The crypto world likes to think they’re enlightened centrists/libertarians when in reality they fall into this same naive “no true Scotsman” fallacy claiming that the people they disagree with are leftists, while none of the people they agree with qualify as fascists because reasons.

What's your definition of fascist?
Ideologies that include any mix of ultranationalism, racial supremacy, populism, authoritarianism, nativism, xenophobia, anti-immigration sentiment, etc
Mostly agree. But I think adding in "populism" and "anti-immigration sentiment" blurs the lines a bit, opening the door just enough to label the modern right as fascist if you strawman their arguments.
I don't really like this definition as it seems to just be a reverse engineering of Nazi Germany rather than the aspects that made it fascist. To me the symbol of the axe with sticks wrapped around it is the starting point. Fascism is about state unity of purpose, everything can be dictated by the state and any opposition can be crushed. While I hate the state so this terrifies me, I think the bundle of bad things means fascism definition misses the mark.
The cultural Marxists have redefined fascism to fit the western/cultural Marxist ideology of made up "oppressed" people.
If cultural Marxist used the real definition people would realize that socialism, fascism and communism are all maggots from the same pile of socialist vomit.
There's a reason fascism is also called "National Socialism."
Fascism is for the only liberty which can be a serious thing, the liberty of the state and of the individual in the state. Therefore for the fascist, everything is in the state, and no human or spiritual thing exists, or has any sort of value, outside the state. In this sense fascism is totalitarian, and the fascist state which is the synthesis and unity of every value, interprets, develops and strengthens the entire life of the people.
— Benito Mussolini, Giovanni Gentile, Doctrine of Fascism (1932)
Yes. Not much different than Communism.
Oh wow. You've fallen hard for all the cultural Marxist lies.
Let them speak, let them get arrogant, let their ugly side slip through, it makes filtering them out of our lives so much easier
What a silly thing for that HOLD crypto guy to say.
Fascists are leftists retard
True. Fascism is the "right-wing" of far left extremism. Communism is the "left-wing" of far left extremism.
According to Mussolini, the guy who coined the term "Fascism" . . Fascism is the merger of Government with Private business.
Government taxation and regulation of private business is a form of fascism, especially if the government forces the people to buy that service or product.
Example . . . Unaffordable Obamacare
^this. Defining fascism without mentioning govt collusion with private sector biz is simply an abuse of the term.
I’m not a part of the crypto world.
Leftists are extremely uninformed and gullible about government.
The funny thing is, there are a significant amount of leftists in Bitcoin despite how hostile that space is to them. Despite whatever the podcasters say, bitcoiners are actually very likely to be amenable to leftist thought
