    That's a really really long idealist article, that dosn't say much in the end and might have been much shorter if the author had a materialist perspective on fascism.

      "idealism is when you dislike fascist ideas actually"

      this is called vulgar materialism, don't do it. Also mentioning ideas is not the same thing as thinking the universe originated from or is dominated by ideas and is literally just not idealism

      Yeah it's long but it's not the same thing

        Can I still be vulgar while I do materialism though? I analyse better when I swear a lot.

        Yes, I know. That's not what I meant though. It seemed idealist to me, because the author sought fascism and means against it only in the realm of culture instead of linking it to material contradictions in the real word.

          do you really think people should need to retrace theory on the ideological base of fascism every time they're trying to point out problematic ideology a game promotes
