Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright observed some years ago that fascism is quite hard to define. It is not an ideology, she said. “I think it is a method, it’s a system.”
If it is a system, one of its most important processes is co-opting the military, perverting its independence into subservience. It is the method through which a fascist party can impose its will on the public without fear of resistance.
I think screaming that Trump is Hitler every 5 minutes as the Star does is the real “fascist system”.
