[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fascism is a total failure when it comes to killing millions of people. At best, the fascist tally is perhaps 15 million.

Compare that to socialism/communism’s total of 100 million.

Fascists are pikers when it comes to filling mass graves. [/quote]

Oh please.  That is so intellectually dishonest. You’re comparing 100 years of communist regimes to a dozen years of Nazi rule. Under the Nazis, 15 million were murdered (and that’s not even counting the 71 million civilian and military deaths directly caused by the Axis powers during WWII). How many more would have been killed if the Nazis had stayed in power for 100 years?[/quote]

1) had the Nazis *won*, the war would’ve also ended. That’s what happens when one side WINS a war - the war stops. So it’s pretty disingenuous of you to extrapolate the continuation of deaths attributed to being lost fighting a war to go on at the same rate after the END of the war.

2) I was counting the US as a “fascist” state for the first 4 years of Trump’s first term, and the current 10 months of Trump’s second term - because people like you insist he’s a fascist so I’m humoring you. And in almost 5 years of a US fascist government, we haven’t filled even a single mass grave with the enemies of the administration.

Trump really sucks at this whole “fascism” thing. [/quote]

Did you forget the "tomorrow the world" part? Hitler's goal was not just to establish his Aryan paradise, but to capture resources from the rest of the world and exterminate/enslave whoever was needed to accomplish that goal. Spain and Italy would have been his friends, perhaps, and Arab countries and Japan, and they would have divvied up the entirety.

Fascism is certainly not just about mass graves. And it requires ostensibly [b]using the tools of law and government (but distorting their intent and choosing particular targets) to accomplish its repression. Extorting law firms and universities, threatening media via the use of regulatory agencies--while EXPLICITLY carrying out policies that oppose existing law and the constitution.[/b] [/quote]

So, basically what the Biden administration did during the covid pandemic? Coercing tech companies to censor and de-platform anyone who posted opinions contrary to the govt health talking points? Using OSHA to strong arm private industry into requiring employees to get vaccinated? Outlawing some freedom of assembly like church attendance, but allowing it for protesting?

You’re right -  we HAVE seen a taste of what fascism looks like in this country. And it wasn’t Trump that brought it to us.  [/quote]

Please open a textbook and learn what fascism is.  It is not temporary measures taken to combat a public health emergency.  Had the government not taken action, and allowed Covid to burn through the population, there would have been many more mass graves.[/quote]
