So has he ever expressed anti-democratic ideas? Such as wanting a dictatorial leader, autocracy etc that kind of is a key component of fascism.

Fascists tend to downplay that part of their ideology until they're in power. Even the Nazis did this to some extent.

I am not sure how I was being a bad actor, I asked the same question three times and was not getting an answer.

> how does that translate to wanting a dictatorial leader, autocracy, forcible suppression etc like Russia?

> > * wants a centralised autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader - check. > Where did this come from? I don't think that article said anything about this.

You responded to this with a wikipedia article, which said he denounced fascism/neo-nazis & banned people from events.

> So has he ever expressed anti-democratic ideas? Such as wanting a dictatorial leader, autocracy etc that kind of is a key component of fascism.

I don't see how my follow up question was unreasonable given the wikipedia or ADL article you linked never said he expressed anti-democratic ideas.

However, projectazorian has convinced me that while they may not have expressed fascist views directly, with their deep connections to neo-nazis/fascists they could be hiding it to be electable.

Alright, I wasn't planning on posting any more, but let me editorialize, and simplify:

How is DHH fascist?

- here he is espousing ethno-nationalist viewpoints (one key fascist ideology).

How is that fascist?

- ok, here he is supporting a fascist. See this article specifying that he was a member of a fascist organisation for 5 years, and then started a more extreme offshoot of it.

How is tommy robinson fascist?

- Here are some reasons.

How is the EDL fascist?

- here is an article discussing fascism and the EDL

Has he expressed a specific viewpoint?

- point out sealioning.
