What is fascism?
Fascism is deleted threads.
Fascism is scorning difference.
Fascism is the deletion of human rights to some; and extra rights to the few.
Fascism is the political and logical extension of racism.
Fascism is the concentration camp, and the slave market.

This will be moved and locked too unless you actually present something open for discussion?
As for complaints I recommend complaining in the appropriate “feedback” area.

None of the above is "nonesense".
Please show your evidence!

Re: What is fascism?
Is “fascism” all that you’ve listed above or only a certain accumulative number of them? Is it necessary for someone to be racist in order to be called a “fascist” or is the prejudice more broadly applicable?

I like how you started your own thread dealing with the main question I posed in another thread with another title.
This title is cleaner.
We could all chip in...with meditations along the lines of ' Love is...'

Re: What is fascism?
Number three above leads me to say that fascism is the positing of an array of interconnected ideals, then making the ideals the norms and aggressively enforcing them as norms. Aggressively as in with direct physical force, with laws, with mob social pressure and with shaming. Shame seems central to fascism. There are not a variety of ways to be a proper human, there are at most 2 ways, one for women, one for men. There's something oddly Platonic about fascism.ThomasHobbes wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 9:16 am Fascism is censorhip.

Indeed. There's a good reason why Karl Popper named Plato as an enemy of the Free Society.Karpel Tunnel wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 10:24 amNumber three above leads me to say that fascism is the positing of an array of interconnected ideals, then making the ideals the norms and aggressively enforcing them as norms.

Hate is easy to understand; that makes fascism easy to understand.
It is not misused; it's use is abuse.

Same to you too.Karpel Tunnel wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 10:26 am I realize, TH, that you are not in authority here. IOW you are not a moderator. But scorning difference in thought at least seems a fair summation of a significant minority of your posts.
The difference is being deleted. I don't delete the thoughts of others. But when it comes to the promotion of fascism I scorn that, and would recommend others do the same.

Re: What is fascism?
I have had many posts deleted myself, both before modding and since. Calling that fascism effectively dismisses the claims of those suffering under actual fascism as trivial through false equivalence.

You asked me for a thoughtful post of fascism. I made that post. It was deleted.Greta wrote: ↑October 21st, 2018, 4:26 pm What a lot of sulking. People have their posts removed on forums all the time.
