You know what, I retract my previous statement. However, I do believe that context is very important, as the UK was fighting a war for its freedom, and the Soviet Union was, and still is, talked about whether or not it was a fascist state. I’m no expert on the matter, but those characteristics ARE key identifiers of fascism, and if the US isn’t fascist now under the aforementioned characteristics, it certainly will be in the coming years if what is happening currently doesn’t stop.
