So, a country where the incumbent party loses its parliamentary majority and has to rely on smaller regional parties is fascist?

- suraci 1y agothe Nazis only tallied 43.9 percent of the vote on their own, well short of a majority to govern alone
- unmole 1y agoThe Weimar Republic wasn't fascist either. The Nazis immediately banned all other parties after they seized power. They didn't win outright majorities in two consecutive free elections, spend a decade in power and then lose. So, whatever analogy you're trying to draw doesn't really work.
- saagarjha 1y agoFascism is the actions you take, not how much of a majority you have.
- unmole 1y ago> Fascism is the actions you take Losing a majority after a decade in power seems like the opposite of what a fascist regime would do.
- saagarjha 1y agoAgain, fascism can take a lot of forms. Just because you're not hitting every single manifestation doesn't mean it's not fascism. I mean, here in the US Trump lost the 2020 election, then picked up a majority again and is currently doing some pretty fascist stuff.
- ngc248 1y agoIf retaliating against a nation which does asymmetric warfare via terrorism is being a facist, then so be it.
- saagarjha 1y agoThat's not what we're talking about.
- ngc248 1y agoThe notion of what a fascist means, what a communist means has become so amorphous that ppl mostly use them for ppl/things whuch they don't like. On the political spectrum, for ppl on the left, everything to their right is fascist and for ppl on the right, everything to their left is communist.
- buyucu 1y agoIndia is not retaliating. India is the agressor here.
