Fascism.
I'm confused, are you saying he's using it wrong?
Here's a copy paste from Webster.
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Replace the word race with party and you've got an incomplete yes, but not necessarily inaccurate description of Stalins USSR.
Seriously not trying to just be a troll or shill here, so if you feel I'm wrong please let me know how and why. I am legitimately, in good faith, curious about the perspectives of some communist here. It is an ideology I am somewhat interested in.
That's a pretty significant difference, don't you think? Exalting racism and exalting a political organization that opposes racism are diametrically opposed things, not equivalent.
Let's not act like certain race and cultures didn't get heavily oppressed in USSR and China.
No idea why op would even mention the political stuff.
I would not be surprised if legitimately not a single person on hexbear has ever actually been to China. It's an extremely racist place. The vast majority of hotels in China will not even rent a room to anyone without a Chinese passport. Even if you are traveling with Chinese people - if you look foreign, they will deny you service at a glance.
I have been all over the world, and China is the only place where this happens.
there are hexbears who live in China and are Chinese
