Of course, there will be many interpretations, but what are the defining Marxist ideas on the definition?

I ask, because you see a lot of libs and liblefts calling America fascist, but then being asked how, and not being able to respond. It makes them (and us, because we always get lumped in with them) look bad. I'd like to be able to step in if I ever witness such a thing.

i feel we need some precision in words, but at the same time i recognize its kinda lost battle. the thing is fascism is forward looking (yes, by channelling the past, but still to the future). All america does is circlejerk itself about the 50s-60s, there is no bridge to the future from there
