re: #164 Birth Control Works

Back in the day, on LGF, we had a long & repeated discussion on the definition of fascism. George Orwell’s essay was mentioned several times.

Now, I see the word being used again.

If I can remember:

Fascism as a
social system is - conservative (women in the home)
political system - totalitarian
economic system - third way (mixed economy)

I can’t remember the other systems.

Yes, economically it’s definitely third way. It’s that leads a lot of conservatives to assume it’s a left wing ideology. But what they don’t understand is opposition to capitalism was never exclusively from the left. You nail the political and social system as well. Fascism does differ from traditional conservatism but traditional European conservatism anyhow was very pro monarchy.
