The Right/Republicans/Conservatives likes to scream about Socialism, but a lot of us have done at least a little bit of due diligence and realize they're mainly just scaring themselves with ancient propaganda. There are a number of nations with significant measures of socialism in government and society, and they are among the happiest and healthiest in the world. Socialism isn't necessarily bad.
Is it possible that we on the Left/Democrats/Liberals are making the same mistake about fascism?
Is it possible for there to be good versions of fascism? Without the scapegoating and strong-arm policies? Maintaining some elements of democracy? Producing a happy and healthy society?
What would that look like?
I ask because we're told that if Trump wins we will be plunging into fascist rule. And so it makes sense to look for the silver lining, if there is one.
