@nasd1066 @bombniks I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to in the 2nd paragraph, but simply put Americans and Americanized Westerners are not taught what fascism is because if you explore it any further than "funny moustache and Hug Boss uniforms" folks might start to recognize exactly how much fascist ideology the western capitalist nations they live in have incorporated.
It was not useful to McCarthyism or the Cold War to teach people what fascism is anymore.
