What is Fascism? Who are today’s modern Fascists?
I asked Grok to draw a modern Fascist, and this is the image it created….
Fascism became a swear word in the US and UK during the Second World War. So it has been ever since, to the point that the term’s original meaning has been completely lost. It is no longer used as a term defining a system of political economy but rather is routinely deployed as a weaponized insult drained of meaning and context.
Modern corporate media repeatedly labels center-right populist movements and their leaders as “Far-Right,” “Neo-Nazi,” “Neo-Fascist” or just plain Fascist. Frequently trotted out in the run-up to elections, this trope has been deployed by left-wing governments, corporate media, and their allies so often that it is losing its potency to polarize electorates and dissuade voters.

For example, this corporate media trope involving accusations of “NAZI,” “Far-Right” or “Fascist” continues to be deployed against Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, and her “Brothers of Italy” party, despite her explicit rejection of fascist political philosophy.
Similarly, the self-described anarchocapitalist Austrian School economist President of Argentina, Javier Milei, who appears to be saving the economy of that nation by applying anarchocapitalistic solutions, has been repeatedly labeled a NAZI by Western corporate media, particularly before his election as President.
In today’s Germany, the center-right populist political party known by the acronym AFD (Alliance for Germany or Deutschland) is frequently accused of being far-right NAZIs. Flying a German flag, expressing national pride, or celebrating nationalism is also considered “far right”. Meanwhile, the Eurosocialist left swears forever support and virtual fealty to the current government of Ukraine, which incorporates a significant contingent of true, self-professed neo-Nazis.
And then there is France’s Marie Le Pen and the “National Rally” party, Dutch politician Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom, Nigel Farage and the British Reform UK party, and of course, US President Donald Trump and MAGA. All these and more are repeatedly and routinely labeled as Fascists or “Far Right” by worldwide Western corporate media and Wikipedia.
From the standpoint of objective analysis of logical fallacies, at best, this is an Ad Hominem. At worst, it is yet another example of actively and repeatedly deployed Psychological Warfare- PsyWar- and propaganda. Socialist-leaning left-wing politicians and reporters who routinely deploy accusations of Fascism against their opponents reveal the weakness and failure of their political philosophy and ideas. Borrowing from the jargon of US Football, this is akin to a desperate ‘Hail Mary” pass. This is really just bullying, and it is also projection.
In psychology, projection is a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to someone else. This process helps the individual cope with internal stress and avoid confronting their own traits or emotions that are difficult to acknowledge. For example, if someone feels jealous but accuses their partner of being envious, they are projecting their own feelings. Another example is when someone is a fan of socialist-corporatism (“democratic socialism”) but accuses others of being Fascist (the definition of “Fascism” being socialistic corporatism).
We must stop permitting corporate media and the far left to demonize the center-right with these terms as a way to keep our voices, thoughts, and ideas from being heard and considered by others. These are the tactics of bullies, specifically those losing a political battle in the marketplace of ideas and political philosophies.
If we go back a decade before the Second World War, we find a completely different situation. Read any writings from polite society from 1932 to 1940 or so, and you are likely to find a consensus that freedom and democracy, along with Enlightenment-style liberalism of the 18th century, were completely doomed. Leading scholars of that period proposed that these systems should be replaced by some version of what was called the planned society, of which fascism was one example.
