      Your source does not support your claim.

      Also Russia is clearly fascist in its current form so any “communist” supporting the current Russian government is at best confused.

        China isn’t fascist, it is an capitalist/socialist mixed industrial economy with a ruling socialist party. Russia is literally just another oligarchy with opposed interests to US Oligarchy, they don’t have the important base economic markers characteristic of fascism and yes, the article opposes equating fascists and communists.

          I never said China is fascist. Im not sure their government could become fascist given the ideological gaps between fascism and whatever we want to call the system China has.

          The USA isn’t an oligarchy and the Gilens and Page paper people keep referencing never actually makes that claim. The USA is a plutocracy. Our wealthy people rarely gain their wealth as a direct result of government appointments.

          Russia is clearly fascist at this point.

      Jewish people arent the only people who ever were victim to fascism… To say china commits a holocaust is holocause trivialization. To say it is a fascist country is not.

        To say it is a fascist country is making fascism look better then it is. Fascism doesn’t have 95 percent of the population approving of the government. Fascism doesn’t exempt minorities from the one child policy. Fascism doesn’t end extreme poverty in a country of 1.4 billion people. Fascism doesn’t lead to trans youth Healthcare clinics sprouting up in major cities.

      1. thanks for sharing. Quite an interesting read.

      2. I don‘t think the linked text supports your argument at all. Calling the chinese fascists in light of the way they treat their citizens in general and the genocide against the Uyghurs especially is not at all comparable to eastern European nations revering people that murdered yews.

        No offense but you missed the point. The most extreme claim from a german christian fascist was that China has 1 million people in reducation camps.That is not equivalent to the intentional extermination of 11 million people, before we count the 19 million soviet civilians who died during the german invasion outside the concentration camps.
