    No, you just made a likely bad faith argument he couldn’t be bothered to engage with.

    There has been a rise in far-right parties in many countries, many of which don’t officially label themselves as fascist for plausible deniability, while spouting clearly fascist rhetoric. Their current scapegoats of choice include (but are not limited to) immigrants and lgbtq people.

    But if you’re not being disingenuous, what do you think fascism is?

      Extremist organizations exist always and everywhere - what both of you fail to understand is that they’re very small (although sometimes loud) minorities.

      what do you think fascism is?

      A totalitarian movement in pre ww2 Italy, that killed a lot of people.

      What do you think it is?

        They’ve been winning elections.🤦

        Your definition is very narrow sighted and not really meaningful. Fascism is not just a “movement”, it’s an ideology; identifying the specifics can be slippery, but there are many values, rhetoric and tactics keep coming up. Umberto Eco’s definition of “Ur-Fascism” is.a good start.
