It’s only fringe when you’re that far out on the right.

Read your own posts on this forum. Thats what we mean by fully support.
That’s not a definition. Why so coy?
Trust me on this. You will get the answer you seek when you read all the posts you have made.
Not sure it’s fascism as most people are familiar with but it’s most definitely a hybrid.
Actually google isn’t our friend.

Why play games? Don’t be ashamed.
That maybe the case, but the right is doing the same exact thing.
Both sides of the aisle want power. You’re being disingenuous and politically bias if you can sit there an type only one side is doing what you have typed above. Hell, even this board and many like it is an example…say something that folks don’t like, get flagged then what happens? silenced
Don’t project.
Im not the one asking another person to define “fully support”
Ya totallyz
There are good people on both sides
I love how cons now love and pray for low fed rates
And bad people as well. I find the obsession with ANTIFA hard to fathom. ANTIFA is a small group with no actual support in the progressive movement. Perhaps they are such an object of attention because they provide a counterweight to the much larger number of violent right wing terrorist organizations.
If we wanted to have a serious discussion of the anti-democratic tendencies in the left, then we should focus on the strain of leftism that is calling free speech into question. I trace this back to the work of feminists like Cathleen McKinnon who made the argument that speech equates to action and therefore we should no longer accept the distinction that hostile talk is protected by the 1st Amendment but hostile behavior is not. This is the root from which the various campus efforts to ban speakers has arisen.
Such thinking does not characterize “the left” as a whole – its a subject of active debate in the left. And there clearly is a comparable authoritarian strain on the right.
It could be worthwhile to debate this as a problem across the political spectrum. I tend to be a 1st Amendment absolutist myself and I believe I would find many fellow thinkers among conservatives.
But there are those among us who think that politics is a game of battering the other side with gotchas and so we have posts insisting that liberals/progressives are the root of all evil… apparently managing to be Communists and Fascists at the same time. Lions and tigers and bears as well, oh my!

That is the very core of antifa.
No it’s not and it is happening.
Fascism emerged in Italy by it’s founder Benito Mussolini during WWI before spreading to other European countries as a form of far right wing authoritarian power suppressing the opposition which included liberalism.
Today’s LIBERALISM, liberals & Dems are literally mirroring fascism of the past and they can label it “anti” but it still comes out as full blown fascism against their opponents which is now being practiced by the far left-wing liberal authoritarians.
When you ignore, or distort, history you repeat it and this is what is happening with the ANTIFA movement. IN WWII Americans defeated the oppression of tyrannical authoritarian governments but today’s far left-wing liberals and Democrats are hell bent on bringing it to America.
Fascism has a nationalism component. The correct term is authoritarianism heading to totalitarianism.
Or Woke Supremacy.
Wrong.
Fascism is far far right…communism is far far left.
