I need to make a bot to post this any time fascism gets mentioned.
The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism (practiced by the US, UK, France, the Netherlands, Australia, etc): bourgeois parliamentarism.
British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially “becoming british colonialists.” They haven't changed, and their wealth is still propped up by surplus value theft from the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of low-paid global south proletarians.
This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.

that feels like a stretch. radlibs are perfectly capable of condemning the past crimes of colonialism. they just think it's over and done and that nobody needs to pay reparations.
They think that nobody needs to pay reparation, because they think that everything was legally done. For one example, that’s the point of all those magical treaties they coerced signatures for, to legalize their genocide and insulate from current and future accusations of wrong doing. To liberals, the utmost important thing is that something is legal. Morality be damned.
