Repeated False Accusations of Fascism
Are the policies of the left so flawed that they must resort to ad hominem attacks?
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”
―Benito Mussolini
From a political science standpoint, “Fascism” is a political system representing the integration of socialism with corporatism and the administrative state. The term NAZI is an abbreviated acronym for the German term “Nationalsozialismus”. A case can be made that German “Democratic Socialism” of the present is, to a significant extent, a softer and more palatable version of “Nationalsozialismus” shorn of the anti-semitic component. Likewise, the WEF/Klaus Schwab logic of “stakeholder capitalism” originates in aspects of the political thought underpinning historic German National Socialism.
In his 1923 pamphlet “The Doctrine of Fascism,” Benito Mussolini wrote “If classical liberalism spells individualism, Fascism spells government.” Mussolini’s Fascism was not about individual freedom or laissez-faire economics but rather about the state’s control over the economy and society, with corporations playing a key role. Precisely the political structure being so actively endorsed, promoted and defended by today’s European Parliament “mainstream” members, the European Council and its leadership, the socialist leadership of the United Nations, and the UN partner organization the World Economic Forum and its leadership. Those without sin should cast the first stone, and those who live in glass houses should avoid stoning altogether.
In other words, if we objectively apply political science definitions and historical precedents, the current modern left-wing socialist politics prevalent in the European Union, European Council, and the majority of European NATO-allied nations are closer to the European Fascist parties of the 1920s and 1930s than are the center-right populist movements currently sweeping across Europe, North America, Australia, and Argentina. To a significant extent, the political and economic logic underpinning this left-wing Euro-logic is also grounded in the “Communist” theories of Karl Marx and his disciples.
And yet these center-right parties and their leaders are repeatedly labeled Fascist. From the standpoint of objective analysis of logical fallacies, at best, this is an Ad Hominem. At worst it is yet another example of actively and repeatedly deployed Psychological Warfare- PsyWar- and propaganda. Given the history and current policies of Euro-socialists today, these examples of “false witness” also appear to represent psychological projection.
In psychology, projection is a defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously attributes their own unacceptable thoughts, feelings, or behaviors to someone else. This process helps the individual cope with internal stress and avoid confronting their own traits or emotions that are difficult to acknowledge. For example, if someone feels jealous but accuses their partner of being jealous, they are projecting their own feelings. Another example is when someone is a fan of socialist-corporatism (“democratic socialism”) but accuses others of being Fascist (the definition of “Fascism” being socialistic corporatism).
Nazism and Communism imagine themselves as exact opposites. They are at each other’s throats wherever they exist all over the world. They actually breed each other; for the reaction against Communism is Nazism, and beneath Nazism or Fascism Communism stirs convulsively.
Yet they are similar in all essentials. First of all, their simplicity is remarkable. You leave out God and put in the Devil; you leave out love and put in hate; and everything thereafter works quite straightforwardly and logically.
They are, in fact, as alike as two peas. Tweedledum and Tweedledee are two quite distinctive personalities compared to these two rival religions.

Corporate media, guided and harmonized to a significant extent by the BBC-led “Trusted News Initiative,” repeatedly labels these center-right populist movements and their leaders as “Far-Right,” “Neo-Nazi,” “Neo-Fascist” or just plain Fascist. Frequently trotted out in the run-up to elections, this trope has been deployed by left-wing governments, corporate media, and their allies so often that it is losing its potency to polarize electorates and dissuade voters.
Socialist-leaning left-wing politicians and reporters who routinely deploy accusations of Fascism reveal the weakness and failure of their political philosophy and ideas. Borrowing from the jargon of US Football, this is akin to a desperate ‘Hail Mary” pass. But this tactic is much more than that. It is bullying, and it is projection.

Session #1 was titled “Defending Western Values in the European Parliament”, session #2 was titled “True Fundamental Values and their Role in Reshaping Europe’s Future.”
For example, this corporate media trope involving accusations of “NAZI,” “Far-Right” or “Fascist” continues to be deployed against Georgia Meloni and her “Brothers of Italy” party, despite her explicit rejection of fascist political philosophy.
Italy's Meloni tells her party there is no room for fascism in its ranks
ROME, July 2 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told her Brothers of Italy party on Tuesday that it should expunge from its ranks anyone who idolises Italy's fascist past.
Her call came after an undercover media investigation last week released a video of members of her party's youth wing making fascist salutes and chanting "Sieg Heil".
In a letter to party leaders, Meloni said she was "angry and saddened" that their actions damaged the group's reputation.
"There is no room in Brothers of Italy for racism or antisemitism, nor is there space for those who are nostalgic for the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century or for any manifestation of foolish folklore," she wrote.
"Our task is too great for those who have not understood its scope to be allowed to ruin it."
Similarly, the self-described anarchocapitalist Austrian School economist President of Argentina, Javier Milei, who appears to be saving the economy of that nation by applying anarchocapitalistic solutions, has been repeatedly labeled a NAZI by Western corporate media, particularly before his election as President.
In today’s Germany, the center-right populist political party known by the acronym AFD (Alliance for Germany or Deutschland) is frequently accused of being far-right NAZIs. Flying a German flag, expressing national pride, or celebrating nationalism is also considered “far right”. Meanwhile the Eurosocialist left swears forever support and virtual fealty to the current government of Ukraine, which incorporates a significant contingent of true, self-professed neo-Nazis.
Western corporate media concept of the political spectrum
And then there is France’s Marie Le Pen and the “National Rally” party, Dutch politician Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom, Nigel Farage and the British Reform UK party, and of course US President Donald Trump and MAGA.
All repeatedly and routinely labeled as Fascists or “Far Right” by worldwide Western corporate media and Wikipedia.
The truth is more closely aligned with the meme first generated by Colin Wright and made famous by Elon Musk:
We must stop allowing corporate media and the far left to demonize us as a way to keep our voices, thoughts and ideas from being heard and considered by others. These are the tactics of bullies, specifically those losing the battle in the marketplace of ideas.
The old, outdated socialist concepts associated with European-style “socialist democracy” and “stakeholder capitalism” have failed. Economically, Europe is falling further and further behind. The United States is being slowly strangled by the influx and infiltration of Marxist ideology - particularly the emphasis on DEI, Critical Race Theory, ESG, and rejection of merit-based hiring and promotion. We are following Europe down the failed and discredited road of socialism.
Its time to stop and look around. Take note of what is happening.
Globalism and its policies are failing. They are not the path forward, but rather the way forward is to emphasize equality of opportunity in health AND economics, not equality of outcomes.
