Oddbean new post about login | logout Authoritarianism doesn’t seem too much different between the two… which is at the heart of fascism. Yes but I think there needs to be private sector cooperation with authoritarian activities in order to call someone a legitimate modern fascist. I think #JacindaArdern and #RonDesantis are good examples of this.
@realcaseyrollins ✝️ Why is it only authoritarian if it comes from corperations? So if you have a communistic society where no corperations exist, all just the government.. communism cant be authoritative? That doesnt track. @ef3c2bd1
So if you have a communistic society where no corperations exist, all just the government I do think that would be fascism too. Fascism usually has the state take over private enterprises, or force them to do what they want, which aren’t effectually that much different from each other.
@realcaseyrollins ✝️ I think you are confusing specific examples of facism vs facism as a concept (which can take any form)... The definition of facism is: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition @ef3c2bd1
I see. That’s what I get for getting my definition of fascism from #Wikipedia!
@realcaseyrollins ✝️ Yea dictionaries are usually better as wikipedia isnt trying to define a word, its trying to explain its history, which are slightly different things. @ef3c2bd1
