    Why would I care what Wikipedia says when we have literal quotes from the guy that invented the term.

    The complexity is just people trying to skirt around the truth that they live in a fascist society. But, just for shits and giggles let’s explore it.

    “totalitarian, nationalist ideology emphasizing the absolute supremacy of the State, rejecting liberalism, democracy, and individualism for a collective, hierarchical society focused on national power, glory, and unity, organized corporatist-style with state control over economy and industry, built on myth, militarism, and the cult of the strong leader.”

    Wow, so basically the US was fascist before we had a word for it. The founding fathers were definitely proto-fascists.

    Oh yes, most of the world is definitely fascist as well. Did you miss the US toppling tons of nations and installing dictators?

    If 90% + of all policy in all governments are written by corporations that pretty much seals it.

    Liberalism, democracy, equality, etc. are just propaganda created by fascist nations to justify their existence to the people who don’t know better. Propaganda is one hell of a drug.

      Thanks for clarifying what your definition is. Pretty much includes any form of government throughout history. Is this an anarchist’s pov?
