I’m always amazed how few people know about Gamergate. It’s not only the key to understanding so many violent harassment campaigns going on today, it’s lots of the same people angry about the same stuff using the same playbook.
Well yeah, the lines are very blurred between fascists and natsocs, natsocs and nazbols, nazbols and tankies.
But that definition is genuinely almost as retarded as your average Trump supporter, for other reasons.
Fascism is a revolutionary ideology in a way that doesn't fit well into the left-right political pigeonholing (which is why both sides can reasonably link Nazism to the other side).
The disctionary's definition isn't correct by political science standards, but that's not how it's used mostly. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive.
That's a retarded view espoused by people who don't understand anything about political science other than what random retards on the internet say is supported by political science.
Any serious political scientist knows that fascism is third-positionist, not traditionally conservative or leftist. This is something even Wikipedia will tell you.
When Wikipedia or political scientists go on to say that fascism is considered to be generally far-right on the traditional left-right spectru, they are referring to orthodox implementations of fascism and common concepts such as strict social hierarchy and nationalism. It does not mean that fascism is not third-positionist, however, and ignores thign slike fascist economic views.
To claim so is a complete misunderstanding of the context of political theory, and casts aside import left-leaning fascist-adjacent or fascist-ancestor ideologies such as Syndicalism. It also sets aside very real leftist influences upon fascism and third-positionism, such as the lack of a free market and view of bourgeois as undesirable and an enemy of the people.
Which is why some scholars, like Paxton, have argued that fascism isn't so much a coherent ideology or a common definable world view, as it is a set of political behaviors
What you have done is linked to a Redditor's interpretation of Paxton's work rather than Paxton's work itself.
But yes, obviously fascism is a rather fluid ideology, since fascists generally only care about one thing - e.g. the survival/dominance of their race/nation in a social darwinist struggle between nations - and every policy is chosen out of pragmatism to achieve that goal.
You must love your George Soros plushie, don't you? And your anti-defamation league wallpaper, too.

They're not sending their best, folks. I think that's my favourite bit about them. They say it's a never ending campaign rally for Trump but it's actually just a bunch of people arguing about who passes their insane ideological purity tests and accusing each other of being shills.

Mussolini was literally a Socialist.
1 TheLordHighExecu 2018-11-18
He was, but then the other socialists bullied him too hard, so he rounded them up in his high school revenge fantasy of a regime.
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-11-18
Mama mia!! Didn't knew Mussolini was a r/braincel poster 🤣
1 AlveolarPressure 2018-11-18
If we called everyone who was a socialist when they were young a socialist forever, there would be a lot of socialists lmao.

Neo-conservatism has its roots in the ideas of some disaffected Trotskyists, that doesn't make neo-conservatives Marxists

The only thing both sides agree on is books are evil works of the wrongthinkers.

Unless they agree with you, for example the Little Red Book and Maoist China.

The Wikipedia article is actually pretty informative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Reactionary_or_revolutionary?

lol, Paxton makes it pretty clear in the anatomy of fascism. That post wasn't incorrect.
1 pisserpatterwater 2018-11-18
I mean, authoritarian communism is definitely fascist.
1 alexmikli 2018-11-18
Fascism is closer to Stalinism and Maoism than other right wing ideologies like Absolute Monarchism

Finally, we have a policy plank Trump supporters can agree on: prescriptive linguistics.

It's the Oxford dictionary you provincial twat.

Yes, thank you for explaining the obvious joke. The Oxford dictionary is published by Oxford University, and has been for almost 200 years.
