    Most countries are dictatorships, that does not make them left-wing. Hitler and Mussolini were not left-wing.

    I don't see anything internationalist in Cuba or North Korea.

    Not the difference between fascism and communism. Communism can occur just nationally, and fascism can occur internationally.
    BOTH fascism and communism are forms of socialism.

    To implement it requires an oligarchy or dictatorship. Such oligarchies or dictatorships DO dream of being the World government.
    Indeed, that was the [i[]meaning[/i] of why the swastika was on the Nazi flag! It was there to represent the dream of spreading the dictatorship of Hitler across the entire world, and with it, the fascism and communism that it advocated.

    The right-hand swastika has always represented the outward influence of the temple (or religion) across a society. Indeed, you see this symbol on many temples today...especially in Asia and even in the United States, still carrying it's original meaning.

    All private education is outlawed or severely restricted with strict oversight by the state. Public education is the only system allowed.
    Social scoring systems are in place. Your correct behavior and allegiance to the state are monitored.
    Social norms are required, such as a dress code, heavy regulation of any vice to include smoking, drinking, etc.
    The state wants to raise your children in place of you. That is, your child must go to daycare, then to a public school, then to approved group activities, etc.
    Public transit is pushed heavily because the state controls it.
    If worker's unions are allowed, they are heavily political and hew to the state dogma. They expect their members to do the same.

    Those are typical things a fascist government would do politically to control society.
    Yep. You described GQP indeed.

    Almost all dictatorships are Leftwing. Cuba and N. Korea are Leftwing. They both espouse world domination. This has long been a Communist goal. Hitler and Mussolini were both radical Leftists. You do know that Mussolini and Stalin got along pretty good in the 30's don't you?

    That's Mussolini cooperating with Stalin. The Italians went so far as to help the Soviets (Russians) design and build a whole generation of warships, design and build warplanes, etc. The two cooperated economically and intimately.

    The American version is that Nazi Germany and Fascist Italian are certainly right wing. The GQP aspires to that as we have seen lately.

    The American version of Nazis aren't Nazis. The German Nazis and Hitler would have imprisoned or murdered the whole bunch of them just as they did with Rohm's Sturmabteilung (the Brown Shirts). They represent a threat to the ruling party.

    P.S. Don’t forget to send off for your MyPillows as recommended by the loudmouth in the video.
    fascism isn't always nationalistic.

    right now it's internationalist variant is infecting the minds of many, causing them to declare war on all people in all countries, on behalf of their internationalist oligarch/ finance industry overlords.

    see klaus schwab and the world economic forum.

    anyone who supports the WEF is an internationalist fascist, and it seems to be lefties and disgraced neocons like the cheneys.

    they have dumbed down the definition to just mean anything not anti-national.

    for them, not being a globalist dimwit means one is fascist.

    of course the real definition is the union of corporate and state power. period.



    internationalist fascism is a real thing, and is the paradigm of the current ruling anti-human elites.
