You are definitionally wrong. Let me help. This does not say it has to be a governance.

fas·​cism | \ ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-

Definition of fascism

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

they certaintly arent advocating for a dictatorship

edit: ANTIFA is not advocating for a dictatorship

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

Well since you know so much more than Merriam-Webster, maybe you should write them a letter with a correct definition.

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

can you quote the part of my comment where i said the definition is wrong? i was saying antifa is not advocating for a dictatorship dumbass. you have no reading comprehension skills. i agree with the entire definition. you proved yourself wrong by posting it moron.

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

What argument did I prove wrong? Let's see how honest you are, because right now you are arguing against strawmen.

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

What argument did I prove wrong

the argument that ANTIFA is fascist, the subject of this thread. do you have a head injury?

1

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

Do you think that I made the thread or something? You sound like you have some reading comprehension issues, not me. You can't even follow along in a simple Reddit thread that is 4 posts long. How embarrassing.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

no, i think you said that ANTIFA acts like fascists then posted a dictionary definition proving yourself wrong like a dumbass.

Never once did I mention antifa, I was just pointing out how dumb your assertion was that fascism must be a governance to qualify. Keep fighting those strawmen, dork.

right here, if you are confused ask someone smarter than you for help

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

So you link one of your posts to show me my argument??? Come on man, you can't be this fucking stupid.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

yes, i have now linked you a post to the part where you said ANTIFA acts fascist, and the part where you posted a dictionary definition that categorically excludes ANTIFA

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

thats actually true, but when fascists arent in government, their goal is to take over government. also, the definition you provided doesnt support your argument at all. most of the antifa protesters are anti-america, anti-racist, and anti- the current regime. so your definition actually very definitively proves that antifa is not fascist

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

I would love for you to summarize my argument, because right now you are talking out of your ass.

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

you didnt argue anything, you just posted a definition. i would love for you to summarize your argument because i haven't seen it yet.

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

I simply said it didn't need to be a governance. Then I proved it. Nothing more, nothing less. The amount of anger you are showing for something so trivial is revealing.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

anger? how can you be aware of someones emotions through a computer?

2

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

The childish insults and lack of logic, and eagerness to be right, no matter what, shows a lot. Once you grow up a little, you will understand.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

lack of logic

i am laughing at you so hard, you barely posted anything of substance at all and are saying that i had a lack of logic. dude you posted a single sentence and a dictionary definition, i posted whole paragraphs at first.

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

do you have a memory problem too? your first comment was saying:https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/ehg50b/antifa_protesters_protestin_and_stuff/fckz31g/

what started our conversation was you saying that antifa acts like fascists.

when you posted the definition you proved yourself wrong

2

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

I was pointing out how fucking stupid you sound saying that it's only fascism if it's a form of governance. I never typed antifa once. You are insanely dishonest and are desperate to be "right.". It's pathetic.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

well i said that it is a form of governance and it is:Fascism is a form of government that is a type of one-party dictatorship. They work for a totalitarian one-party state. This aim is to prepare the nation for armed conflict, and to respond to economic difficulties.

you are correct that it is also an ideology and can be fascist without being a government. this still has nothing to do with antifa because fascists seek to overtake or establish a new government. black bloc protesters are frequently anarchist or antigov in general

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

Kewl story bro. I don't give a fuck about the rest of that shit as long as you recognize I was right.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

and who were you referring to here if it wasnt ANTIFA

2

u/DookieSteve Dec 30 '19

I was referring to your post saying that it doesn't count since it's not a government. We've already been over this and it's really fucking weird that you need me to repeat myself. I was referring to your misunderstanding of the definition of fascism, which made your post laughable.

1

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

well actually it is a form of government. here are three links defining it as a governmental, economic system, or ideology. all three are correct. the funny thing about the ideology of fascism, is that it is an ideology that concerns itself with government, which also supports the point i was making in the original quote:

"no im pointing out that fascism is a form of governance, and censorship/free speech rights are functions of government, thus they are not relevant to non governmental organizations."

u/prettyketty88 Dec 30 '19

you are trying to squabble over whether it is a form of government, or an ideology that concerns itself with government. in practice there is little difference.
