    Kind of ironic since Hitler based Germany’s immigration laws on USA’s.

        Idk about that, but there’s def similarities. I think its dangerous to mischaracterize things that aren’t fascist as fascist, as popular movements which have done so seem to actually accelerate the spread of fascism. One a them dialectical historic contradictions.

        But I don’t say this to take the wind out of anyone’s militancy against the all but unchecked rise of the anti-democratic authoritarian right. By the time something that is almost fascism becomes fully formed it is too late.

        But it is worthwhile to use care when applying the term.

          Hitler was explicit that he took inspiration from the US. The way the US treated the native tribes, in particular, was an inspiration to him.
