Which party is pushing the Fascist Agenda more?
A portion of the definition of Fascism:
According to most scholars of fascism, there are both left and right influences on fascism as a social movement, and fascism, especially once in power, has historically attacked communism, conservatism and parliamentary liberalism, attracting support primarily from the "far right" or "extreme right."
this is from Wikipedia.
Most scholars agree that a "fascist regime" is foremost an authoritarian form of government, although not all authoritarian regimes are fascist. Authoritarianism is thus a defining characteristic, but most scholars will say that more distinguishing traits are needed to make an authoritarian regime fascist
You don't need a Dictator to be an Authoritarian government.

The proof is in the pudding. Take your pick.
Fascism: an economic system in which the power elite, variously termed oligarchy, plutocracy, cabal, or ruling class, employ the police power of the State to enforce the economic domination of privately owned cartels and corporations, industrial and financial; a militaristic regime that exalts nation above the individual, the rich above the poor, uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition, and stands for a totalitarian government headed by a dictatorial leader

Given that "Authoritarianism is thus a defining characteristic" I would think the party that begins with "P" fits with the definition.

Every dictionary i know of mentions a dictator in its definition of fascism.But of course you know better. Clearly the Republican party advances the fascist agenda more, but fascism advances whichever party is in power.

Source(s): Mussolini was a socialist. Hitler was a socialist. The actions of Hitler were the same as the actions of Stalin. Fascism is pure left wing. Only left wingers say otherwise, for obvious reasons. - Anonymous7 years ago
