      Fascism is liberalism. It’s liberalism in decline. The politics are different but the economic system is the same.

        Fascism is liberalism, but given the level of reactionary-thought, I’d consider them to be distinct in certain circumstances.

          They’re only different in terms of their politics, it’s the politics we’re describing but the underlying economic system which not only necessitates it but is serviced by it’s actions is what determines it’s rules, it’s purpose, and it’s livelihood which is why it’s important to discuss in terms of economics not only politics.

        All those are overlapping tbh, depending on conditions. I meant more like theory - which is kinda hard in case of liberalism because liberal theory lies all the time.
