Honest question: Why is 'populism' demonized in politics, when populism literally just means that a political figure is popular among the people? Shouldn't any democratically elected leader be popular among the people? What's the alternative, 'un-populist?' Popular among the establishment? I don't get it.
They say 'Hitler was populist.' Yeah, Ok, that may be true, but then again, so was every leader in history that came to power due to popular support from the people! Should we reject political figures that are popular just because historically there have been mistakes? Should we forego the process of elections altogether and just let oligarchs select our political leaders for us?
Another honest question:
Since when did 'right wing conservatism' become associated with fascism?
Conservative political ideas involve the separation of government and corporation. It espouses the idea that government should be small, limited, and unable to take an active role in the policies of private businesses.
That is exactly OPPOSITE to fascism, where government and corporations merge and cooperate to carry out each other's goals.
When you see the political factions today that identify as left, like the Biden admin, having several instances where giant corporations like those of big tech openly ADMIT that they are taking marching orders for censorship directly from the government, is THAT not more fascist by definition?
You have fascists censoring free speech through government coersion or incentives of private corporations, and more fascists in media corporations announcing in news and TV defending such practices by claiming that 'private corporations don't have to follow the same laws as government,' when its government instructing them to do it in the fist place! THEN, they accuse anyone who rejects this on principle as being part of the 'fascist right wing conservative populist extremists' etc!?
If you know the meaning of the word 'fascism,' then this doesn't even make sense! Large government and corporate collusions in government is a LEFT thing that the left is doing as we speak, so why are conservatives and right wing people being labeled 'fascist?'
There's a case to be made for so-called 'right wing' politicians like Bush as being fascist... but then, they weren't really right wing nor conservative! they expanded government, expanded corporate collusion, and removed regulations on government limitations while expanding government control of private businesses... So they were right wing in rhetoric only.
I guess another argument could be made for right wing religious authoritarianism... but that isn't fascism! The word for that is 'theocracy,' and sure, it's fine to be against theocracy, but call it what it is! Conservatives do have a propensity to be religious, however, theocracy is not conservative. All government in America should be within a separation of church and state.
Fascism. on the other hand, is something else entirely! Fascism is being practiced first and foremost by those who are accusing others of being fascist throgh state funded propaganda and broadcasted at the behest of government agencies through private corporations! That is fascism!
Question is, the democrats and leftist socialists are intentionally skewing the meaning of the word fascism while practicing fascism, then actively and aggressively accusing conservatives who ardently oppose fascism of being fascists! why is that?!
