Good point. So Case 1 is more fascist, opposite of what the OP is claiming.

  His argument is essentially that the lack of authoritarian control is less authoritarian than no authoritarian control. I'm not sure how someone holds such an opinion when its falsehood is self-evident.

    My argument is that Elon has sufficient power that he wields against the interests of his employees that he himself is fascist. He is trying to override the policy of democratically elected leadership of Alameda County.

      > My argument is that Elon has sufficient power that he wields against the interests of his employees that he himself is fascist. Elon wants to open his factory. He cannot force anyone to work. He lacks legal authority to do so. If he opens his factory, then his employees may either return to work, or not. This is a choice that they will have to make. Nobody is compelled to do anything in this situation. This is called freedom of association. And again, Elon merely wants to open his factory. But the government won't let him. So he tweeted his intent to move his company. This is called freedom of speech. No matter how much it rustles your jimmies, neither freedom of association nor freedom of speech is fascism. Elon is not compelling anyone to do anything. He hasn't advocated compelling anyone to do anything. This is not fascism, not by any stretch of the imagination.

        Perhaps you don’t read his Twitter but he has been advocating people there to do a lot. One of those things is to go back to work and open the country immediately. He would fit in on Fox and Friends with dumbass opinions like this.
