Look, conservatives suck but theyre not fascists. Calling everybody to the right of you fascist waters down the meaning of the word.
Heres a good take by Umberto Eco on what makes fascism distinct from other political movements: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism
How has no comment in this thread yet mentioned Georgism or Land Value Tax? That is the solution to Landlordism
Google georgism
capitalism is celebrating

This is why we need Land Value Tax, redistributed by UBI.
So disappointing that nobody in this thread has mentioned Georgism
100% Land Value Tax pleaseeee, way better than guillotines
I agree landlords suck but there are better approaches than a violent revolution. Georgism > Maoism
There is a way to get rid of landlord’s insane unearned income without a violent revolution, while also making our cities more lovely places to love.
A 100% tax on the value of land, redistributed as UBI and government services. Basically the people become the landlords.
Anybody else feel like the tone of his videos has changed? I used to recommend NJB videos to family and friends, but now I feel like his videos would alienate them more than win them over.
I think Trump has some of the fascist traits Eco points out, like xenophobia and appealing to a frustrated middle class. But he is thoroughly lacking in other fascist traits, like (1) the syncretic neo-pagan mysticism and (2) the idea that the state should always be at war, that the state should encourage all citizens to die a hero’s death.
So I’d call him authoritarian, christian nationalist, and stupid. But not fascist.
