What is fascism?

Posted

In last week’s Timberjay, a letter writer said President Joe Biden was acting like “a fascist dictator.” I thought it best just to lay out the 14 points of fascism.
1. Near fanaticism with nationalism.
2. Disdain for individuals human rights.
3. Identification of ethnic enemies.
4. Supremacy of the military.
5. Rampant sexism.
6. Attempted control of mass media.
7. Obsession with security, i.e. walls.
8. Church and state co-mingled.
9. Protection of corporations and the very wealthy.
10. Suppression of labor unions.
11. No respect for art and intellectuals.
12. Obsession with crime and punishment.
13. Widespread corruption and cronyism.
14. Fraudulent elections and claims.
Does this resonate to one of the current people running for President of the United States of America to you? It should. And by the way, Putin’s version of our Air Force One jet plane was seen Friday parked next to Donald Trump’s plane, after Trump’s Friday speech. Coincidence?
