Commander_Q comments on TIL That In 1933 The Heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family, and Senator Prescott Bush Tried To Lead a Military Coup Against President FDR & Install a Fascist Dictatorship in the United States (WTF): "Fascism per se requires authoritarian and nationalist governance. It may not always be crazy Jew-killing (although it essentially always does involve some of that in practice), but fascism DOES necessarily mean strict oppression of minority views and cultural dispositions.

The essential problem with fascism is the same as the essential problem with communism: to decide by fiat what the goals, culture, and role of everyone will be requires either unanimous consensus or brutal repression of dissent."
