She’s talking about the population density of fascists. America is first and China is last
Wtf are you talking about? China is also fascist, although in different ways.
No they aren’t and you should go read some of Robert Paxton’s books on fascism if you think they are.
China is indeed not fascist.
It is just an authoritarian police state with a smidge of genocide.
No arguments here. They are an authoritarian police state. Fascism is a specific ideology and thet aren’t pursuing it yet
You're right, it's missing some elements of fascism, while maintaining others. If you'd like to split hairs, I guess it matters. Either way, both nations are Fascist-Light
I’d argue America is going to be fascist soon but China isn’t attempting it.
It’s sad how few people understand fascism compared to how many think they do.
