This is my second run at I Might Be a Fascist. I initially started it as it says i the description because I am a Catholic, a Reactionary and a Monarchist. As I write this, the 2024 elections are less than 2 weeks away. And for those who claim Trump is a threat to Democracy, I say good riddance to it! Democracy only works if every voter is wise and virtuous. And all we have to do is look around to see we are to paraphrase Starset abused by Dunning and Kreuger.
As a Catholic and as an informed human being, I prefer a faithful Catholic monarchy to any pretense at self-governance. Faithful and Catholic being the operative words. Until then, I am as Charles Coulomb put it, "happy to have my snout counted" as long as they are counting snouts.
In my own study of history, I found the "fascist" regimes of Francoist Spain and the Salazar regime of 1930s Portugal to be preferable to the Leftist notions of "freedom" that abound today. But, I am no expert. What I liked was that in each case, as was in many of the other so-called "fascist" regimes were the stated aims to reinstate monarchies where republican governments had driven them out, their manly resistance to communism and their adherence to their Catholic faith.
Yet, I find like everything else I have divergences with some of those so-called "fascists".
Am I a fascist? Well, if that's what they call someone who stands for strong borders, a strong working class, a strong economy and strong faith-centered families, then okay.
