    If you want to play the fascism isn’t authoritarianism card then name a single state indicated in the meme that has taken up fascism as official policy.

      Fascism is most definitely authoritarian.

      Poo by any other name is still poo. Fascist principles can be seen to be taking root in many western countries. Do they label themselves fascist … well southern and eastern Europe seem to be starting to openly do that.

      Regardless, both Italy and Spain seem to be highlighted in the meme soo … there’s two?

          Both have taken up fascism as official policy in the past.

            I wouldn’t say they’ve adopted a fascistic internal political system. Like they still have elections and aren’t led by a dictator. You can only be so ethno-nationalistic while remaining in the EU lol.

              Yeah Giorgia Meloni and the Fratelli d’Italia sound pretty ethno-nationalistic to me …
