In the feature showcase, Justapedia shows the article on fascism on both their site and Wikipedia. It reads
> From Justapedia
> Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarianism that first emerged in Italy under the leadership of Mussolini, who coined the term to describe his political movement in 1919 during World War I.
> (...)
> There have been attempts by media and some scholars to equate nationalism with fascism while discarding its Marxist "anti-capitalist economic, philosophical and political framework."[3] George Friedman opined that in 2016 a number of articles and statements asserted that "fascism is rising in Europe, and that Donald Trump is an American example of fascism." Friedman denounced such beliefs as "a misrepresentation of a very real phenomenon", and that the nation-state is once again becoming the most important part of politics. He went on to say that people simply don't consider multilateral trade treaties and international organizations like the European Union to be in the best interest of their respective countries, and that the idea that fascism is on the rise "derives from a profound misunderstanding of what fascism is." He views it as an attempt to "discredit the resurgence of nationalism and to defend the multinational systems that have dominated the West since World War II."[4]

> From Wikipedia
> Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[14][15][16] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[15][16]
So, that's Justapedia main selling point? Removing the "far-right" label on the goddamn article on Fascism, and associating it with Marxism?

I don't like the Wikipedia article either tbh, as in my opinion it doesn't go in details about what Paxton means (to avoid defacing I guess?), but Friedman as a source on fascism... I will stay polite, but this kind of stuff is why I'm becoming more and more elitist when it comes to discussing political ideologies. I can discuss with an edgy fascist who just read Nietzsch (or even internalized him) and historian's books on WW2. I actually did, multiple times (the same one). I can discuss with a priest who is a theology major (and minor in history). I feed from their knowledge and interpretation. What can I get from people this ignorant? 'je parle pas aux cons, ça les instruits' wrote Audiard, I thought it was just a funny line, now that I'm older I see what he meant.
