"Islamo-fascism"?? |
|

Posted by Olog-hai on Mon Jul 18 15:37:02 2005 Man, do I hate pseudojargon.As I understand Fascism (from the old Roman symbol for the magistrate's authority; the word refers to rods around an axe-handle), it exalts the state above the individual; it urges loyalty to a single supreme leader; it is desperately anti-Communist and against other left-wing political ideals; it also exalts corporatism as a form of government; and indeed it is very totalitarian and employs violence and propaganda to enforce its agenda. Muslim extremism would be better described as a form of theocratic totalitarianism, correct? It does not recognize any state; it is against both right and left wings of Westernized political systems; it certainly does not want corporations, but rather clerics to hold the rule of law . . . |
