I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

    When a South Asian calls the British monarchy fascist or Churchill a genocider in my experience.

        I actually always wondered a bit about the line between fascism and monarchism. To the casual observer they might seem nearly identical, though I wonder if in historical materialist terms it’s a reactionary attempt to backslide to feudalism rather than progress capitalism to socialism.

          Fascism doesn’t necessarily have the hereditary property of monarchism. Power can easily get transferred to other families, not related by blood.
