Hehe, that's a good one. The UK has pretty much the only European fascist government to survive the second world war.
I mean, what else would you call close collusion between "loyal" industry and state? WWII wasn't "freedom v. fascism" - it was one lot of fascists against the others - and the ones that won just had better branding. Fewer skulls on uniforms, just as much pomp and pageantry, more economic fascism than social.
- peteretep 11y agoThe UK only has a facist government if you're willing to reduce the term to meaning "one I don't like". Take a country with one of the most diverse capitals on earth, with one of the last protectionist and most liberal capitalist systems in the world, democratic traditions that go back to the magna carta, and you get ... not facism.
