True, but that is difficult because fascism took many forms in Italy, Germany, Spain, and other places, each somewhat unique to the time and place. Common threads among them would be a rejection of modernism including liberalism, democracy, and capitalism. and a belief that everything is subservient to the state and in central planning. The problem is that in the 1930s, that also describes communism. But there we can distinguish the two in one being nationalistic and the other cosmopolitan. A further problem is that at that time, FDR and some in his administration admired fascism and communism for their central planning, an admiration that was mutual.

When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Most of the time I've seen those terms used......especially on this forum...….the authors wouldn't know a racist T Rex if one crawled up their ass and filmed the next Jurassic Park movie. Perhaps there are those who would recognize it when they see it...but they don't post on tpf.
