The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Fascist far left?"

By definition, fascism is a far-right position.

Wikipedia: Fascism - Wikipedia

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]

I'm not aware of a specific term for far-left authoritarians, but those people do exist. "National socialist" is "NAZI", by the way. Far-right again. The author apparently didn't even know that.

It's one thing for you, a face in the crowd, not to know that. We're on a message board. But you expect anyone to take seriously a "journalist/editorialist" who doesn't know that? That link was raving loony. Weaponize government? What do you think DeSantis is doing in FL...or are you going to claim he's a Dem?

If you want to restore sanity, don't vote for Trump. Vote Rep if you must, but not for Trump. He is a threat to our democracy, as he demonstrated already.
