Fascists believe in a strong authority. This article is arguing to have less of one, inherently more laisse faire.

Democracy doesn't mean freedom.

What you're describing is the modern face of communism.

I know you're not supposed to use the word because it really upsets communists.

The article is arguing that the people the author agrees with should have more authority to do what they want and the people they disagree with should have less. And when those people won't leave then "we need to be okay ruffling some feathers". Sounds pretty fascist aligning to me.

If you can tell me that I cannot do something with my property, and I want the freedom to tell you to take a hike, I don't see how that makes me a fascist.
