regarding number 1 . --------------- I like nationalism as far as I understand it . Pride in country , secure borders , strongest military in the world . Lapel pins , bunting and flags do nothing for me . Things that are foreign , I don't like them in the USA and I mostly mean the flood of imported immigrants that the USA has experienced since the 70s when the USA population was 'about' 200 million in the 1970 census to what it is now [2010] when it was 310 million not counting illegal aliens . Nowadays there are probably 330 million not counting illegal aliens . Foreign and foreigners outside the USA are fine Library Lady !!

number 2 , disdain for human rights , all that means is what some elite group of internationalists , probably the 'un' says what human rights are . That aside , human rights in the USA are fine and dandy aren't they ??

None of those are the defining characteristic.

What makes Fascism, besides a dictator..is the government owns or controls all businesses.

I'm not defining the realities of government.

I'm relating fascism to the ideology of liberalism..regardless of who controls what.

Bureaucrats run most of the government, and they tend to be Progressives/liberals.

Yeah, but....they "operate" it. They don't "run" it by design. Not unless the leadership is weak or ineffective.

They've been "running" it for the last eight years. That's why they hate Trump.

There's a big one missing from the list. Fiat money. Once a govt. can create money out of thin air, it's going to spend the country into oblivion. And it has. It just hasn't collapsed yet. But, it will. Only question is when. Stockman says it's already overdue. Others think it's about 1928 and speculators will make a fortune in the next several years. I don't know which is right.
