I don't think the US is the source of all evil, though it is a big one. I believe capitalism is the greatest source of suffering in the world. Thank you for making clear that you are a capitalist reformist. I can safely say that the other user calling you a fascist is apt on a macro-scale.

It’s disingenuous to distort the meaning of “fascism” to apply to a social democratic leaning. It weakens the term. What I believe includes none of the tenets of fascism, except tenets you make up (if you don’t uniformly oppose the system you’re a fascist). In fact, that attitude is kinda fascist.

I don't mean fascist in the liberal sense of the word i.e. genocidal bigot. I mean it in the in form of it's actually policy of marriage of the state and private corporation and manufacturing in-groups and out-groups.

And I think that there’s a gaping chasm between a “capitalist reformist” and a fascist.

On a material level, no. There isn't. The imperial periphery must still be plundered to feed a core that demands exponential growth in a finite environment.

But on the level of the actual definition of “fascism” yes, there absolutely is. And on a material level too, demonstrably (examples already provided and dismissed). Similar data, different conclusions. Go figure.
