I define 'fascist' in much the same way that Mussolini did...and he was kind of a master:


I think that people mistakenly use the term 'Fascism' when they really mean Totalitarianism (which, BTW, I am above all else against.)  The reason why is that Fascism and most forms of Collectivism (esp, Communism) rapidly go that way and tend to start out that way from the get-go.  Neither can exist without Totalitarianism.  Capitalism tends to devolve into Cronyism which is something that also vexes the other major political systems...and just about anything else that humans do.

You (Criptix) may be right that I assume SJW-ism more broadly than I should.  I'll try to be mindful of it.

I will say that I strongly sense that a lot of the SJW types are being sold a pig in a poke vis-a-vis 'Communism' which they've been conditioned for all of their lives (as have I as a 50 yo American public school victim as I look back on things.)  Those sponsoring the SJW movement and the promises of Socialism/Communism are very cynically not at all Socialist or Communist' themselves and have no intention of going there.  In fact they are not far from Mussolini's Fascism.  The modern Chinese 'Communist' system most closely approximates what they are shooting for and it most closely maps to a form of neo-Feudalism.  Capitalism for the few in leadership and totalitarian quasi-communism for everyone else.

Na tvbcof has just a distorted view of reality.
Everyone who doesnt share his worldview is a leftist sjw.

Classical fashist much?

The irony here is though that you are actually complaining about the left (and the right - like a sane person who follows US politics would do).

IGNORED.

You ad-hominem'd (and victimized) me by accusing me of an ad-hominem.  I think I'm going to cry   (That should verify my former-Leftist bona-fides for ya.)

Q.E.D.

Ah, did I huwt you feewings? Poor widdle snowflake.

Ad hominem attack.....* YAWN *   

Yep!

Another way to say it is, all laws are simply people taking freedom away from other people.

There is nothing wrong with warning people about inappropriate use of their freedom. What's wrong is forcing them to do something.

Rather, if a person harms another, let him pay in like manner: eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and life for life... plus reimbursement for the others' loss of time, and torment he had to go through.

No, I did not.  Indeed, the ACA was primarily a Republican cronyist invention.  The Dems mostly slathered on a helping of totalitarianism and state sponsored extortion at the end.  I'm perfectly aware of this.

All I am saying is that you are whining and crying about the fall-out which is directly associated and anticipated from what was an obviously flawed system in the first place.  Worse, you and DKOS and the rest of the Leftist dumb-fucks are trying like crazy to make it into some sort of a identity politics thing which only confuses and aggravates the problem making a solution which works for the peeps even less likely, and I doubt very much that this is an accident. 

It's you who've fallen into the trap my friend.

The so-called "TWO-Party System" is perfectly designed to divide & conquer the masses, pitting Demo-Crips against Re-Blood-licans and "right" against "left."

Looks like you fell right into their trap,

when we should all be uniting against this massive corruption.

'Death Panel' as I define it would be a group of people making individual decisions on a case-by-case basis about what kind of treatment makes sense in a given situation WHEN and only when other people are footing the bill.

What DKOS seems to be pointing at here are the group of people who are trying to deal with the train wreck known as the ACA (aka Obamacare.)  The ACA was the worst possible program which could have been attempted.  It contained all of the crony capitalist corruption that everyone likes with all of the totalitarian control freak principles that appeal to the collectivists.  Not only that, but it put the burden of the system on the 20% of people who made a living without being a corporate worker drone and thus turbo-charged the collapse of the middle class.  To the architect Gruber and his ilk that is not a problem in part because it is no longer a big voting block.  Back then I was quite left-wing in a lot of my preferences but I could see that the ACA was a carefully designed disaster.

Where the Left fucked up is that they had every expectation that H. Clinton would be in charge after 2016 and they could bring in fully socialized medicine (replete with all of the crony 'public-private partnership' graft that their hearts desired) when Obamacare was scheduled to implode.  Didn't happen.  Cry me a river.

Just a little hint to the modern-day Leftists.  One of the big reason I turned my back on you is that almost everything about the movement has gone full-retard, and the 'identity politics' part is one of the real poster-children of the phenomenon.  It is EXACTLY the instinct which spawns 'racism' and such.  The funniest thing is that if there is one place where there is some concern based on observation and numbers, it is in people who have sway over American politics, systems, and society coupled with something of an 'Israel First' mentality.  The Left is as terrified as anyone at pointing out this elephant in the room.

ZUT ALORS!

We got the same in France so I feel you...

The Senate is completely Right wing. It has been for the last century...
There hasn't been a left wing president of senate for the last century!!!

Meet your all-white, all-male Right-Wing Senate death panel:

The God-emperor has spoken, RWDS when?

So Comey was a great guy who had guts and he did the good thing by starting the whole Hillary scandal before the elections but right now when he wants to start an investigation against Trump ... he's the worst person in the world.

When people in the US use the term 3rd world country they should look in the mirror.
The only countries in Europe where the president or the minister is firing a police or special investigation chief are the eastern block filled over the top with corruption.
And on second thought, not even in Romania, they didn't have the guts to take this kind of action after a huge protest, I remember something in January or February.

Drain the swamp my ass, you're right now digging and expanding it.

Spot on!

I'm not sure what to feel about that, since Putin always has been developing high-class weapons and with america's resources they could create an even scarier one. I'm not from either country but I don't let myself socially unaware.
