the right wing thing is not necessary. You can glue it on if you like, but it isn't intrinsic to the way most people I know use fascist. Just a thought. You are entitled to your opinion (and definitions). I'm merely pointing out that many don't share that definition. Hence, you are likely to unintentionally confuse. Consider Fascism is a form of extreme right-wing ideology ... from publiceye.org If you wish to continue using fascism as a synonym for all dictatorships, no matter what the ideology, you might consider giving a "heads-up", so as to not confuse. My only goal in this conversation is clarity. Your usage confused me, and I suspect it may have a similar result with others. While many examples exist of using the specific to mean the generic (e.g. Scotch tape), in matters of politics, clarity has increased importance. Since, I now understand your definition, I won't trouble you again on the matter. Please continue to post the many informative articles that have enriched this thread - like the Magruder article. What a "blast from the past". Thanks. lurqer
