As an anarchist myself I can say from experience that there's a lot of incompetence and anti-intellectualism encroaching so-called anarchist spaces, a good chunk of them are good-for-nothing liberals whose general education involves Reddit, most of them do not know nor understand their political adversaries, and just as most do not care to understand them either, I suppose I'm the exception, unfortunately.

> They have not all been killed yet. I'm actually very puzzled at how few have.

I didn't say they were killed, many weren't, they just died of age, and upcoming generations didn't grow to become the same breed of conservatives their parents were.

Fascism is a very specific and very identifiable social, political and cultural movement that showed up the past century, not a single western nation today, no matter how authoritarian, comes close to be the same as those first. Many stupid people will start rambling about political and bureaucratic organization of governments to try and find similarities between fascists governments from 20th century and the ones we have today, they totally miss the point and are giving the wrong approach to reach conclusions, fascism has nothing to do with government or economical structure, to fascists those are just a means to an end, not a basis of their thesis.
