It's not that I don't perceive many things that might be described with some truth-of-the-matter as "fascist, classist, militaristic". What I might object to is the use of such terms as "fascist", "classis

This is really one instance of a much larger problem in the "soft" sciences, where results that don't replicate are commonplace, and 'null' results that don't appear to give "decisive" evidence for so
