[lbo-talk] More Rightwing proto-fascism

[Wojtek S]

Why do you call it proto-fascism?  These guys, and GOP as whole I may add,
are full blown fascists, there is no reason to pull wool over it.  The only
difference between them and the Nazis, the Mussolinis, the Pinochets and the
Videlas  is that GOP does not have the power to do as they please with their
enemies, or perhaps not yet.
