Pre ‘91 Webster’s Dictionary
Do you have any link? Or am I supposed to take your word for it that you just happened to have 33+ year old dictionary lying around as evidence? Hint: not with your posting history.

Besides, you wrote “now” in the post I replied to so let’s see what Webster says:


>>>1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2 tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <<<

So it seems you lied about your reference as well

Seriously, I have no life.
"While socialism and conservatism may sit adjacent to each side of the political spectrum..."
Uh, wut? How are they adjacent to each side, or did you mean on their respective sides, being opposite each other?

I'm asking as someone who lives near the last major US city with a Socialist Mayor and having heard Frank P Zeidler speak. The hangover is still strong here.

FWIW- the definition of Socialism is far from what most people believe but it's not dead, it just morphs, like the Dems and GOP.

So, a fascist is both an autocrat and a dictator. Putin comes to mind and maybe a few others?
Oh, and a few wanna bees here. Interesting.

Yeah...I don't think I phrased that clearly. I mean they reside on opposite sides of the centre of the political spectrum. Of course, in practice, it isn't easy to delineate the two, as in liberal democracies we generally see elements of socialism and conservatism in practice simultaneously.
