I would like to see your definition of fascism under which the German government is proto-fascist.

An authoritarian state that exercises oppressive power through legalistic institutions in league with a corporate oligarchy.

  • Germany has its problems, but it's consistently in the top 15 most democratic nations in the world.

    Calling a solidly democratic nation "fascist" is a rhetorical reversal straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
