If that is your definition? Okay, it doesn't correspond with the socially accepted description of the phenomenon, but if you live by it.

Still interesting to know you consider facism as coming from your left.

Everything should be revalued because of Brexit and the impact of future uncertainty given the lack of direction. But I doubt it has been. The financial instruments should be relatively true to form but at the end of the day it's all a point in time.

What with the world economic uncertainties it's all a moving feast and yes we do have a trade deficit! If you look at the data our exported financial services have been shrinking.

Cambridge dictionary definition of fascism : "a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control of social and economic life, and extreme pride in country and race, with no expression of political disagreement allowed"

Would you also accept the wikipedia description? Less concise, more prozaic.

Fascism*(/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of*far-right,*authoritarian*ultranationalism[1][2]*characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3]*which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4]*Opposed to*liberalism,*Marxism, and*anarchism, fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional*left–right spectrum.[4][5][6]

Of course bread still thinks facism comes from his left. But I'm willing to accept his view.

The Chambers dictionary definition : "the principles and practice of those who believe in a a strong centralised government similar to that in Italy from 1922-1944, with suppression of all criticism or opposition. " NB. This definition was published in 1975 so not influenced by Brexit and/or political correctness!

I too thought it was right wing, but left or right doesn't seem to come into it.

I think your revised opinion of fascism is correct Annie, so Bread is
also correct, if you consider Stalin, he fits the fascist description
entirely imo??

I think it's an overused term.. Always reminds me of the young ones (80s comedy not cheesy cliff film)
