    Yes, red fascists are fascists. China Russia and North Korea are fascist states, and their supporters and sympathizers are fascists.

      So hard for people to understand lol. “But they said they were communists!” “And you believed them?”

        Also hard for them to understand that liberals can be revolutionary. Like… all those revolutions we had, all those times when we said “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

        People conflate classical liberalism and neoliberalism all the time.
