Define "fascist".
Now explain how that isnt the bulk of these Identity Politick / SJW / BLM / Antifa types (that is its about pointless even mentioning their ilk for one side but not the other).
Or describe how Marxists arent Communists and how they're better for humanity than Fascists.
Because this ZOMG ITS TEH FASCISTS mania from followers of Marx is quite bizarre and played out at this point.

Similarly important is for people who see Marxists and Communists and Lefties everywhere, is that really, there's virtually no Marxists or communists, and what is called a 'lefty' in American politics is actually somebody on the center-right.
These definitions are terribly important too.
