Tucker Carlson: Making businesses serve gay customers is “fascism”

[pampango]

50. Everyone you disagree with is not a fascist, Tucker. See the definition:

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.

Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on nationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation and asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations.

Fascism borrowed theories and terminology from socialism but replaced socialism's focus on class conflict with a focus on conflict between nations and races. Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky (when an entity can survive or continue its activities without external assistance or international trade) to secure national self-sufficiency and independence through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.

Tucker, switching the focus from class conflict to a focus on "us vs. them" based on "nations (nationalities) or races" or sexual orientation (all attributes one is born with) is the essence of fascism.
