Hitler also loved german shepherds. Does that make them wrong?

Every day Hitler took amphetamines. That means that tweekers are fascists.
Not quite. Actually, more strict definitions need to be employed here. Fascism is a very broad term which is abused constantly to the point where someone could be forgiven for thinking it means "whatever takes your fancy". At its core, fascism implies a set of characteristics that we would associate with a party or a nation which was fascist. These are:
-Militarism
-Imperialism
-Nationalism/jingoism
-An emphasis on anti-intellectualism, the use of propaganda, and some mouthpiece organization in which the ideological principles of the state are handed down to the people. In Italy, for example (a fascist state from 1928-1943) this was the Catholic Church.
-A corporate state
The fifth thing needs a precise definition. In a bona fide democracy, the state cannot function like a corporation. It must have checks and balances within it. It is not a homogeneous entity working toward one goal under centralized control. That's why a real democracy, for example, will have an independant judiciary. But a fascist state will have a corporate structure of government, in the sense that various bodies are not checks and balances to ensure that the overall entity does not gain too much power, but rather they are all an umbrella under a supreme leadership. At the risk of sounding lame, the perfect example of this is the movie V for Vendetta. The party (Norsefire) was highly fascist in nature. The church, the media, the judiciary, and the law enforcement, were not independant state agencies, but rather they were all under the same umbrella which acted directly on the needs of Sutler. Remember what Dascombe said: "Besides, it's not [The media's] job to fabricate the news. That's the government's job".The BTN was essentially the propaganda mouthpiece of the government, as was the church.
Now the sixth thing, and for the purpose of this discussion, the most important. Politically, fascist states are highly conservative and reactionary, and consequently emphasize things like "traditional values". The fascist states like Japan, Italy and Nazi Germany loathed communism, since they were on the far right, and the communists were on the far left (even though the two really were not that different). As a consequence, because these dictatorships arose in the 1930s when there was fear of the "Bolshevik menace", the right wing in Germany found itself with wealthy backers, the Schacht, or "big business". The Nazi state could not survive without the support of corporations like IG Farben. The resulting link between capitalism (which is an economic system) and fascism (which is a political one) was born out of this time period. There is no innate ideological connection. A state being capitalist does not imply it is fascist, nor does a state being fascist imply it is capitalist. In many ways, the USSR, for example, exhibited most if not all of the things mentioned above. The definition of "fascism" is very broad and encompasses a range of economic doctrines.
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

deludedgod wrote what fascism is,but do you believe that we live in a real democracy or is it an oligarchy ? www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Chomsky/Propaganda_PublicMind.html and Albert Michael's view www.zmag.org/znet/viewArticle20850, tell me what you think.

Who's "we"? I certainly don't live in a democracy. This is the Special Administrative Region of a communist country.

I'm not a US citizen. As I said above, I live in Hong Kong. I am a citizen of Canda.

Like I said above,I'm not a US citizen . So sorry, my bad. I didn't know if you were joking.
The last time I lived in the US was when I went to university. I loved my time there. The campus environment was great. It was so rigorous and intellectual. The best part was, unlike most campuses, no one was constantly droning on about politics. Everyone was too focused on science.
