How long do you think the province will last without shipments of anything from anywhere?

If we're looking for a clean def. of fascist we're not going to find one. Hitler's was inherently racist, Il Duce thought it was retarded to do so... You would too if you were a woop roach. Jk
"Lucrative merger between corporation and state" seems to be the most auxiliary. The Third Position differentiates itself from anything remotely communist by it trying to, at most regulate prices and industry preference, and not whole production, so the aim of the state and industry coalesce in mutual benefit rather than run itself into the ground through ideological aspirations.
"Might makes right" is another fascism axiom that is thrown around, but that is saved purely for the anti-labor actions and extracurricular border expansions...and dissidents.
Edit: before someone steps in; most things people could call authoritarian they feel are synonyms for "fascist"...this is a mistake. Fuck ALL authoritarians.

They're trying sleight of hand by making a big deal about Trudeau revoking his powers whilst doing this at the same time. Don't let them.
I fear they'll try bringing in more immigrant truckers. Seems to be their solution to everything.

"Might makes right" isn't a fascist axiom. It's a universal truth.

Shit like this is why I'm researching history to begin with, Fascism was distinctly against racism because Mussolini wanted the people of Italy to be united & Italy was a boiling pot of ethnicities, Mussolini would have disapproved of the KKK for being divisive.

Also the aggrieved townsfolk (redditors and twitter) are clearly exaggerating everything. The truckers, after the chaos of the first weekend, organized emergency routes street cleaning and quiet hours. The reason the city shut down was because the city government threw their toys out of the pram and ordered it closed, not because the truckers blocked the locals from doing business. The businesses that defied the city government in the downtown core actually did quite well.

Yes. Liberalism's "walk soft and carry a big stick" is literally built on this notion. It's just a notion that is applied to fascism as if it's a unique facet.

I thought it was because the banks said that there was a chance that the country would party like it’s 2008.
Is Ontario really that hated by the other provinces?

Yes. The national vote is ostensibly done after them paired with the timezones. Imagine voting after work on the west coast and immediately finding out it was ostensibly decided hours ago, and that fact then hampering anyone getting out and voting till polls close in B.C. hours later.

“Fascism” is the Italian name for the twentieth-century manifestation of certain trends in political philosophy that are probably as old as politics itself.
The distinguishing features of recent fascism have not been the profundity of its thought or the novelty of its elements, but the flair and efficiency with which these elements have been united, and the extreme lengths to which its doctrines have been carried.
The political philosophy called fascism is difficult to define, not so much because of its intrinsic complexity, as because of its eclectic and irrational character.
Fascist thinkers borrowed freely from both ancients and moderns and emerged with a potpourri of doctrine virtually impossible to present as a coherent political system.
This extensive borrowing from older thinkers includes Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Bodin who, although not fascists, provided important materials of which recent and contemporary fascists have made much use.
Out of this mixture of past and present, of principles and dogmas and expedients, three predominant streams of thought may be delineated.
Perhaps fascism can best be understood as the contemporary blending of these three philosophical traditions.
The first is the absolutist tradition. This is the view that the power of government, to be successful in its chief goal of maintaining and expanding itself, must lie in the hands of one powerful and intelligent leader— the prince or sovereign, Il Duce or Der Führer.
This absolutism has many ramifications. It helps determine the principles of organization within the state, which will be authoritarian and generally modeled on military lines. Since the leader is all-powerful, all authority and rights within the state will stem from him, while the virtues of the lower echelons will be chiefly those of responsibility and obedience.
Again, since the leader is the source of the law, he himself will be above the law. Therefore the standards of conduct that apply to him will not be those of the private citizen; as leader of the state he can be judged only by his success in maintaining and extending his power and the power of the state.
The result has rightly been called Machiavellianism, for fascist dictators have generally acted under the old principle that “if the act accuse him, the result will excuse him."
The second leading element in fascism is organicims, or the theory that a nation is an organic unity like a human being, having many separate organs that contribute to the general welfare, and a larger interest, or general will, that is superior to, and more important than, the interest or will of any particular member or members. There is some plausibility in this organic approach to the nature of states, and fascists are not the only theorists who have developed it.
Organicism, however, when carried to extremes, can lead to the conclusion that the state is not only a real person, but a superperson whose reality is greater than that of any individual within it, and whose will is always the true will of its members, whether they think so or not.
The state, or superorganism, will then be fully justified in liquidating those elements within in that interfere with its larger good. Some such views have even endowed the state with supernatural or divine power. Hegel said “The march of God in the world, that is what the State is.” One serious problem for this theory is that of determining what the will of the state really is and how it is to be known.
This kind of problem is resolved, though often painfully, when the theories of organicism and absolutism are combined. The general will of the state is thus identified with the will of its leader.
This identification is one of the distinguishing marks of recent German and Italian fascism.
Acting as a catalyst in combining the two characteristics already mentioned is a third, no less important: the attitude, and sometimes even the methodology, of deliberate irrationalism.
Although many varieties of philosophic irrationalism became popular during the nineteenth century through the works of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and others, it was only at the beginning of the twentieth century that this approach was seriously applied to politics.
Armed with this defense against rational criticism, the philosophy of fascism could proceed with the manufacture of effective social myths, attaching them to a latent but powerful nationalistic sentiment.
It is perhaps overly simple, but not incorrect, to describe fascism as more than the philosophical commingling of these traditions of absolutism, organicism, and irrationalism.
Unlike communism, whose classical statement is found in the philosophy of the nineteenth century, fascism received its full formulation much more recently.
Like communism, however, the hard realities of its practice, including many ramifications that may not have been foreseen, have become clear only in the past half century.

So how long until emergency powers come sailing back in because we must protect the holy supply of Ukrainian crack to Hunter Biden?

Holy fuck no. I'm actually kind of glad he displayed such weakness that anyone remotely human put up against him in the next real elections can slam-dunk him. His behavior in this whole affair has been absolutely atrocious. Seriously you guys could replace Trudeau with the crack-reanimated zombie of Rob Ford and be doing better.
Not my problem though, dumb leaves.

BLMTIFA have become pariah organizations in America and will likely never recover in their current forms. They'll have to go underground, regroup, rebrand and re-emerge in 5-10 years.
On the other hand, the truckers have already been vindicated and will go down as heroes, setting a positive example for anybody right of hardcore commies for the next 5-10 years.
They didn't have the instant coooming of The Summer of Love but in the end, it was a more powerful move.

If Trump is the nominee in 2024, Antifa/BLM will be used to target Republican events to try and blunt his run.
If he wins a 3rd time, they'll start showing up every time it's nice out starting 2025. The only difference is Trump won't need to worry about getting re-elected and knows how the game is played now, I fully expect him to fire people until he has a team that will target them. State DAs are no good but I'm sure he can find some federal charges to start hitting them with. Then it's just a matter of refusing them bail and then delaying the trial until 2028 or beyond.

You mean Catholics? Because Mussolini cut a deal with the Catholic Church for their support & gave Jews the option to convert to Catholicism once Hitler started imposing Anti-Jewish policy on Mussolini.
