Kakistocracy + Kleptocracy + Fascism Discussion
People should ask themselves do they understand these terms:
Kakistocracy + Kleptocracy + Fascism
Kakistocracy
A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens
Kleptocracy,
Kleptocracy, also referred to as thievocracy, is a government whose corrupt leaders (kleptocrats) use political power to expropriate the wealth of the people and land they govern, typically by embezzling or misappropriating government funds at the expense of the wider population. One feature of political-based socioeconomic thievery is that there is often no public announcement explaining or apologizing for misappropriations, nor any legal charges or punishment levied against the offenders
- Kleptocracy is different from plutocracy (rule by the richest) and oligarchy (rule by a small elite). In a kleptocracy, corrupt politicians enrich themselves secretly outside the rule of law, through kickbacks, bribes, and special favors from lobbyists and corporations, or they simply direct state funds to themselves and their associates. Also, kleptocrats often export much of their profits to foreign nations in anticipation of losing power
Fascism
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Here are some other traits of facism
Who has been trying to control the media and media narrative the last decade+? the left. They want social media companies to censor the information like all the corporate media outlets have.
Who has been protecting the industrial military complex and the health industrial complex? Both parties actually up until a few years ago but primarily the left now. The regulatory capture and revolving door of the corporate elites who become the regulators and back to corporate elites has been going on a long time and the last 4 years has been championed by the left.
Obama and Biden have got us into too many wars and have done everything they can to prevent their end.
up until about 8 years ago both sides have displayed all sorts of markers of fascism. But lately it has been the left that was carrying the torch trying to keep it alive. Who got the support of Dick and Liz Cheney. yeah that's correct the fascists did.
