#goddamnitkongwee 10,566 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 In other word, the liberals failure policies and ideology bring the uprise of fascist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittany 8,837 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I see nothing fascist about the guy. Neither nationalism, populism, nor isolationism mean fascism. Fascism requires economic collectivism. Trump is more of a corporatist in the capitalistic sense (which some might argue as being part of fascism, but Trump looks like he'd admire the likes of Ayn Rand more than Mussolini).

PeteNelson 907 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Even suggesting Trump is fascist requires ignorance of history, politics, and economics. He's nothing of the sort. You may not like him and may not like his policies - that doesn't make him a fascist, and saying he is just makes the word meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solfa 7,163 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Trump is just not powerful enough to be a fascist, American system is stronger than you might give credit for. Also, comparing America to post-WWI Germany or current Turkey or Eastern European countries is disingenuous, those countries were and are in a transitional period, which is always a difficult period of adjustment when things can go either right or wrong depending on how it's handled. South Korea and Japan are examples where they transitioned well, but Turkey? May I remind you that Turkey has had coup-d'etats on regular basis since the creation of modern state by Ataturk?

Pinkika 446 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This must be the most rational thread on OH in a while. Even suggesting Trump is fascist requires ignorance of history, politics, and economics. He's nothing of the sort. You may not like him and may not like his policies - that doesn't make him a fascist, and saying he is just makes the word meaningless. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
