You do realize that there are people outside of your little world that aren't leftists/socialists/fascists, right?

You do realize that, objectively, Martin Luther King was more instrumental in the Civil Rights movement than Lyndon Johnson was, right?

Oh, wait, you might not, because the Texas Board of Education took it upon themselves to re-write history.

Low taxes are cool and all, but I don't see how anyone could live in peace with that public school system.

Anonymous wrote the Declaration of Independence too, apparently.

Let's face it: American governmental bodies are dysfunctional at almost every level. Most people live in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. All are poorly managed. And then there's the federal government sitting on top.

The key to thriving in the US is to have a high net worth so you can feel independent of this dysfunctional government. And then ignore all the stressful noise in the crisis-obsessed news cycle.

Honest question: do you actually know what fascist means? If so, do you not understand that it is vastly different than "leftist" or "socialist"?

Yeah, I know that leftist groupthink doesn't comprehend that fascism is a leftist political ideology.

Hint, you know what NAZI means?

You should educate yourself to avoid further embarrassment.

From wikipedia:

"Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views.[11][12] Fascists have commonly opposed having a firm association with any section of the left-right spectrum, considering it inadequate to describe their beliefs,[13][14] though fascism's goal to promote the rule of people deemed innately superior while seeking to purge society of people deemed innately inferior is identified as a prominent far-right theme.[15] Fascism opposes multiple ideologies, such as communism, conservatism, liberalism, and social democracy.[16]"

Do you know what "Go back to /r/politics" means?

More or less, fascism is the supremacy of the nation/state & creation of a civil religion around it. It merges the idea of the nation, the government, and links proper behavior to operating accord with the principles set forth by the leaders. At least that's what I got out of Mussolini's writings on the matter.

It's the people in service of the State, as opposed as the State being the People(communism).

Wow, you're shockingly ignorant for this site. Go education yourself a bit: http://politicalcompass.org/

One of these things is not like the others.
