Another joyous find. Lenny Lanphar writes:
fascism 1. A philosophy or governmental system marked by stringent
socioeconomic control, a strong central government usu. headed by a
dictator, and often a belligerently nationalistic policy. 2.
Oppressive, dictatorial control.
Apparently someone else, besides me, knows the true definition of
Fascism, beyond it's modern day slur usage as a liberal pavlovian hate
word like "McCarthyism" and "Bircher" (both of which are slurs I were
with pride, because they actually stand for something good, as opposed
to fascism or nazisim whichare leftist ideas). Fascism is in its
essence, a kissing twin of Socialism, which is of course the same thing
as "Liberalism"/Progressiveism. It is a system of government that
attempts to control everything that goes on in an entire country, and is
thus by definition a leftist ideology. Conservatism or Classical (true)
Liberalism is a ideology of the right which believes in the old motto
"Less government, more responsibility, and...with God's help...a better
world."
So in the future, when all of you leftisits out there who want to slur
us do so, please use proper terminology, like calling us pro Liberty, or
anti-totalitarians. But then of course, you would tip your hand that
you are really a bunch of totalitarian control freaks who would like
nothing better than to control every person's mind and actions, just
like in George Orwell's 1984.
