The same applies to all right-wing populists who, as if they were implementing 1 Cyrillic script in their countries, Because, of course, they are besides joined by worship for Putin and his large power, read the fascist imagination of the world.
Because it's precisely what 1 of the American net users wrote on X: In the 21st century, a "powerful" attitude consisting of this, 1 can assault a neighbouring country and execution its citizens savagely, is pure embodimented fascism. Like dividing people into better and worse, breaking the law and utilizing force to endure all restrictions on their own power and sowing propaganda.
Are Trump, Putin and their insignificant varieties like Kaczyński, Morawiecki, Salwini, Fico, Meloni, Le Penn and another specified politicians fascists in the classical sense – like Mussolini fascists or Hi*ler's Nazis? Nope.
Does their political style, attitude towards the world, people, institutions, another countries and their own citizens show a good resemblance to many features of Fascism? Of course I do.
And if you add that fascism, like any criminal approach to the world, does not happen immediately in its darkest dimension, but leads to a series of steps, each of which is another crossing of a border – we already know everything we request to know to be very afraid of specified politicians.
Leader's cult, individual worship? There you go. Trump, Putin, Kaczyński and everything else - you see the similarities? They become above the law, the standards, the rules of social and moral standards, and show all step of the way a shoe, rudeness, contempt for others and a sense of impunity and omnipotence.
Plus – they show at all step the deficiency of authoreflexion and remorse. They play the function of self-proclaimed saviors of the nation and "saviors" of their country from non-existent threats, and show the belief that so the goal sanctifies the means and "I am allowed."
When we add them complete arrogance, lies, rejection of all compromises and restrictions, especially constitutional and legal and listening only to our own voice, nationalism, national chauvinism and the slogan "rebuilding the greatness" of an empire, country or region - we have a set of convictions that have already led to full-scale totalitarianism.
Another fascist feature is, of course, pointing out enemies to be annihilated and fought against. In Hi*ler, they were judaic people, communists and liberals who threatened the purity of the race and interests of the German people.
In Trump, Putin, Kaczyński and another brown politicians are media, migrants, homosexuals, women who do not follow the rules of the patriarchal world, rights and civilian liberties, scientists, social activists, free media, free courts, political opposition, in a word of all that can harm the power of the dictator.
In addition, 1 can see to the bare eye the effort to rise societies again, their kind of rehabilitation into dictatorship and the glorification of militarism. Plus the rhetoric of "destruction of the enemy", "defence of the conventional order", the stigma of "derogations from the norm" (and the norm is determined by the dictator), the usage of force as a political tool, and later the effort to normalize this state of affairs with the hope that people will succumb to fear or simply get utilized to being "holding them by the mouth."
This, in fact, is served by suppressing all criticism, free thinking, smoking books, or at least removing them from libraries, writing past again. And the distinctive "inverted" language of Orwell, in which all these crimes, the rapes of democracy and people and crimes are depicted as activities serving the welfare of the state and the "security of the homeland".
And brutally imposing your own narratives with demeaning, mocking and blackmailing or trying to destruct anyone who opposes them does not let silence or blackmail.
The modern planet in many respects is different from the past century, it is clear that 2025 differs from 1925, but there are besides sinister similarities, universal rules and laws, which act the same way human nature remains and the mechanisms governing it.
It is not duties that are a problem, nor are they the single moves of modern dictators and brown politicians, but their broader, organized into a certain fashion, leading to a determined, always the same purpose.
If we want to win this civilizational war that is taking place in front of us all over the world, we request to see a pattern in the action of the leaders creating the axis of evil and actively argue it. Work out a plan to destruct the full evil system. Otherwise, we share the destiny of our ancestors.
