Honest question. How would you feel if I said Revolutionary France in the 1790s was Marxist-Leninist?

since when does fascism only exist in one historical context? the term itself is not limited to that like marxism-leninism is

You’re right about the Indigenous American genocide inspiring Hitler. You’re right that anti-Black racism was and is toleration and authoritarian. I think the part that you are missing is that fascism is more than just racism and nationalism, it is a philosophy about corporate and state power devoting ultimate service to a highly centralized state. The state is everything in fascism, even above race. Id say America is to fascism what Revolutionary France is to later schools of Communism.

I would argue that the 1700s didn’t even have the material conditions necessary for fascism. That doesn’t mean the US wasn’t very racist and expansionist, it just means that the US was not and could not have been that particular system of government. It would be like saying Revolutionary France was Leninist. Sure, there are parallels and even some connections through inspiration, but those are still different systems in different material conditions.

I am right about this one though

That makes sense but I guess I don’t see the need to disagree so heavily if you can see that there are parallels

Fair, i think a lot of us are working on similar things especially when it comes to political discourse on the internet
