You accused him of being a fascist. You didn't say that he posted fascist ideas in a few tweets. There's a difference here. Why not directly ask him, "Hey man, some of these ideas appear fascist, could you elaborate?" You went for the scapegoating immediately behind his back.

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?
-
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.
