We have a hard time calling communism and Marxism by their names these days. It’s like there’s been a concerted effort to make fascism the ultimate Boogeyman, when it hasn’t played prominently on the world stage in about 75 years. I think it has to do with the origins of the ideologies. Labelling these people the wrong type of authoritarians will not shame them. It has no impact on them at all.
The “reasoning” is ‘Fascists did lots of bad stuff, therefore, all doers of bad stuff are fascists.’ That’s stupid.
Antifa are the real fascists! Derp.
The whole point of the article shows that the fascist charge is not a label, but rooted in German history as a history lesson. It is the oft used comparison between greens and communism that is the false label and esoteric since it was based on super industry and the massive industrialization from the peasantry controlled by the old tsars into a humanistic world of atheism that has little to do with nature worship.
