    That’s not what fascism is either lol

    I wouldn’t call china fascist, though doubtlessly authoritarian. But I don’t have nearly as much info on china, it seems to me the persecution of minorities is less of a central political scapegoat and more some weird side thing. But without speaking chinese, I might be wrong. The US had plenty of fascist characteristics at this point and is rather open about the persecution.

      The US is fascist because it’s in crisis. Imperialism is decaying and austerity is being brought inward.
