CB: The US has a longer history of fascist and racist movements than Austria, Germany or Israel. The country was founded on a genocide against the indigenous inhabitants of the land, and before Nazi concentration campse, Indians were forced onto reservation camps.
For centuries the European colonialists also perpetrated genocidal enslavement of Africans. Even with the end of slavery, the Segregation/KKK/ lynching movements preceded European fascism. Fascist segregationists held state power in all the ex-Confederate U.S. states for decades before Mussolini or Hitler founded their movements.
