    Oh, the historical fascisms such as under Stalin and Pol Pot, right.

    it’s in principle undetermined in ideology

    Correct in so far, as it‘s determined by economic system. Which happens to align with left/right ideology.

    But the only principles really important for any kind of fascism are violence, anti-rationalism and amorphous ideology.

    You’re making shit up depending on how your tummy feels, don‘t you?

    Please stop using the internet.

      How to detect a commie idiot without them naming themselves.

      I’m actually using Eco’s version, and he’s notably leftist.

      Please stop using the internet.

      Smart thoughts were chasing you, but you were always faster.

          Eco’s version assumes Stalin’s regime is one of primary fascist regimes in the first place. I dunno about that overview, in the original text it’s clear from the beginning. Either you haven’t read it or you are trying to cheat.

        I would have been more impressed, if you‘d actually provided argumentative content instead of personal attacks.

        Not sure, what you used Umberto Eco‘s definition for, but it wasn‘t to formulate a coherent thought on the topic.

          Thank you for your opinion, but for classifying Stalin and Pol Pot as fascist, at the very least. If you have actually read that definition.

          You’re making shit up depending on how your tummy feels, don‘t you?

          vs

          if you‘d actually provided argumentative content instead personal attacks.

          , I don’t even know, “idiot” doesn’t seem a personal attack in such a situation. Commies are the only kind of people claiming that fascism has any economic alignments, as far as I have seen.
