Now that we have established that Trump is a fascist, what other modern fascists can you think of?

Asked by Caravanfan (13767points) 3 weeks ago

Political leaders, pundits, etc. If you can, provide examples of why that is.

The most obvious examples of fascist political parties are Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, Fratelli d’Italia in Italy, and Zafer Partisi in Turkey. In the United States, both Vanguard America and Patriot Front are explicitly neo-fascist organizations, and all of the various neo-Confederate groups are arguably fascists or at least fascism-adjacent. In India, the Hindutva ideology was directly inspired by European fascism and in turn influenced both the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bharatiya Janata Party (neither of which are explicitly fascist, to be clear, though they have used fascist rhetoric and are frequently accused of being on the cusp of tipping into fascism).

Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s current prime minister, is a member of the Brothers of Italy party, which has neo-fascist roots.
