- "Oh so they like the right kind of bureaucrats?? So they don't 'attack bureaucrats, calling the systems 'bloated', 'useless', etc."
I don't really understand what you're not understanding, Fascism is largely about rhetoric, not true actions. The point is undermining the current authority, which is largely apolitical, often leads to politicized bureaucrats in the future. See earlier, where far-right parties in Britain pledge to fill civil service jobs with 'believers'.
You seem to be a guy who *really* takes people at their word, so lets quickly talk about that.
- "Fascism is a left-wing ideology"
They'd call themselves 'Third position', but it's clear to anyone they're right wing. Pro-privatization, racist/antisemitic, pro-business, anti-union, the list goes on. Fascism was backed by business! Ford LOVED the Nazis! Mussolini *WAS* a socialist in youth, but later wasn't. Franco the Fascist literally fought a civil war against socialists. Hitler put socialists into camps, thus they saying 'First they came for the socialists.'
Do you believe The CCP is actually communist? Or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is actually Democratic? Words only carry truth when associated with actions. The Fascists of the world made their economic and social policy clear.
You are right, it wasn't an accident that the Nazis called themselves "national socialists". It was called that before Hitler joined, and he ran with it. It was a term that didn't have negative connotations back then. You believe people can't lie?
- "And by the way, just look at the federal budget. We're 34 trillion-with-a-T dollars in debt thanks in large part to these tax-eating parasites."
Who was it that started the national debt raising? Right-wing hero Reagan. Who's tenure not only drastically increased military spending, but increased poverty in the country too. Whilst drastically increasing national debt. I make no exaggeration to say Reagan was the worst president in US history, no president comes close to the long term damage done, both in literal terms, and in terms of shifting the Overton-window to his stupid neolib politics.
Regardless, I wont deny there *is* wasteful spending, but most of that is not bureaucrats, the majority of that wasteful spending is certainly in the MIC.
I will double down on the Nazi thing, you haven't rebutted this claim. I'm saying removing checks and balances makes it far easier for a Fascist regime to come about. I'm not saying Milei is a Nazi, but cutting 'the size of the government' undeniably makes it far, far easier to do drastic measures.
- "I'm an anarchist dummy, I don't want any of those things done at all. It doesn't make me a fascist to say I don't want them done by demagogues OR that I don't want them done by bureaucrats."
Do you think Milei is an Anarchist? Genuinely? He is a pro-America, pro-global banking shill who's deregulating his economy and encouraging privatization. Is private companies and America ruling 'Anarchism'?
