    If you look at the history of fascism, you’ll find the “christo” part to be surplus to requirements.

    Its only when they’re non-christian that we need to distinguish them.

      I mean, the abrahamic religions seem to all try to create fascist states. Look at Israel as well as a few middle eastern fascist movements.

      Then again, China has also satisfied a lot of the qualifications of fascism in the past century and they are mostly athiest IIRC.

        Better to look at the three most Christian counties in Europe. Well, at least, the most Christian in the 1920s and 30s

        Spain

        Italy

        Germany

        They also had something else in common.

        I don’t think we can look at patterns of counties that america has taken every chance to fuck over they can, nor a people who wanted socialism but had fascism forced on them. For me, a better yardstick is the counties that chose fascism, embraced it and ran with it.
