      1. In terms of whether Trump is a fascist, worth looking at theories of palingenetic ultranationalism:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palingenetic_ultranationalism …

      2. What is palingenetic ultranationalism? Idea nation has been diminished, betrayed & needs to be reborn. "Make America great again"

      3. Of course palingenetic ultranationalism is necessary precondition, sine qua non, of fascism, but there have to be other elements as well

      4. Some of the other elements in fascism aren't there yet, or only flirted at (extra-judicial violence).

          5. So I'd say Trump is, as of now, a proto-fascist rather than a fascist proper. Perhaps a harbinger of another, more dangerous figure.

          @HeerJeet I appreciate the desire for exactitude. If it makes it easier, can we just call him a neo-fascist?

          @HeerJeet If the nicest thing that can be said about a major presidential frontrunner is "not 100% fascist yet", that is a problem.

          @HeerJeet @HeatherMallick I would think all the "vigilante" type killing done by the police might qualify?
