> so rules are facist?

No, In my earlier post I explained exactly what sort of rule is fascist and what isnt... I made this clear and I know your a smart guy, but that means you just applied reductivism in bad faith in an attempt to argue  in an intellectually dishonest way... Dont do that, you are better than that.

Rules that are

1) Having lots of them is more authoritative than trying to have the bare minimum needed... Having rules isnt authoritative, but when you feel you need to make rules for **everything** then it is more authoritative than a party which tries to find social solutions

2) When those rules carry with them harsh penalties they become more authoritative also.. Both the democrats and republicans right now support the death penalty for example. So both are very much authoritative in the severity they are willing to attach to their rules as well.
