Today on making the argument, we're going to do what I think is probably one of the most important things that we can do, given recent speeches and comments by the president of the United States, essentially accusing half the country of being semi-fascist.

If you're going to throw out an accusation like that, you know what we think's important?

Let's actually define our terms.

What is fascism?

What makes one a fascist?

What are the characteristics of fascism?

And perhaps most importantly, is fascism more of a right-wing ideology or a left-wing ideology?

Stick with us, and we will answer all of those questions on this episode of making the argument.

If you finish listening to this episode, equip to respond to an individual when they call you a fascist. I hope you'll let us know in the comment section on

YouTube. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and join us in the volley chat at the link in the

description at the end of this episode. Also, if you enjoy this episode, I hope you'll go back and

listen or watch the episode we put out in March of 2021 called Four Reasons Why Fascism is Left Wing.

All right. As always, I'm your host, Nick Freitas, member of the Virginia House of Delegates,

but other than that, an okay guy. And back with us, my beautiful bride, Tina, Queen of the Bees.

Thank you. And I'm pretty sure that my bees are, in fact, fascists.

So they're definitely talented.

Actually, that might not be

as far removed as it sounds.

No,

they fit pretty well.

Very collectivist society.

Yeah, yeah.
