If you are a conservative, you believe in minimal government intervention into the free market. If you are a fascist, you most certainly do *not* believe that. So as far as economics is concerned, you cannot be both conservative and fascist. But you can certainly be both “liberal” (modern sense) and fascist. It’s really about as simple as that.No you can't. Modern "liberals" fundamentally *cannot* be fascist. Just as conservatism can't be fascist because it doesn't believe in state intervention, liberals don't believe in fetishizing the past, an necessary condition for fascism. How many times do we have to go over this?
“Modern “liberals” fundamentally *cannot* be fascist.”
Baloney. Look at how willing so-called “liberals” are to take away your children and put them in foster care if you do not conform to their standards for raising children.
Look at how willing “liberals” are to confiscate your land if a puddle forms on it!
Hell, they just outlawed incandescent bulbs, for crying out loud. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to use the kind of bulb I want? Free market, my ass. (I actually use CFLs, but it’s the principle here.)
Sorry, but your statement displays an astounding level of ignorance. What are you doing here on FR?
You are in error. Fascism at its heart is an economic system. The State lets you own private property; it just tells you what you can do with it.
There is nothing inherent about fascism that "fetishizes" the past.
