Being a major reason why Nazi Germany was defeated and then defend the world against communism did legitimately give them that title. But yeah, that's becoming history now.

But those people would theoretically be able to get IDs? Or are we talking about illegal immigrants?

I think the main complaint against it is Trump is doing it.

That's not a very good reason, is it?

As european, I find it extremely baffling that you don't have to prove your citizenship to vote in USA. Is there some detail here I'm missing? Is it about how difficult it is to implement this in practice?

Well I'd claim that nazis were a problem during 1945-(whenever they came back as a credible threat), even if they weren't a credible threat for many decades. Same applies to tankies or really every other kind of ... let's say hidden infestation. It's like mold in a house.

But it's of course important to focus on the worst problem at the time. You don't care about mold if your house is on fire.

I'm a pen/pencil freak who's spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I'd choose 2.

It sure is progressive though. That's such a weird word to use as a pejorative. I mean I can get the theory behind being against a big nanny state, but why call it an unambigously positive term then?

The 4th point yes indeed. Hence the horseshoe theory. Fascists love tradition though and have not usually gone to seizing the means of production in a general way at least.

Seize the means of production.

Fuck tradition.

Fuck economics.

Kill the people who resist or disagree, or sometimes also if you just feel like killing them. For the rest, strip away basic rights so that they won't rise up to dismantle the system.

As someone pointed out, perhaps things are a bit different in America, but this is how I see far left generally from Europe.

Terrorism does aim for injury though.
