    This year I watched several great video-essays on fascism in Poland, Italy, Japan. I am not going to recommend them to you, cause they were in Russian. Heh. The subject is complex, actually. Labeling a 'fascism' label is easy but that is simplification by 300% in most of the times; thats why this term has so much explanations - which are very very different to each other!

    That's what my post says, exactly. I quote the only leader who ever called himself a fascist, Mussolini. And I quote the man Mussolini quoted, Giovanni Gentile. These people called themselves fascists. They founded the fascist ideology and they defined fascism. I label no one else a fascist, nor do I attempt a definition. I leave it to people to decide if any government fits the terms described by Mussolini and Gentile.

    I was trained in history (undergrad...not grad.) I'm a skeptic. I don't throw labels around. If Mussolini says it's fascist, well, he should know :))

        Thank you! I will listen to that later. The only thing I know how to say in Russian is "thank you" :))
