    First: that’s a list of names, rather than a listing of specific sources. So, cool.

    Second, all of them have differing definitions of fascism, and what specific elements are required for something to be fascist, and to what degree those elements need to be present. Some scholars have ended up with definitions that are too broad and can interpreted to mean that all political ideology that includes any hint of authoritarian control is fascist. Others have been too narrow, excluding political movements that are more widely seen as fascist.

    If you took a deep dive into my history, you’d see that I’m pretty unapologetic about having been pretty far right in the past; I was raised in what I would qualify as a far-right cult–according to the checklist used by Dr. Steven Hassan–with lovely christian political values like homophobia, racism, extreme misogyny, and fuck dem poors. Your refusal to try to see anything outside of your own views and to other people that don’t already share your own values isn’t going to do you any favors.
