There was a time when the lefties were inspired by the slogan, "Question Authority".

Somewhere along the line it morphed into them wanting to grant government complete authority in all aspects of life.

Fascism is what happens when the respectable class doesn’t stop the rioting leftist degenerates. Jonah Goldberg wrote a clever book about “liberal fascism”, but he had to change the definition to make it work. Leftists are not “facists”. They are violent, they bully, but they are not fascists.

It is a very dangerous thing that the world’s default search engine is run by leftists. “Google it” is even part of the language. It’s Orwellian.

Re-defining fascism as on the Right has been one of the Left’s most successful propaganda moves.

The Left's Orwellian assault on the truth is not limited to corruption of the language, but extend to a total distortion of historical and contemporary events.

In today's battle for the future of America, one side is calling the other side "Nazis" and "Fascists."

But to determine the truth, shouldn't we compare each side to the actual historical groups who called themselves "Nazis" and "Fascists."

Both Hitler's Nazis and Mussolini's Fascist gained power by:
- Crashing and disrupting their opponents' political rallies
- Violently shutting down attempts of their opponents to speak publicly
- Taking over college campuses and demanding ideological compliance and the removal of opposition faculty and students
- And many other similar methods we can see today across our country.

But which of today's groups are displaying Nazi and Fascist behavior?
Was it Trump supporters (backed by his campaign) who were sent to disrupt Hillary rallies?
Was it Trump supporters who went to riot in Berkeley to stop a speaker?
Is it Trump supporters who have been driving free speech and those who dare engage in it off America's campuses?

Who are the Nazis and Fascists?

Haven’t used Google in years. There are many more search engines out there that simply “search”, not redefine English, or set agendas.

Just for grins I went to look at the Wikipedia definition. It’s even worse than Google’s. And when was it updated?

I looked it up too. There is a “feedback” button on the site. I clicked the “this definition is wrong” choice. You can also leave comments. Go for it Freepers!

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ ’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.” ― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

"Many members of the mainstream media have unquestioningly adopted the new Google meaning without explaining why, leaving their audience with the impression that speech or advocacy contrary to liberal orthodoxy is fascistic when, by definition, it is not."

By blindly adopting this new definition, media has been successful in accomplishing two things:

1.) Making conservatives out to be the "nazis" and the "fascists" and therfor;

2.) The true nazis and fascists of the left are completely justified in committing acts of extreme violence and physical assualt to prevent conservatives from excersizing their constitutionally protected right to free assembly and speech.

The legacy media and the political left in the USA are not interested in open debate or the free exchange of ideas. They demand total compliance to their ideology, and are more than willing to force that compliance by whatever means they see fit.

Fascism is defined as national socialism - I.e. Socialism within one nation .

Communism is defined as socialism across multiple nations .

It’s the Clintons, Obama’s and the like who are closest to BOTH of these definitions

I’ve often used www.dictionary.com when I want a definition in a hurry. For the record, here is their definition of ‘fascist’ which sounds to be pretty much in lockstep with google....

1. a person who believes in or sympathizes with fascism.

2. (often initial capital letter) a member of a fascist movement or party.

3. a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right-wing views.

Word Origin and History for fas-cist

1921, from Italian partito nazionale fascista, the anti-communist political movement organized 1919 under Benito Mussolini (1883-1945); from Italian fascio “group, association,” literally “bundle” (see fasces ).

With fascism, originally used in English in its Italian form, as an Italian word. [Fowler: “Whether this full anglicization of the words is worth while cannot be decided till we know whether the things are to be temporary or permanent in England” — probably an addition to the 1930 reprint, retained in 1944 U.S. edition.] Fasci “groups of men organized for political purposes” had been a feature of Sicily since c.1895, and the 20c. totalitatrian sense probably came directly from this, but influenced by the Roman fasces, which became the party symbol.

Go check out the definition of “fascism” on the Merriam-Webster site.

Go read the expanded definitions for English Learners and the definition for Kids. (Bottom of the Merriam-Webster page.)

Time to purchase hard copy books.

The digital sources cannot be trusted.
