    Yeah, because they all got crushed after their democratically elected leaders got removed and often killed or imprisoned during the entire Cold War. Also leftists are starting to win elections again quite regularly in South America, so I’m starting to think you just don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

        The flaw being that when a small country starts trying to determine their own self governance that a far larger and more powerful country can crush it? Also, that argument falls down when you look at places like China and Cuba and DPRK and Venezuela still persist, and even demsoc countries like Norway are still flourishing.

        Also no, saying “these countries are winning elections but leftists don’t win elections” is not the genius argument you think it is. I don’t even understand how you think that could be an argument.

            No, they aren’t, because what they do is not in any way the definition of fascism. These words mean things, and if you can’t even understand the established definition of the very thing we are talking about then you’re not worth having a conversation with.
