It seems to me that conservatism is just fascism with a friendlier face or a type of proto-fascism.
No liberalism is fascism with a friendlier face. Conservatism is just a kind of liberalism that yearns to return to an earlier time.
Look the the words of William F Buckley: To stand athwart history saying stop
One way to define fascism is that it’s capitalism’s self-defense mechanism against the workers organizing, and through this lens you can see conservatism as that self-defense operating “normally” and fascism as it in “crisis mode”.
Yes
Conservatism is a political marriage of fascists who were never denazified with religious fundamentalists, imperialists/neocons, some of the lumpenproletariat, petty bourgeois, and the actual bourgeois
They are usually all on board with fascism though, so maybe my characterization is flawed
It depends on how you look at it, but the ultranationalism, fervent reinforcement of hierarchical domination, attacks on innocent citizens within marginalized groups, corporate pandering, and just overall awfulness can make it seem so. It’s just the difference between whether the mask is on or off at this point.
Yeah, more or less. There are differences sometimes, but they don’t matter.
