    It’s not coincidence. They know. The right is forever lifting and co-opting from the identities they oppress. Compelling art depends on a compelling idea. They have few compelling ideas, so they steal the compelling art.

      ‘Fascist’ referred to an anarcho-syndacalist union originally, before Mussolini coopted the word for his own party.

      MFs can’t even invent a name for their own ideology.

        That’s because Fascism is not an ideology. They have no ideals to strive towards, there’s no transformational principle they aspire to. The only core tenet is: reach and stay in power by all means and at all costs. Thus the admiration of strength and the obsession with strong men. Whatever ideological or political principle they claim to support, including conservatism, is based on an utilitarian view. It will be trashed and denounced the very second it stops being of use. Ideology is but a coat of paint for the fascist and their collaborators.
