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

I think fascism is an ideology all in its own and cannot belong to the right or left

Nope, it’s exclusively right.

...

yes exactly, and you are not acknoweledging that it was not just conservatives that supported the Nazi's

you are so one-sided

It is very frustrating to be accused as a Nazi sympathizer when all I am doing is saying that they cannot possibly be far right due to their similarities to the USSR, I have not once said they were not terrible.

Especially when I have not defended them *once*

And besides the USSR still targeted people based on their ethnicities.

*when you are told you are defending Nazism because you defend your party*

I mean can't relate obviously

pshhh

I'm not even a part of the conservative party, she conflated all of the roles on my profile as being that

oh

well

oof

I only lived in the damn country for half a decade

mega rip

wait you are talking about 'mericuh correct?
