Now these hyperbolic politicians could ALMOST be forgiven for not really knowing what they are talking about… because NOBODY really knows what they are talking about… George Orwell once wrote that "'Fascism'’ has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies something not desirable." Ian Kershaw who has dedicated his life to being one of the world's preeminent researchers on the social history of Germany in the 20th Century and even HE said that “defining Fascism is like trying to staple jelly to the wall”. A hard and fast definition never existed in the first place, and even if it did, it has changed over time from an idealistic but ultimately flawed movement coming out of a continent going through some radical change, into what it is today which is just “A bad thing that we really shouldn’t do again”. For most people that may be all they NEED to know, but it does raise some uncomfortable questions Sources - Kershaw (2016).
