We're going to equate fascist and right wing now? What about left wing fascists? That list applies to them just as much as the right.
Quote:Quote:The 14 Characteristics of Fascism
by Lawrence Britt
I see #'s 1,3,4,6,7,and 9-13 as bulwark positions of the fascist right.
And the Fascist left. Fascist being the key word.
Quote:#2 is a special case. They are all for "human rights" when we can use it as a weapon against our enemies but when it comes to America well, frankly, they're full of shit and always have an excuse why it doesn't apply here. If North Korea locked someone up forever without trial they'd be on their high-fucking horse about how evil North Korea is. But, Guantanamo Bay? That's apparently "different."
Right, Guantanamo bay is complete bullshit. Again, this is indicative of fascism, not a statement about being left or right.
Quote:#5 is mainly true although they will trot out a few well-known female faces ( you named one of the two most obnoxious cunts, Void, Palin is the other) in order to give their base something to jerk-off to.
And NONE of that is exclusively (or indicative of) the right, it applies to Fascism in general. I'm pretty sure our right wing party in NZ has more women than the centrist Labor party - That is because unlike the US we don't have a huge collection of christians and conservatives with an authoritarian mean streak.
Quote:#8 they would if they could and never stop trying.
They would try in either left or right wing nations, South America is a prime example of that.
Quote:and #14, many believe that they have attained that goal as well.
They aren't exclusively property of the right either, look at Chavez, prime example of hard-left vote rigging.
Of all the one that seem particularly 'right wing' it would be #10, but not because 'organised Labour threatens fascist governments' (because that implies that the only reason you would be against unions is because it threatened power - not the case, particularly if you aren't a right wing fascist) rather Labour unions have the potential to raise the value of labour beyond the point where it is economically viable to employ as many people - What you tend to get in those circumstances is less people (especially in future employment projections) earning more individually and around the same amount collectively.
Seriously, you've falsely equated Fascism with Right wing, no doubt it's all the nutters in the USA who've tainted your vision.
