  • There is no definition of fascism that is exclusively that. Let’s take a list of key features defined by Umberto Eco, who was the expert on fascism and you can decide for yourself if Harris fits that:

    • The cult of tradition
    • The rejection of modernism
    • The cult of action for action’s sake
    • Disagreement is treason
    • Fear of difference
    • Appeal to social frustration
    • The enemy is both strong and weak
    • Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy
    • Contempt for the weak
    • Everybody is educated to become a hero
    • Machismo and weaponry
    • Selective populism
    • Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak
