I'm struck by how debates over whether Trumpism is fascism or the Israeli system is apartheid are stuck in the realm of analogy, rather than category.

Genocide, another category that demands action, is an interesting middle ground. People argue somewhat categorically, but behind it looms the Holocaust as ur-genocide, so the analogy always looms behind the category.

I pointed out to a friend a few years ago that liberal zionists were much more comfortable talking about Israeli society as "increasingly fascist" than they were with "apartheid." This was even more part of the discourse in Israel & eventually appropriated as a joke by the Rightpic.twitter.com/ZEQO5kOx5Z
