He would be ashamed of what the party of Lincoln has done since the Bushes administrations, and elected that POS criminal traitorous Fascist to desecrate the Oval Office!

Dad and paternal uncle were ground pounders. Dad was younger and served in France, Belgium and Germany. Uncle, the eldest, in Sicily and Italy. The rest were aunts and helped granddad run the farm while the boys were away.

Italian fascists; Fascist
Spanish fascists; Falangist
German Fascists; Nazis
British Fascists; British Union of Fascists
U.S. Fascists; White Nationalists

They'd almost be better off going by Fascist. It doesn't fully equate to virulent racism or anti-semitism. But hey, alternate facts baby.

The communists in both countries vastly outnumbered (probably still) any fascist nationalist group and frankly did way more damage. Looking at how Stalin treated Ukraine, you'd have to say that fascism doesn't have the market corned on lethal bigotry, but you can't make a case that fascism and Soviet Communism are the same things unless you're the Doughy Pantsload (Jonah Goldberg.). Authoritarian sure, all of them.

It's because fascism is the identifier of hierarchy, whether it's in communism or theocracy or capitalism, where all power differentials are ladders of increased/decreased power whether it's economic, religious or ideological.

A Nazi by any other name is still a Nazi.

Or

A white supremacist by any other name is still a Nazi. And vice versa.
