I agree that the U.S. is not fascist now. But Jim Crow was fascism for Black people, in all the essentials. It was pre-Italian fascism, but part of the rise of imperialism in the U.S., so it had the essential class characteristic and was open terrorist rule. It is important to say this to debunk the American myth of the ultimately democratic U.S., never fascist and all that.
