You must be joking... So if someone spread racist ideas, is not racism?

- freedomben 2y agoThis is a great example of why the ever-shifting definition of fascism (as it's used in popular parlance) is so bad. You could get two completely contradictory answers to your question that are both correct depending on what "fascism" means to that person. Advocating violence against such an ill-defined group is dangerous, and if I believed there was such a thing as "evil" I would call it evil. To be clear I'm not implying that you are personally calling for violence, just speaking generally.
- bdcravens 2y agoFascism is implemented at the governmental level; racism can be implemented at the personal level. Fascism is a system; racism is an emotion.
- Xunjin 2y agoWhat about Apartheid? Isn't that Racism implemented in a governamental level? I agree that Fascism is implemented at governmental level, but does not exclude the fact that the origin of the movement starts with the ultranationalism which does require a group of people to believe in it.
