oh yeah the hypermilitarist genocidal racists backed by a bunch of monopolies in a suit pretending to be an economy that took over a british-modelled liberal monarchy are sooooooo different from fascists 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Fascism is an actual ideology. Its Karl Marx was a man named Giovanni Gentile, and he wrote an entire philosophy on it. The Japanese didn't really have any ideology other than "Let the Emperor live 10,000 years!" Most of the European imperialists didn't have huge militaries, nor did the military control society. I guess you could call the Japanese imperialist, but you don't have to be militarist to be imperialist. I realize that to some, the Venn diagrams of these three appear very nearly a circle, but there is much more to it than that.
Yes, on one level, I realize that today, fascist is just an insult. But believe it or not, it is an actual school of thought, an entire philosophy. You can still read the books, if you care to seek them out. But the insult is widespread and unavoidable. For example, here is one group of antifa calling another group of antifa fascist. Unless you're going to do the chud thing of "antifa are the real fascists!"

It's not new, either. 1937: Communist Party of Spain (PCE) calls the POUM fascists. They don't have any evidence, they just know that the POUM are fascists.
