    Could you please give me a few of your theoretical underpinnings?

    • Which books and theories from them do you use for your analysis?

    • Which framework of fascism do you use?

    • Do you have a strong differentiation between authoritarianism, jingoism and fascism?

    • Was Spain under Franco Fascist from your point of view?

    • What is your empirical and cultural data for the analysis of the Fascists, Right wing movements, the Republican party and Trump(-ism)?

    • Do you think even though Fascism is the wrong term for Trump and his followers, that whatever term you would chose, is a an existential danger for the people / the left? In the sense of more dangerous structurally than pure bourgi, partially neolib actors in the political spectrum like Joe Biden / Mitch McConnel?

      I've been an ML party member for a few years, formerly anarchist of 20 years. I'm not doing all of this at 9am in the morning though lmao.

      I'll hit that last bullet since it doesn't require me going digging or spending a lot of time -- Yes and no. Fascist in the casual use in the same way we all call cops fascist? Yes. Fascist in the sense that we're going to have institutional policy from the top down to murder people for their ideology or race under him? No. Now, don't get me wrong on that last point, people will die to police, prison, and so on but I don't think it is going to be organisational policy to remove the left from existence. All of those same deaths and problems will happen under Biden too.
