Charles—

For purposes of clarity - define “fascism”. If by “fascism” you mean “authoritarian” or “nationalistic” or “right-wing”, then please tell us how the “right wing” differs from the “left-wing” with regard to positions the “left” doesn’t approve of, and steps the “left” would take through legislation banning those actions.

If you mean “Nazi-like”, please tell us how this differs from “Communist-like”.

Now if in this whole discussion and use of language, you mean to suggest you’re opposed to any authoritarianism of any kind, fair enough. If you are also suggesting the no particular concept of civilization (i.e. Western) are better than any others (i.e. Islamic/Koranic), that would be nice to know as well.

It is interesting that in Wikipedia’s introduction to the term “fascism” is this statement: “No common and concise definition exists for fascism and historians and political scientists often disagree on what a concise definition would consist of.”

Clarity, is, as Dennis Prager suggests, more preferable to agreement.
