    There has been a shinning example of Fascism in the US since it’s creation.

    Yes. Mussolini didn’t invent it… he just gave it a convenient name for us to use. What we call “fascism” today was birthed by colonialist brutality long before it’s vicious logic was applied to the populations of the newly-minted imperial core.

    This is why all the (so-called) “definitions” of fascism offered by liberals is so risible - they conveniently forget about fascism’s intimate links with imperialism (and therefore liberalism - the preferred ideology of colonisers) and merely try to write it off as some “aberration” of otherwise “perfect” western civilisation.
