Even if Pinochet was a fascist, it is hardly "obvious."
Dictators may step down. Fascist dictators, not so much.
Trump could have kicked off a civil war and retained his power past the deadline with one or two sentences. If he is a fascist, he is a fairly uncommitted one.
- monocasa 5y agoPinochet is one of the clearest fascists of the past half century. It's very obvious.
- gfodor 5y agoIn any case this is irrelevant. My point was that if you want to know if someone is a fascist, a good sign they are not a fascist is if they step down from power for reasons other than by force. Particularly if they had the ability to start an armed conflict to maintain their power up until they were removed by force.
