All democrats are fascists

[gcode]

A review of the facts

Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.   

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably claims "Derrrrr... you don't even know what fascism is!"  So let's explore fascism a little, shall we?

Listed below are attributes and practices that all 20th Century fascists have in common with the Democrat Party of 2025:

1. Laws promoting the seizure of guns from law-abiding citizens and/or the denial of gun ownership rights for law-abiding citizens.
2. Censorship of free speech by pretending such censorship protects the citizenry from faulty information (i.e., so-called "disinformation").
3. Government control of industry.
4. Government control of the mass media.
5. Control of the entertainment industry as a means of propaganda. (See: Leni Riefenstahl; Walt Disney Corporation.)
6. Children belong to the State and not their parents.
7. Political dissidents and opposing political leadership are to be persecuted for fabricated "crimes" under the color of law through the courts.
8. Political dissidents are locked up for months/years without a trial.
9. Leading political opponents who are a threat to the fascist order are to be assassinated.
10. Extreme nationalism (Democrats hate the United States of America, but are extreme nationalistic zealots for the Woke States of America).
11. Purposeful division of the population along racial and ethnic lines as a means to power.
12. Leadership of the ruling fascist party is chosen by party leaders without any input from rank-and-file party members, but an illusion of democracy is perpetuated. (See: Kamala as nominee with zero votes.)
13. Certain party criminals are turned into martyrs upon their demise.  (See: Horst Wessel; Saint George Floyd.)
14. Destruction of statues, symbols and art of the pre-fascist order.
15. Accuse dissidents of the very crimes you yourself commit.
16. Justify all of it for the "common good."

Here's what the google gives as a summary to the prompt: "20th century fascism"
I don't see anything about "take our guns" unless that falls loosely under "totalitarian control".

20th-century fascism was a far-right, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology that emerged in post-World War I Europe, characterized by dictatorial power, extreme nationalism, militarism, suppression of opposition, and the subordination of the individual to the state, most notably seen in Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, rising from economic instability and societal disillusionment. It glorified national unity, rejected democracy and communism, often incorporating racism, and used violence and propaganda to achieve totalitarian control, leading to World War II and atrocities like the Holocaust.

Key Characteristics
Authoritarianism: Centralized power under a single dictator (e.g., Mussolini, Hitler) with a one-party state.
Extreme Nationalism: Intense focus on national unity, strength, and cultural superiority, often leading to expansionist aims.
Militarism: Glorification of the military, violence, and war as tools for national rejuvenation.
Anti-Democracy/Anti-Communism: Rejection of liberal democracy, pluralism, socialism, and communism, viewing them as weak or divisive.
Totalitarian Control: State control over all aspects of society, economy, and individual life.
Cult of the Leader: Strong, charismatic leader embodying the nation's will.
Social Hierarchy: Belief in natural social hierarchies and elites.

Origins & Rise
Post-WWI Instability: Emerged from disillusionment with democracy, economic hardship, and political instability after World War I.
Economic Crisis: The Great Depression fueled social unrest, making extremist solutions appealing.
National Victimhood: Preoccupation with national humiliation or decline provided fertile ground for fascist rhetoric.

Major Examples
Italy (Mussolini): First fascist state (1922-1943).
Germany (Hitler/Nazism): Racial fascism with genocidal antisemitism (1933-1945).
Japan: Militaristic ultranationalism.

Legacy
Fascism's aggressive nationalism and militarism were primary drivers of World War II.
After 1945, it declined but remains a significant influence on far-right extremism globally.

Which party does that actually sound like?

AI self-prompted,

What are the 4 points of fascism?
AI Overview
Fascism's core features include authoritarianism (strong central power, single leader), extreme nationalism/ultranationalism, militarism, and the suppression of opposition and individual rights for the state's perceived benefit, often through a cult of personality, propaganda, scapegoating, and the glorification of violence and national unity. It rejects democracy, liberalism, and communism, promoting hierarchy and national rebirth.
Here are four key features:

Authoritarianism & Dictatorial Power: Fascism centralizes power in a single, often charismatic dictator (like Mussolini or Hitler) with a cult of personality, demanding absolute obedience and suppressing all dissent, with the state being supreme over the individual.

Extreme Nationalism & Xenophobia: It fosters intense patriotism, viewing the nation (or race) as superior and unified, often defining itself against internal and external enemies (scapegoats like minorities or foreigners) and promoting aggressive expansionism.

Militarism & Glorification of Violence: Fascism glorifies war, strength, and a warrior spirit, using paramilitary forces and justifying violence as redemptive for the nation, often viewing life as a permanent struggle.

Suppression of Opposition & Individualism: Fascist states control media, outlaw opposing political parties, and subordinate individual rights and freedoms to the needs of the state, believing in a natural social hierarchy rather than equality.
