Attacking ordinary working people has nothing to do with 'fascism' in either theory or practice. WWII would like their propaganda back.

Query: clarification of statement required.

I was responding to 'globalist fascism-in-woke clothing'.

Globalism is fascist, but global rather than national; woke is the latest iteration of the class of useful idiots acting as the proverbial drip hollowing the stone.

Hence my expression.

тАЬordinary working peopleтАЭ

You think тАЬordinary workersтАЭ were exempt from one-way Gestapo trips? There was nothing unique about the practice of Nazi

propaganda that distinguishes it from other countriesтАЩ. Translate WRR into German and the motif would parallel.

What makes you think I claimed that the state police practices of National Socialist Germany were - or even could be - any different from those of any other modern, complex state?

Also, the dispute was about implying 'globalism' was 'fascism', not German National Socialism.

While it's true that German National Socialism under the NSDAP was inspired by Italian Fascism, they are not the same thing. Both considered themselves to be 'democracies' and, in fact, both were 'democracies' even more so than any current 'democracy' in the Anglo-sphere. The exigencies of war (obviously) altered their behaviors, but the same occurred in the 'democracies' of North America and the British Commonwealth.

As for 'propaganda', you're going to need to explain what it has to do with the issue of 'globalism' or 'fascism' and *exactly* what you mean by 'propaganda'.

1) тАЬyou're going to need to explainтАЭ

Not one of us here тАЬneedsтАЭ to explain anything to another. You can argue and ask pointed questions, but you damn sure donтАЩt set diktats.

2) As to introducing тАЬpropaganda,тАЭ you wrote тАЬWWII would like their propaganda back.тАЭ
