But they are wrong, fascism is closer to communism, they tell Businesses what to do. Capitalism doesn't do that. Stop being a first tier thinker.

Very well said. The USA is neither Fascist nor Communist. We have an intact checks and balances system and a good constitution for ensuring that it continues. A liberal democracy is worth protecting. It requires honorable people to stand up on principle, to confront extremists on both ends of the continuum.

For modern purposes we need to add another extreme, making it a triangle rather than a line of continuums. Fascism, communism, and tribalism.

Tribalism being an extreme loyalty to one's heritage. It often gets masked positively as patriotism or negatively as racism.
