Examples of Fascism:

  • Funding "Israel"s genocidal "war"
  • Funding dictators (ex: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc)
  • Tax breaks for the wealthy in exchange for favors
  • Compromising on the civil liberties of minorities
  • Allowing states to establish Fascism
  • Normalizing Fascist positions (ex: border, security, defense, etc)
  • Actively fighting actural Leftists because they make the capitalist class feel uncomfortable

By your logic the US banning slavery was authoritarian

i mean, that wouldn't be authoritarian, if it had popular sentiment, and was cast into law by popular sentiment more broadly. And yknow, also went through the congress, and the executive, and most of the rest of the federal government. But nope we don't know how the US federal government works here so we pretend like it works otherwise.

authoritarianism is a specific brand of dictatorship.
