If the SJW movement never occurred between 2012 and 2016 would liberals still call Trump a fascist?
Source? That seems very unlike Clinton.
It was, the corporative state was based on non-Marxist readings of Hegel and national-syndicalism, and had a rich intellectual tradition. It's no more inconsistent than many other syncretic and eclectic ideologies, neoliberalism with leftist characteristics being one example I can think of. It's no wonder the petit-bourgeois Western intellectuals don't like to see the mirror of themselves in the architects of the some of the worst regimes in history, and thus diluted the epithet almost at its infancy, and in doing so obscured their own role in rebuilding it again forever.
The liberals calls ANYONE they don't like "Fascist"
Everything they are saying about Trump now is the exact same thing they said to Nixon, Reagan and the two Bushes… they can't even come up with original stuff.
You are being autistic contrarian. Period.
Nazi, just like the rest of the gang - from Spain to Baltics - were undeniably Fascist, their own opinion (or Liberal nonsense) notwithstanding. Arguing against that puts you together either with (old) Right or with New Right (SJWs).
It's a minority view that they weren't technically Fascist, but still an arguable one. In any case, the reason people care so much for the semantics of it is its emotive power as a term rather than dutiful historiographical taxonomy, which is my point.
This would be booed out of Congress today by the Democrats.
