another example of fascism: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/845

    Edit: imagine downvoting this comment. I guess it’s something that the people who think Kamala is the only thing standing in the way of fascism don’t want to hear.

      Not buying it. The tenets described VERY CLOSELY align with modern day Republicans and Trumpism specifically. Theres only a passing resemblance to Democrats and a few pro-Israel examples do not make a fascist.

      For those reading, don’t buy into whatever this dude is selling. It’s a purposeful misrepresentation of the ideology.

        😂😂😂😂

        brainwashed identity politics sheep

        Please, educate me. Where did I misrepresent anything? I simply defined fascism then added some links that clearly support my hypothesis. Your rebuttal was , “don’t believe this person. Believe me even though I offer absolutely no rebuttal in the form of facts.”

        Did you not go down that list and see that it ALSO closely resembles the establishment Democrat MO? Or are you going to pretend that you did?

        For those reading, think for yourself. This person is actually terrified that you will realize that this country has two fascist parties and that you actually have no voice at all if you’re a leftist. 😂😂😂.

        Ps. Thanks for the biggest laugh I’ve had today. What will you do when the impotent candidate that the DNC is running loses? (Just so it doesn’t blind-side you: Kamala’s going to lose and it won’t be because of sexism. She can’t even pretend to have any authenticity whatsoever…and most of her allies even know that.) We’ve had three presidential election cycles in a row where the DNC said, “the voice of the left doesn’t matter. We’re going to install our most blatantly corrupt candidate rather than allow democracy to speak through a fair primary and then shame the voters into voting for this unelected candidate instead of trying to represent the left wing of the political spectrum.” And you eat it up and ask for more!

        Our oceans are boiling and our world is crumbling as a result of rampant regulatory capture, runaway corporatism, and the corruption of our leaders and here you are fighting tooth and nail the people trying to wake you the fuck up to that fact.

        The state is a fascist entity. There’s literally fasces all over state churches. It’s because the founding slavers worshipped the ancient slave empire of rome. It’s the same reason that fascists in italy started fascism as an overt brand. Those who serve this slave system are definitely fascists regardless of what nation or “party” they purport to represent. It’s basically a one-party system worldwide.
