Oh, I must be a fascist because I think that going all the way back means going to a time before organized society and a structured code of law? Is that really where your mind jumps to when someone disagrees with you? Oh, this person must be a fucking fascist because they think differently than I!

Ad-hominems aside. How far back is “far back” enough for you that we could build a more just and equitable system? We talking Bill of Rights? Magna Carta? 10 commandments?

organized society and a structured code of law?

Where is the evidence that led you to conflate these two?

Oh, this person must be a fucking fascist because they think differently than I!

What else am I supposed to do when people regurgite fascist narratives? Assume the person doing the regurgitating is not beholden to fascist views?

I assume this is the first time you’ve been exposed to the fact that “Law & Order” narratives have always been the narrative espoused by the fascist element inherent to the liberal nation state long before Mussolini even gave fascism a name?

I have yet to see a fascist argue that every justice system has inherent inequality, and that the only way to fix it is to have a dynamic and living system than can respond to the changes in society around it. I don’t think that is a fascist view. Fascist by definition put all authority in an immutable entity that rules with an iron fist with the sole purpose of benefiting one particular group of people.

You might consider reading up on it a bit before you go start spreading it over everything that doesn’t agree with your somehow very narrow yet ephemeral definition of a just society. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

Regardless, any talk at this point is unproductive unless you are willing to specify what in your mind, was the most recent equitable justice system in human history. You won’t though, because you haven’t thought about it that much, which is why you were offended by my caveman assertion.

inherent inequality,

As dictated by whom? You?

I don’t think that is a fascist view.

You think that endorsing the violence through which the many is subjugated for the safety and security of the few is not fascist?

Fascist by definition

Fascism doesn’t have a definition, liberal. It isn’t - and has never been - a consistent ideology that enables definition.

Am I to assume that your understanding of fascism is as flawed, naive and downright cartoonish as the one your fellow liberals on here ceaselessly demonstrate? Aaaaand…

You might consider reading up on… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

…I’ll take that as a yes.

Regardless, any talk at this point is unproductive

What is the point of talking alternatives with those who has a vested interest in maintaining the violence of the status quo?

which is why you were offended by my caveman assertion.

Is that what offended me? It had nothing to do with your appeal to right-wing ahistoricity?
