You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The entire GOP Political genius Marjorie Taylor Greene has fascism and communism mixed up
They use the terms interchangeably, because in their minds, they both mean the same thing:
a system of government we can use to scare our base, resulting in votes and donations.

I’d love to see an interviewer open with, “So, Congresswoman Greene, you’re clearly a moron, but I’d like to ask you some questions anyway. Mostly for amusement.”

What’s fascinating is that she somehow has not noticed how the actions of Ron DeSantis in Florida are fully aligned with Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution…Republicans…

It worked out pretty well until the French and English fur traders had them focusing more on trading with the Europeans, and led to them expanding westward so they could acquire more resources to trade. This pushed the Potawatomi, Ottawa,Ojibwa, Fox, and others to the west.
So, you know, an early example of Capitalism fucking things up.
In general, Native societies were much more egalitarian than Western ones. (though of course, not completely so.)

I’ve dipped my toes into trying to understand the mindset of the kinds of message boards that Marjorie the Gathering likes to hang out on. From my very brief introduction, I found a group where even the pseudo-intellectuals who at least have attempted to educate themselves have gone veeeeery deep into ideas like “cultural Marxism” and all the antisemetic undertones. And still like to debate whether postmodernism had any value at all (it’s not going to surprise anyone that the authors of bills that endorse teaching that slavery was beneficial, are antagonistic towards, say… the view that singular, conventional historical narratives should be viewed with skepticism). My initial impression is that it’s not so much that they’re entirely ignorant of what communism is. It’s that they know lots of stuff, and all of what they know is wrong.

I’m not sure if this was meant facetiously, but outlawing certain political parties is pretty clearly fascist.
