Afraid not ace.
Fascism or corporatism is a system where the state bank, trade unions, and corporate management control industry.
Where you get “statism” from I don’t know since all forms of socialism aim for a stateless society in which the state has withered away.
Likewise all socialism aims for the abolition of capitalism.
Leftists claim fascism is “right wing” since Italy was a monarchy and in Europe right wing means monarchist.
Nazism and Leninism both eliminated unions, an essential element of fascism, and Nazi Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union all relied on the use of armed force.
The US being both anti-monarchist and capitalist is in no way “fascist”.

Liberals are totalitarianism thugs...
Krugman’s suspects the truth which is why he’s digging in for white liberal ‘elite’ thugs. He’s scared.
One would think an economist would know that Fascism is kind of socialism featuring the blending of government power with the private sector, particularly the most powerful in the private sector, and that the work to increase the control of government and the power of the private side. It’s an unhealthy symbiotic relationship where each does the work normally forbidden to the other.
That is the very definition of the Democratic Party.
Tech deplatforms Trump and kills Parler, government gives them legal protection and gives them lucrative contracts. Fascism, Krugman should know.
Republicans must do what Ronald Reagan said, when dealing with leftist hippie/radicals in Berkeley, 1969 / 70:
NO MORE APPEASEMENT!!!!
And He Didn’t!!!! He busted their rotten asses!!!!
Donald Trump, however, is indeed a fascist — an authoritarian willing to use violence to achieve his racial nationalist goals
Sheesh! How many lies can Krugman fit in one sentence? He may have set a record.
If President Trump and his 75 to 80 million American supporters really were fascist, wouldn’t Krudman already be dead?
Interested in hearing Levin’s response. Something along the lines of “get off the phone you dope”?
Fascism is LEFT wing. Assigning it to the RIGHT is part of the big lie.
Fixed it...
