(6,947 posts)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!

(17,990 posts)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.

British Fascists; British Union of Fascists

(1,671 posts)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.
