its authoritarian and its capitalist
according to you, this is fascism

A liberal dictatorship instead of a liberal democracy.

>Keep it simple to prevent misinterpretation or false propaganda
By "keeping things simple" is how you get misinterpretation and false propaganda. As someone pointed out, by your definition, China is fascist, which is not correct.
>>2585915
ur-fascism =/= fascism

This is better to prevent confusion of NEP type of socialism being literally nazis.

I'm a complete ignorant, but I feel like there's an aspect missing with your definitions. Fascist governments are like some sort of cult that are centered around a leader that is leading a specific group in society into a holy war/salvation. They use things that ressemble mysticism like for example "blood and soil", which gives them divine right to commit atrocities against other groups considered subhumans/undesirables by them.

>individual states
<Coined in the early 20th century, the term "Balkanisation" traces its origins to the depiction of events during the Balkan Wars (1912–1913) and the First World War (1914–1918). It did not emerge during the gradual secession of Balkan nations from the Ottoman Empire over the 19th century, but was coined at the end of the First World War.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balkanization

as always, capitalism universalizes contradictions to affect everyone. The same class of finance imperialists who broke up the USSR are now working towards privatizing the West
https://www.thenation.com/article/world/harvard-boys-do-russia/

>>2585956
isnt that all societies?
if the family is the basic social unit, and all families are cults of loyalty which are often dysfunctional, then all societies are messed up. there is always an in-group and an out-group. there is always good and evil. this sort of duality is just how things work.

Why do redditors love this Finnish Nazi so much?

>>2585996
because they are western chauvinists that hate Russia and love "muh heckin social democracy" where the n word is the default term for black people

>>2585889
>labour aristocracy
Stop using terms you don't actually know the meaning of. The labour aristocracy as Lenin used it has been ground down to basically nothing in the West.

>>2586002
>tech bros
>middle management class
totally doesnt exist in the west

>>2586004
That's not what the labour aristocracy is. It refers to the leadership and management of the worker's movement that has carved out a niche in bourgeois society for itself. Mainly trade union officials, social democratic party leaders and politicians, etc. Technically speaking India arguably has a larger labour aristocracy than the US.

>>2584742
I think one of the reasons why NK hasn't tried to reunify the peninsula yet (asides from American presence in the south of course) is the ungodly amount of cultural housecleaning they would need to do in their formerly occupied territory.

>>2585956
I think a lot of the discussions about the definition of fascism fall flat because people don't acknowledge that Americans were the proto-fascists and ᴉuᴉlossnW/Hitler got a lot of their inspiration from America and got support from American corporations and industrialists.

>>2585707
>Nice Nazi beloved image nerd.
Pure revisionism. East Germany was objectively anti-Nazi while West Germany was controlled by literal Nazis who were active members in the Nazi Party under Hitler. kys liberal

Its when the bourgeoisie gets to reduce the role of the state to nothing but a massive private enforcer. In order to get people to consent to this cuckery they pick up a random scapegoat. Violence ensues.

I wonder was the "suck it" a commentary on the nature of FGM within the islamic diaspora, especially the somalian communities. If so, the guy's response of "suck what?" makes it that much more poignant.

BE gets hit with the "well why don't you do it then?" and can't come up with an actual answer. Funny how the /usapol/ dynamic plays out elsewhere too.
>>GO SABOTAGE AN ARMS FACTORY OR YOU ARE EVIL!!!!!!!

>>2586497
Fuentes was describing Anglin calling him and being like "hey we should talk more often, like let's talk every week" and trying to establish this rapport with him and, presumably, collect information from him. It seems Fuentes deduced he could not trust this person (gee, really?).
