I’m starting to figure out what’s going on here. I’m arguing with an arrogant liberal. I shouldn’t be wasting my time, but I’ll try to educate you on the basics.

In a nutshell, fascism is a political system in which the government allows private industry to operate and make a profit, but is very heavy-handed in meddling in their operations and practices. Fascists tend to be very hard on smaller businesses. And modern liberalism obviously has a lot in common with fascism.
Uuuuum... no. You don't understand fascism *at all*. Do you always spout off on things you're desperately ignorant of? Do you even know what a "fasces" is? Or where the term "fascism" came from?

It would be good for you to give the definition of fascism that you are using. The word has been so misused, it’s meaning is no longer clear.

Oh, Lordy. Now were into pedantic word derivations. At one time I knew all about the derivation of the word “fascism,” but I forgot it, and it is completely and utterly irrelevant to the current discussion.
