So you're not against fascism?

Anglo-American media spend the 2000s and 2010s accusing Denmark of being fascist.

The word is absolutely meaningless now.

The word may be ill defined but it's a useful term for the current trend of right wing populist autocratic leaders.

Unfortunately those on the left seem to have fascist tendencies.

Well some of them. You can always use another word for those. Socialist tends to get used. It's kind of funny how politics corrupts all terms from their original meaning.

A shocking number of people aren't against fascism, as long as you don't use the actual word to describe what they support.

And when you correctly use the word to describe what they are supporting, you are inciting violence.
