How to know whether you're a fascist

If you are whooping it up for regime change in Venezuela but not whooping it up even more for regime change in Equatorial Guinea, where conditions are even worse, you're a fascist.

 Trump is a fascist; he's not interested in democracy. Pompeo is a fascist; he's not interested in democracy.  Bolton is a fascist; he's not interested in democracy. Abrams is a fascist; he's not interested in a democracy.

  1. And you are a fascist because you think communists conduct free and fair elections.

    Oh, and making an absolute statement on one dimension of two countries different in a million ways is the sure sign of a zealot.

    Fascists are zealots. Therefore, you are a fascist.

  2. Curious how rightwingers always accuse critics of what they are most prominently at fault for themselves.

    1. As a commentator has already remarked about Trump and his supporters: every accusation is, in fact, a confession.

  3. Do you think communists conduct free and fair elections?

  4. I never said they do, but I am much more interested in whether Republicans do, and the answer to that is, no.

  5. Yes, with regard to South Vietnam, you most certainly did push the idea that there could have been free and fair elections in the face of a violent communist insurgency.

    ... but I am much more interested in whether Republicans do, and the answer to that is, no.

    What a load of nonsense.

    Of course, you could prove it. But you won't because you traffic in slander.

  6. That was not what I said, because, first, I was not talking about South Vietnam, which did not then exist, but Vietnam; there is no doubt that the Viet Minh would have overwhelmingly won any kind of election had one occurred, which is why the US government made sure none did.

  7. Wrong.

    You were specifically talking about the right North Vietnamese had to erase South Vietnam from the map. And completely ignored the violence they routinely employed.

    I can provide references.

  8. As for whether Republicans want free, fair elections, read 'em and weep: https://juanitajean.com/i-love-yew-texas-21/

  10. As for whether Republicans want free, fair elections ...

    Hmmm. You've never heard of vote harvesting, have you?

  12. It's impossible to invade your own country. It takes remarkable stupidly to ask why Vietnamese people were in Vietnam. Why were Americans there? Not defending democracy, that's for sure.

  13. Harry, the North invaded the South. It actively supported the communist insurgency.

    And the Vietminh weren't about to allow anything remotely like a free election. A fact about which you are unaccountably ignorant, or just don't care.

    How does one defend democracy against that?

  14. Just to reiterate, that thread demonstrated your insistence that the North had a right to invade the South.

    And the South had no right to defend itself.
