      1. michikokakutani's review of a new Hitler biography got me thinking again of the unresolved "Is Trump a fascist" question.

      2. The term fascism has always been fluid because fascist founders like Mussolini prided themselves on their own opportunism.

      3. Mussolini et. al. prided themselves on being adaptable as opposed to the supposedly more rigid ideologies of liberalism, socialism, etc

      4. This fluidity was also tied to underlying Social Darwinism of fascism: life is a battle, so you change tactics as needed.

      5. So perhaps the way to resolve the issue is to realize that fascism can be an adjective as well as a noun. Fascistic rather than fascist.

      6. The most important difference between Trumpism & classical fascism is the lack of grass-roots mobilization. There are no Trump Shirts.

      7. Largely for demographic reasons, Trumpism is a very passive movement compared to the revolutionary elan & mass mobilization of fascism.

          9. Sure there's mobilization on social media but your racist uncle flooding Facebook is not the SA.https://twitter.com/andygawt/status/781889998404644864 …

          Also, a lot of the mobilization happens by social media, and it mobilizes geographically separate people. https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/781889753222307840 …

          Not sure if that's the Q anymore. Is he fully sane, or merely paranoid and delusional.

          Nonsense, and irresponsible. Read George Mosse and Dagmar Herzog. May help cure your extraordinary ignorance.

          The better comparison of Trump is not Hilter, but small-time, narcissist fascist dictator Trujillo of the Dominican Republic
