It was the wise King Solomon who said in Scripture, "There is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). There is certainly nothing new about Democrats calling Republican presidents or presidential candidates fascists and Hitlers. Way back in 1964, Democrats called Barry Goldwater a fascist. Some Republican presidents who were fitted by Democrats with swastika armbands were Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Even never-Trumper and former Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, the late John McCain, who is now eulogized by Democrats, and Mitt Romney, the Democrats' favorite present-day RINO, were all once called fascists by Democrats as well. 

 

For Democrats, like Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, to call Donald Trump a fascist and a Hitler is the epitome of a possum calling a coon a varmint. The only reason they, as well as other Democrats, can get away with it is because most Americans don't have a clue as to what a fascist really is. Can you define fascism? Would you know a fascist if you saw one? Could you be surrounded by fascists without you even knowing it?

 

Webster defines fascism as a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition. Interestingly, as well as deceptively, most other definitions of fascism start by restricting it to a "far-right" political philosophy, as though it can never be perpetrated by anyone on the far-left. This, like restricting racism to whites, as though blacks can never be guilty of it, restricts fascism to conservatives, as though liberals can never be guilty of it.

 

The truth is; fascism can be found on either the far-right or the far-left. In fact, when one realizes that today's liberalism has become yesterday's conservatism, one quickly realizes that it's far more likely to be found on the far-left than on the far-right. For instance, it is today's liberals, not today's conservatives, who believe in big government and limited individual liberties. It's not the far-right, but the far-left today that advocates for the licensing of all governments to lord it over their citizenries and for the personal liberties of all individual citizens to be lessened and limited.

 

Fascism, according to Webster, is the exalting of the nation—what’s good for all—over the individual—what’s good for the individual. Adolf Hitler, the world's most infamous fascist, once said, "Society's needs come before the individual's needs." In her best Adolf Hitler impersonation, Hillary Clinton, who has called Donald Trump a fascist and a Hitler, sounded like Hitler and a fascist herself, when she said, during her 2016 run for the White House, "We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."   

 

Again, according to Webster, fascism is a centralized government’s suppression of individual rights, in order to squash all government opposition, for the good of all society. Under the ruse of protecting societal unity, security and longevity, the government, in collusion with the military, the media, and the market place, coerces the citizenry into conformity by seizing severe control over the economy and imposing severe social regimentation over the citizenry. This marriage between the public sector and the private sector enables a fascist government to usurp control over the citizenry and to mandate to individual citizens what they can and cannot think, what they can or cannot say, and what they can and cannot do. 

 

In light of the above, we can conclude that government collusion with social media to censor free speech, so as to silence all dissenting voices to the government's mandated narrative is nothing more than textbook fascism. Likewise, we can also conclude that government's denial of its citizens' right to informed consent, in mandating experimental vaccines, dismissing the unvaccinated from their jobs, and prohibiting them from entering public places to do their personal business, is also textbook fascism. Once you've opened your eyes to all of this, as well as to a plethora of other present-day examples of fascism, you'll be surprised to see fascism all around you, as well as shocked to learn that many who are accusing others of fascism are actually fascists themselves.

 

Now, before we conclude this informative Wilderness Voice about the facts on fascism, we must admit, as Webster defines it, that it can be the exalting of a group within a nation, not just the exalting of the nation itself. For instance, it can be the exalting of a particular race over all other races. Yet, it’s not limited to a particular race or to a particular group, but can be the exalting of any race or any group over all other races and groups. For instance, fascists can be black supremacist just as much as white supremacist and far-left liberals just as much as far-right conservatives. Furthermore, the dictator or fuhrer of a fascist government doesn’t have to be a swastika wearing Nazi, but can be an American president, regardless of whether he or she is a Democrat or a Republican. Here's the terrifying truths about fascism; it not only comes in all colors and can be found on both sides of the political aisle, both the far-left and the far-right, but it's all around us today, albeit mostly undetected, even in those who may appear to be its most adamant adversaries. Remember it's been said that the fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists!
