“Fascist” requires extreme, centralized, governmental control.

The Nazis used a hybrid form of socialism and crony capitalism. Italians were more state/crony control.

But it could be any form of government with state control: communism, socialism, even a monarchy.

Trump, love him or hate him, has weakened the Federal government. That could be bad if you don’t like it. (I think it’s great.)

But whatever it is, it’s not fascism.

Ever read Mussolini’s quotes? There was nothing different between fascism and Marxism.

“God does not exist. Religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease.” — 1924

“Fascism establishes the real equality of individuals before the nation… the object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people… What does ‘social justice’ mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes; it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement. Nor is this enough. It means that the workers must enter more and more intimately into the productive process and share its necessary discipline… As the past century was the century of capitalist power, the twentieth century is the century of power and glory of labor.” — 1935

“When the war is over, in the world’s social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth’s riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances. ” — 1941

Same thing, but different label.

I agree with you. I don’t see how all these lefties and Gullibles think he is fascist! They just keep repeating it but it makes no sense.
