Is it fascist to label someone a fascist if they are not?

There is lack of clarification in what exactly is a fascist. So it is unlikely that it is fascist to label someone a fascist if they are not.

Your views are very uncomfortable to some Brockton, and they could be described as to the right of the political spectrum, anti-liberal, anti-conservative and anti-establishment so thus some may conclude you are a fascist...

Personally I am on the fence, I think you use such extreme views to show off and create debate, which you are good at.

I think you are a classic facist Brit Kid for expecting some gold standard explanation of everything including what constitutes being a facist.

Now that you mention it; that would explain my new twitch; a straight arm 'salute'...

I am not much of a fascist, but you don't need to be living in Europe to see that political correctness, neo liberalism, and refugees are sinking the ship. In Europe you get labelled a Nazi for pointing out these things and that in itself is the fascism. I have a friend living in Brussels who isn't happy about the place at all. It doesn't matter where you are as long as the thought process makes sense. The left is what I like but unfortunately the left has become warped with unrealistic analysis of the situation.

an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Those are the kinds of definitions you get for the term.One makes you think the person has to be right of some political circle.They are both so broad and so narrow that they almost become meaningless and they are anchored by how its applied. Its open season. If the bureaucrats are in uniforms the leaders a fascist. Its a label for everything and nothing. From religion to ones boss to the Editor of a newspaper. Its just a word and there is really nothing finite about it.

I've seen some labeled fascist simply for a name or in even more fucktardish instances, the color of a name Sometimes if one finds labels necessary you're not necessarily a fascist, ya could just be a blooming arsehole
