It is an interesting and complicated topic. I’m not necessarily in favor of 1930s fascism but I do think the world has changed in ways that make even a constitutional republic (not that we really even have one anymore) unworkable.

In many ways China appears more fascist now than communist. The Chinese people are largely proud ethno-nationalists and poised to take over the world in the real relatively near future.

How will the US resist this rising power when we’re busy babysitting and appeasing our population of retarded entitled minorities ?

When it comes down to it, authoritarianism is authoritarianism. Communism is just a more feminine version more inspired by France's socialism and fascism has more masculine attributes.

For all intents and purposes though those differences tend to be merely different styles to the effect of basing whether Stalin was good or bad on if he supported driving on the right or left side of the road while ignoring him driving onto the pavement.

A lot of people mistake knowing something about it for knowing what's wrong with it. With any political system or anything involving people there's so much that can go wrong.

When we look at fascism or communism they really tend to converge on the same thing. There's usually some unreasonable position and the only way they can get that is through total power, force, even if the unreasonable position is total power itself.

The unreasonable position for the modern left started with open borders and mass immigration. Because what they're doing is wrong the only way they can sustain it is through force. Immigration is an absolute for them, an imperative, deterministic.

When you study systems like socialism they also demand determinism and you see that's not compatible with dynamic systems like democracy. At some point something has to give and that's why you're rapidly losing your democracy. I wouldn't classify the USA as a democratic country any longer.

It's trying to be but is in denial. When the dominant system has such an imperative, and it's the left wing that is dominant and democratic result that would produce a different outcome such as lower levels of immigration will not be valid, it doesn't take precedence.

At this point I'd say that the USA going through the motions of a democratic process just to keep up appearance is causing more harm and more suffering then if they were openly autocratic and dictatorial. I think what the USA is doing now running elections that don't mean anything is far more sadistic and cruel.
