Meaning what?Again always about the sides.
Meaning you always go back and talk bad about liberals/progressives/dems.Meaning what?
Is what I said bad?Meaning you always go back and talk bad about liberals/progressives/dems.
When in the facism thread yes.Is what I said bad?
And that was my point. If you change the context from "state" to "government" then many progressives agree with many of the statements. If you think it's bad then maybe you need to change your political philosophy. As a for instance, one of the first questions in the survey was:When in the facism thread yes.

"A plurality of political parties is necessary to ensure that no one circle of individuals gets too complacent in power."
We have a famous column from Thomas Friedman in the New York Times extolling the virtues of single party rule:
"One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages."

China’s one-party autocracy can impose the important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. Is this a political advantage?www.nytimes.com
So, if your progressivism resembles fascism just a little too much by agreeing with statements if you change the words from "state" to "government", then don't be a fascist. I quit the Republican party because I don't want to be associated with racist neo-fascists because I am not a racist neo-fascist.
Was a bare, unsupported contention that most progressives are, in fact, fascists (which you’ve now supported with a single opinion from a single progressive who may very well have fascist leanings IMO) rather than cautionary advice that IF your progressivism resembles fascism, then don’t be a fascist.If they changed the wording on those questions from "the state" to "the government" I think that many if not most progressives would agree with the statements.
Or if you are any percentage not fascist, you are not fascist?I would think if you are any percent fascist, you are fascist.
Makes me wonder if anyone gets a zero. My hippie philosophy only got me a 18% not fascist.I would think if you are any percent fascist, you are fascist.
