Is the US fascist? Are all bourgeois states fascistic? If not then why are some fascist and others not? Is post-Stalin USSR fascist? Was FDR fascist? Is Putin fascist?

      Mussolini was pretty straightforward about what fascism is.

        very true, but Mussolini-coined, Mussolini-identified, and Mussolini-defined fascism isn't sufficient to correctly materially identify and make predictions of all the fascism that proceeded it

          Mussolini-coined

          Read this as "Mussolini-coded," which is how I'm gonna refer to Italians from now on.
