  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Talk about off topic, but sure, for you.

do you think the Franco, Peron, Pinochet and Papadopoulos regimes were "fascist"?

Franco, Pinochet where "fascist". They where not fully authoritarian, but they tried atleast. Fascism is just part of an ideology (goverment rule), not an entire one.

Peron was just a corrupt politician.

Salazar and Papadopoulos i have not heard of, perhaps if you give me some info i might (you know, remember), but i dont think so anyways, excuse my ignorance about certain political figures.

do you think National Socialist Germany was "fascist"?

Adolf Hitler was Democratically chosen. But the ruling was authoritarian, which makes if fascism by definition.

Nazi Germany was totalitarian, rather than authoritarian.

and authoritarian rule is necessary but not sufficient to term a country fascist.

to stay on topic... I think all fascist govts have defined marriage as one man and one woman.

Un-Related, as it means nothing, Like saying that because Capitalism favour the use of the weak in society, a capitalist could not be Buddhist. Just because most known Fascist Societies have been against Homosexuality, does not make it an absolute. Agreed?
