What is the right checklist to use when determing the fascist nature of a movement? Again, I am not saying “fascism” is the right word for Political Islam, just wondering why it is a self-evident thing to think the word “islamo-fascism” is absurd, whereas calling Israel fascist is ok.
Hey, I’m consistent - I wouldn’t call Israel fascist either. A
country, no matter how aggressive and nationalist, with a free press
and regular elections isn’t fascist.
