Democrat Fascist Hunters Think Youâre Too Dumb To Know What âFascistâ Means
Liberals deliberately conflate fascism, na**sm, and conservatism.
On podcaster Brian Tyler Cohenâs show, Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman called Spencer Pratt a âmini Donald Trumpâ representing âfascism.â Pratt, an independent candidate for L.A. mayor who grew up around Democrats, whoâs angry that Democrat policies have derailed his life, and who stands for family, God, city, and country is a fascist, apparently.
This is what weâre dealing with.
The âfascistâ label is the Leftâs go-to attack because itâs the only attack they have left. They canât defend their policies or win an argument on the merits, so they hurl emotionally loaded slurs with the same masculine and triumphant energy as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz trying to load a gun. Itâs pathetic, and it reveals one of two things: theyâre either completely ignorant of history, or theyâre counting on you to be.
What is this âfascismâ Democrats speak of so incessantly? We heard about it in history books as kids: Benito Mussolini was a fascist, Adolf Hi**er was a fascist, and theyâre two of the most evil villains in history. So how did we get to the point where Democrats call every Republican they see with this emotionally and historically charged language?
Modern-day liberals fail to realize that fascism originated as a distinctly left-wing ideology born directly out of socialism in the early 20th century. The term comes from the Italian âfasci,â meaning a bundle of sticks stronger together than individually. It symbolized the supremacy of the collective over the individual. Mussolini, fascismâs founder and its most important historical figure, was a Marxist for most of his life and editor of a major socialist newspaper. He broke with international communism over exactly one thing: he believed true socialism had to be achieved nationally, not globally.
Thatâs where ânational socialismâ came from in N**i Germany, too. A term that a lot of Democrats seem increasingly enamored with.
Mussolini and philosopher Giovanni Gentile framed fascism as the practical, workable form of socialism that subordinated the individual entirely to the state. Hi**er followed the same blueprint, naming his party the National Socialist German Workersâ Party. They werenât ideological opposites of communism. They just rejected its internationalism in favor of a hyper-nationalist version of collectivism. They championed a powerful centralized state that glorified the collective (because itâs just so warm), the leader (because only they know whatâs best for you), and the nation (because the individual on its own is just too successful and greedy). They imposed heavy regulation on private business, rejected classical liberal individualism and free markets, and built universal welfare programs run by the state, all in service of one idea: that the âgoodâ of the collective must override private rights.
Sound familiar? (Remember, theyâre trying to tell you that these fascist ideals are the marks of a conservative.)
Take todayâs progressive Democrats: Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Kamala Harris, and the Squad demand single-payer âMedicare for All,â handing the state control over one-fifth of the economy. Their Green New Deal and Joe Bidenâs industrial policy (Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act) poured hundreds of billions into directing private industry toward government-chosen goals. Thatâs the exact corporatist model Mussolini and Hi**er used: businesses stayed âprivateâ on paper, but served the collective state agenda. Add COVID, climate, and DEI mandates, government-tech collusion to suppress speech, and identity politics that elevate group grievance over individual rights, and you have the same anti-individual, top-down collectivism fascism always demanded.
In typical leftist fashion, post World War II â or World War Eleven if youâre Ilhan Omar â the Left quietly rebranded fascism as âright-wingâ to smear conservatives and bury its own ideological DNA. A lie then. A lie now.
Fascism bears literally no resemblance to American conservatism. None. Conservatism traces back to the Founding: rights come from God or nature, not government. The state exists to protect those pre-existing rights, not to engineer society or dictate economic outcomes. Conservatives believe in private property, free enterprise, federalism, and a government small enough to stay out of your life.
Fascism is âright-wingâ only in the narrow European sense when placed next to full communism. By any American standard of limited government and individual freedom, it is radically left-wing, and it always has been.
The real intellectual lineage of Mussolini and Hi**er runs straight through 20th-century socialism and into the modern Democratic Left. The policies differ in scale and packaging. The philosophy does not.
So the next time a Democrat calls a Republican a fascist, donât get angry. Laugh! Laugh loudly and often, until theyâre finally embarrassed enough to open a history book. Theyâve been counting on your ignorance for decades.
Time to prove them wrong
