Without defending the poster’s point about fascism 2.0 too much, I’d like to point out that Fascism isn’t equivalent to genocide or nazis. It’s a political ideology against a liberal democracy, characterized by ultra-nationalism, corporatism, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Some would argue that a government governing in close ties with corporations against the wishes and interests of the population at large is a form of fascism. Sort of like the society shown in the move Robocop.
- selimthegrim 6y agoI’m pretty sure Zappa would have hauled out the fascist label but more about a society that allows this not the government.
