    Fascists and liberals are not the exact same thing. Liberals prefer to implement the final solution on a slightly slower timetable and in stages, while fascists are more inclined to just cut loose all undesirables as fast as possible.

      IMHO, Liberals (in the American sense, rather than the pure ideology) change the rules to reduce and even remove viable choices, whilst Fascists just directly do the chosing for you.

      In other words, Liberals take the posh, pressure-based path to constrain others so that they ultimatelly do what’s best for the Liberal leadership (or suffer if they don’t), whilst Fascists just use Force directly or at best with a thin layer of social acceptability in the form of Laws that make your not doing what they want illegal.

      Because of the far more covert nature of the way Liberals force choices on others and the many layers than compose the system they use to do it, many people literally can’t see how they’re being corralled into specific choices and think they’re free.
