Why do people need Rump to be fascist? - Lemmy.World

I have made multiple times the argument that Tramp is definitionally not fascist! And instead of a singular argument, I only received hurdles of insults and bans… Do people understand that despite no nazi things being good, bad things can be bad without being nazi? Edit: I understand the diff between nazism and fascism, I assume that others need Trump to be a nazi…

Fascism ≠ naziism. Trump is a fascist, wannabe dictator, who is slowly working his way from wanna be, to full on.

Fascism is: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

All things that trump is doing

Yea? How is he centralizing government? How is he regulating industries? How is the opposition being suppressing violently?

He is racist and his parties rhetoric does run on nationalism but that doesn’t make him fascist…

I bet you can’t actually define fascism without actually describing the trump admin without either going SUPER far out of your way, lying, or just giving a wrong definition.

Any accurate definition of fascism and the description of what this regime is doing is a venn diagram that’s mostly overlapped.

Argument I made before:

Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader (kinda one tick, he wants to be but isn’t), centralized autocracy (nope, he holds no absolute authority), militarism (no, he only wants to conquer and can’t even do that), forcible suppression of opposition (nope), belief in a natural social hierarchy (nupe), subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race (nope, only his interest), and strong regimentation of society and the economy (hahaha, no)

Hahahahaha, thank you for proving my point.

Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader (kinda one tick, he wants to be but isn’t),

He’s controlling the party messaging and unlawfully making governmental changes, so you’re wrong

centralized autocracy (nope, he holds no absolute authority),

He’s actively working towards this, his party controls all branches to government and all branches are bending to his will, so again you’re pretty wrong

militarism (no, he only wants to conquer and can’t even do that),

He’s actively saber rattling and is doing military parades, so another check against you

forcible suppression of opposition (nope),

He deports people speaking out for Palestine

belief in a natural social hierarchy (nupe),

Fucking LOL

subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race (nope, only his interest),

Hes throwing people out of the country to get rid of undesirables to mAkE aMeRiCa GrEaT,

and strong regimentation of society and the economy (hahaha, no)

Do you even think about the points you’re making?

Social regimentation involves state control over a society’s values, norms, and individual liberties, which is something he’s actually doing.

So yeah, you can’t make the argument without describing the trump regime or lying, like I said before.

And those arguments are false at best.
