That doesn't make him a fascist.

no, it doesn't, and I didn't use that word (Alex did). I think anti-humanitarian is an accurate label and 0HP agreed with that assessment. anti-humanitarianism is also an extremely bad idea and every fascist dictator in history has also been an anti-humanitarian.

Presumably the dissolution of the Kulaks was also fascist?

if fascism means authoritarian collectivism, then yes, the dissolution of the Kulaks was fascist

historically we've called the left-wing version Communism and the right wing version Fascism but they are both manifestations of the same underlying bad idea: that an authoritarian power center can devalue the lives of individuals and treat them like cattle

What if the only thing keeping certain people alive is an authoritarian power center that sustains people who are incapable of sustaining themselves? Is it fascist to want it to stop?

Replying to @0x49fa98 @UnconsciousAby and
depends on the means, basically. if you want to use state power to make it stop then yes its fascist. there are more responsible ways to attempt to reduce the amount of welfare and aid programs in the world.

i'm not gonna to deny that there are perverse incentives and broken economies all over the world. my objection is to rhetoric that explicitly devalues human life. we can talk policy preferences all day long and disagree as reasonable people without devaluing life.

the game theoretic optimum position for the boundary between valued life and unvalued life is one that delineates the smallest possible group that includes oneself and can defeat a proportion of attempts by other groups to treat it as unvalued life defined by one's risk tolerance

probably the best reason for veganism would be a preemptive defensive rhetorical attempt to convince nonhuman lifeforms that an extremely inclusive decision plane here is beneficial. relies on nonhuman lifeforms being stupid but why should they be any different
