Let me be blunt.

The Dimitrov definition was wrong when it was formulated over the objection across two plenums of many delegates with actual direct experience with fascism in its stage as a mass movement.

It was simplistic, factually false, and ideologically-motivated.

It was crap then and it is crap now.

^^^^^ CharlesB: Blunt back at you. What's wrong with it ? Asserting baldfacedly without argument that it's wrong is soooo unimpressive it makes me laugh. Dimitrov had experience fighting fascism directly , too, no ? Like he was tried for the Reichstag fire.

The "open terrorist rule" part is so obviously _factually_ correct you sound ridiculous calling it wrong. What's the class analysis in your definition ? What's your theory or ideology ?
