the 14 signs of fascism chopped and misstated from Eco

Republicans aren't fascists

However, both Republicans and Democrats are Statists. Both believe that government is the most important agency or institution in society.

Of course they are. Bush lied about the war and 9/11 and had thousands killed. Michael Moore speaks the truth. And all that other crap

Politicians of all parties have lied about war and peace. What about FDR? He lied through his teeth about wanting to keep the U.S. out of what become WW2.

What about Abraham Lincoln? He not only lied, he also had opposition journalists thrown in jail without the benefit of habeous corpus.

A Disclosure of Motive by the OP

there is a rather silly , trivial uncritical use of the word fascist by centrists and liberals
to villify anything on the right they don't like on the right (especialy when it involves force).
i.e. I called Bills wife a fascist.

the more common and alarming trend is to hear it from people on the far-right
to describe things and people that just are not fascist.

It dilutes and distorts the meaning of the word and I feel leaves us open to actual fascism.

also it makes the user of it sound like a moron and thus undermines any valid criticism the user may have
so I posted the list so that all folks of any political fetish, could see a better defination and not look so stupid.

also since I am always right it is to my advantage that correct reality based definations and logic are used.
They are to my advantage.
