PSA on Fascism vs the other “isms”.

Over the last few years there has been an huge uptick in the use of “fascist” being used to describe the right wing in America. Conservatives, Republicans, right wingers, whatever you want to call them, have been labeled as “fascists” in an effort to demonize them, and this leads quickly to being called an outright “Nazi”. The right wing responds in a predictable manner, resorting to the “no, you” defense. They accuse the left of being the “real fascists”.

This is disappointing for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that this tactic has been tried for years and hasn’t worked. The left has been accusing the right of being racist for decades, and the right just responds by accusing the left of being the “real racists”. In fact, by the true definition of the word, there are very few actual racists in America who are racist against minorities. That’s the only racism anyone with a platform is talking about. When you delve into anti-white racism, then you find that the left are in fact, proudly an publicly, anti-white racist. But that is not what the right wingers with a large platform are saying when they say that the left are the real racists. The right is accusing the left of being exactly what the left is accusing the right of being, which is racist against non-white people. So when the left accuses American conservatives of being “fascist”, conservatives simply accuse the left of being fascist. Guess what? The “no, you” tactic still doesn’t win the day. It’s an unintelligent, lazy, reactive argument, and it sucks.

The second reason this is a disappointing thing to see is because it’s flat out incorrect. The left is not fascist at all. Fascism is an inherently nationalistic ideology. Ultranationalist in fact, according to many scholars, including Henry Ashby Turner, the author of Reappraisals of Fascism. There is absolutely nothing whatsoever about the American left wing that is remotely nationalist in any way. They are Marxist, communist, socialist. Fascism is actually diametrically opposed to Marxism ideologically. The American left wing is certainly heavily authoritarian when it maintains a degree of control in government, and while fascism is an authoritarian system as well, so are many (almost all) other different forms of government. It can be said that all fascist systems are authoritarian, but not all authoritarian systems are fascist. It’s my opinion that finding a government with a hint of nationalist leanings in the Western world is quite possibly impossible.

Of note is the fact that historically speaking, fascism has been opposed to homosexuality and has been known to insist and impose upon society strict gender roles. “War for men and birthing for women”, in one written example. Certainly we can all agree that this is nothing remotely relatable to the modern left wing.

I’m not here trying to promote fascism. I don’t think there are actually any real fascists in the United States, or at least not of any significant number. What I am saying is that the American left wing is a strongly Marxist, communist and socialist movement, and they have been since at least the late 1940’s. They are in no way fascist or nationalist. It’s time to know our enemy and speak their name correctly.

    You can’t find one person in ten thousand that calls people fascist online who can define with any degree of accuracy what fascism really was.

      I read the story linked to your name. Good theory, and it would make a contribution on AP.

    English is a powerful and precise language with great nuance and depth. We should use it to Clearly portray what we mean. Language is important, Newspeak should have no place among us….

    Just call them Cylons. They’re about the same thing and have the same Plan: genocide everyone that isn’t them.
