        In my country our main communist party holds one of the most conservative views in our political spectrum. So progressive fascism wouldn’t surprise me.

          Well, I’ll give you an example of what I mean.

          In America, the second amendment right to bear arms is championed and deified even by conservatives.

          The idea itself, that the public at large should have the right to have guns, is a very, very liberal idea, just by definition, objectively.

          It’s certainly possible for a fascist regime to embrace some aspects of progressive ideology, if it is truly fascist, it is by definition neither liberal nor progressive. They are antithetical.

          There can be no such thing as a progressive dictator. Just the idea that one person could control the government, is inherently not progressive, not liberal.

            Equating liberal and progressive like they’re synonyms is pretty funny. You’re right that a fascist govt could have a few progressive ideas, “Something something Hitler liked dogs something something”, but liberalism is not one for 9ne progressivism. This is why someone like Joe “Fuck Poor People” Manchin is considered liberal despite blocking progressives at every turn.
