it would help if you acknowledged what fascism is.
They just took over the government
I have already laid out the definition of fascism
also them not getting to that part doesn't mean that wasn't their intent
and I have as well
I categorically disagree with your characterization of fascism
...right it was a right wing populist movement
Weren't the communist fascists too then?
No
yes
So you disagree with the actual definition of fascism then?
That was a left wing populist movement
the USSR was fascist
I think there is a linguistic disconnect here.
I don’t believe you have provided a definition of fascism that is accurate
?
You can search on google and find my definition
I did and found my definition.
Stalin did kill his political opponents
That’s not the definition of fascism @Katze Miaulitzer
You guys are effectively using the same ass definition
@Cobra Commander you can dm me if you want to discuss further
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Sure I can agree with that
That applies to Hitler’s government and not Stalin’s
Now again, I’m out of here.
Stalin had a personality cult just like Hitler though
I can give a list of at least 5 different parts of the Soviet Union that aligns perfectly with each part of that definition of Fascism
You’re missing race
And the USSR has engaged in ethnic cleanses similarly to the Nazi's
The race part is crucial
It was still not an ethnostate
They were killing based on ideology which they targeted on race
Anyway I’m sincerely out lol
The idea that fascism and communism are the same thing is just something fascists say to muddy the waters
It casts suspicion on your whole argument’s motives to suggest that fascism is somehow *not* a right wing ideology
I have not stated they are the same
Some basic historical facts have to be agreed upon before any reasonable discussion is engaged in
Peace
