The left currently does the bidding of International Banking, Big Tech, Big Pharma and soon Big Agriculture (it's the next step). You think this is clown world? Wait until the left is doing the bidding of Bayer (previously Monsanto). The new named company will be enough for leftists to refuse to accept they're on Monsanto's side.
I can't wait. I'll just enjoy the end of western civilization as best I can in the meantime.
This is why calling fascist is accurate. "Lucrative merger between corporation and state." and "Everything inside the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state"
Half right. If you read into Fascism, you'd understand the left are not fascists. They have taken a page out of the economic playbook of fascists but they don't adhere to much else in the doctrine.
In actuality, the modern left is a mix between Feudalism, Fascism, Communism and Capitalism. It essentially took the worst from all of them and put them together to be honest.
Trying to compare the modern left to historic ideologies can be useful but it also leads people astray. They are very much their own new political ideology that need to be stopped.
That's fair but I think it's important for conservatives to realize how much they actually have in common with fascists also. The left doesn't vilify fascism as much as it does because they themselves are fascist. Antifa didn't start as a military wing of the communists because communism and fascism were the same thing (a conclusion right-wingers like to draw). There are significant differences.
One way to look at it is that Fascists understand natural law and attempt to use authoritarian means of the government to create a social structure that adheres to natural law. Communists on the other hand reject natural law and attempt to use authoritarian means to create an outcome that goes against natural law. Right-wingers of the type who consider themselves MAGA tend to be classical liberals or libertarians who generally speaking wish to create a society that follows natural law by having as little government as possible except to counter gross inequities (that often have a detrimental impact on society as a whole), thus the outcome will mimic natural law since little influence besides nature exists. Thus to an outsider, fascism and libertarians look similar in outcome, even if they are very different in liberty from government.
Fascism cuts both ways though. For example, most people here think that big tech should not be able to censor people, and want the government to step in and make it illegal. That's technically fascism; it's definitely not libertarianism. Of course they do all these mental gymnastics to try and justify it ("muh public square!") but it's fascism none the less. So, I say, we embrace fascism, and just make sure we're the ones that benefit from it.
Sike, they both were always the party of big business. Republicans always pretended they wanted small government and promoted small business then made a bunch of backroom deals and regulations that benefited big business. Democrats always pretended they cared about the people then expanded government and gave away all the money to big businesses.

This is exactly correct.
They don't have a name yet for what this new "ism" is. It is unique, with so many factions all in on the game.
We can just call them Tyrants for simplicity's sake.
Well said and prior to the 1800s, they would have simply been called tyrants.
Good take, completely agree. I get tired of the words, just want people to understand how much they have in common with the fascists

Leftism is a CULT, that's the closest comparison you can get, also the only approach to understand why they're so out of touch with reality.
The real swapping of the political parties.
The Republicans were the party of big business and the Democrats were the party of the little guy, lol. Wtf.
