I didn't mean the Trump is actually fascist. I commented on the erroneous idea of the Brazilian socialists to call any kind of opposition to their ideals, of fascism. < Just like they called Trump a fascist, even though he wasn't one >


It must not have been clear because my English is not so good, I'm sorry.
Crazy to see, never thought that Brazil was going to go from super super super far left to a VERY far right stance.

But -- onto you mentioning Trump being a fascist, that isn't true in the least. Fascism compromises of a system where and I QUOTE "economic system in which the government controls the private entities that own the factors of production. The four factors are entrepreneurship, capital goods, natural resources, and labor. A central planning authority directs company leaders to work in the national interest."

This isn't true, of the United States and it will never be true. We don't have a board of people that are deciding where resources are being used, nor do we have a system where the central government has this much control. Republicans in government usually fight for devolution, or the "the transfer or delegation of power to a lower level, especially by central government to local or regional administration."

So yeah, not a Fascist.
