Is fascism back with us?

Yep that's China in nutshell

Agreed. So there isn’t really too much difference between the extremes of left and right.

With that in mind I don’t think the Tories are on the extreme - although it’s not impossible to pick out specific actions and class them as heading towards an extreme policy.

And similar accusations to be laid at the door of Starmer by removing those that didn’t toe his line - the culling of those corbynites a case in point. You could call that on the path to extreme by him exercising his power to remove those who disagreed with him - the dissenters. The Labour Party is suppressing freedom of speech… Jess Barnard an example.

Yes it’s classic whataboutery but I’m not trying to excuse the Tories here, or more specifically Johnson - he’s lost control and with his majority he bloody well had it. Power can corrupt anyone into exercising it. Johnson’s problem is he is a bit too incompetent to be given it but that doesn’t stop him trying, he is that perfect blend of idiocy and over confidence.

Following the events of violent insurrection in the US just over the past 12 months its clear the US is creeping ever closer to a full blown fascist state. There are rumours that there are factions within the US army are ready to defy the current US commander in chief and support the previous disposed one.

The rise of fascism is happening all over the world Turkey, Hungary, Brazil, India, China, Russia and course in the UK. In particular in the UK we have a government that wants to overturn a jury lead court case because it doesn't like the outcome. Or remove free testing for Covid kits so that it can pretend the pandemic is all over and it no longer exists.
Maybe I am missing something but>>>

Fascism it doesn't goose step in with jack boots more creeping in with carpet slippers

If Fascism is back, could the apostrophe join us too?

Hindu nationalism yeah.

How Hindu supremacists are tearing India apart

The long read: For seven decades, India has been held together by its constitution, which promises equality to all. But Narendra Modi’s BJP is remaking the nation into one where some people count as more Indian than others

'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children'. 14 word slogan beloved of white supremacists.
