40k's government is brutal and cruel out of necessity. It's literally a setting where humanity is beset on all sides by enemies that want us extinct or worse and an unforgiving, iron-fisted totalitarian government is basically the only thing keeping the Imperium from imploding.

If Sanders is a communist he's the worst one I've ever seen. Not taking over the factories or eliminating all other parties? Fail.

And Trump as a fascist? Fucking Christ there IS a difference between fascism and nationalism. That it to say I support nationalism, or that nationalism doesn't play a large part in fascism, but there is a difference.

Can't say much against the Clinton accusations, there's been a lot of shady shit during the primary too, though I think the emails are overblown as hell.

Also pls mods nuke this thread

>>46170009
While that is an excellent point, the new guy is also pretty clearly fucking retarded.

>>46170441
You say that, but I'm betting he'll leave most of the governing to technocrats like Bush did. But Trump is smart enough to check the internet occasionally to see if they're about to bomb the wrong fucking country.

So I think he'll just be a slightly less retarded Bush, who is more outwardly racist.

>>46170684
Apart from there being no communists (Sanders is a social democrat, he embraced the name socialist because people kept calling him one), no fascists (For all the media likes to call him one, Trump doesn't believe in syndicalism, he's not advocating for mass mobilization of any sort, and he's not anti-conservative), and Hillary isn't technically criminal because what she did wasn't illegal, her friendly judges have said as much.
>>
>>46170829
>Trump is smart enough to check the internet occasionally to see if they're about to bomb the wrong fucking country.
Oh dear god I hope you're joking. He doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks about him and what he's doing. That's his entire appeal.
>>
>>46170796
The claim for Trump being a facist doesn't come from his nationalism, it comes from his populist anti-establishment nationalism wrapped in masculinity and bravado.
Which is the exact shit Mussolini pulled.

It sort of ends there.

>Can't say much against the Clinton accusations, there's been a lot of shady shit during the primary too, though I think the emails are overblown as hell.

The emails were sketchy as fuck, and the fact that it comes after nonsense like travelgate, Benghazi, and whatever else have you, and it just adds up to her just not being a very trustworthy person.
There's also the fact that her campaign had the leader of the DNC rigging shit for her, her winning 6 delegates by coin toss in a row, her supporters buying up media outlets that then start writing about how awesome she is (Oh Onion, how I will miss you), and so on.

She's super fucking sketchy.
>>
>>46170889
>Oh dear god I hope you're joking. He doesn't give a fuck what anybody thinks about him and what he's doing. That's his entire appeal.

I'm not.

Whatever you think of Trump he at least googles shit occasionally.

And Trump cares what you think about him, Trump cares a LOT. That's WHY he was out there defending his dick when Rubio started acting retarded.

>>46170829
Fascism by definition is a political system in which individual rights are entirely eclipsed by the authority of the state and it's leaders. A significant chunk of what Trump has suggested he will do directly contradicts the Constitution and American law. He's selling himself as a quintessential strongman who does what he feels is necessary regardless of what the law, congress, or people who said mean things about him think about it.

...We should probably stop this before we open a warp portal to /pol/ again, shouldn't we?

Portals are magic, and therefore /tg/ related.
We'll be fine, right?

While that definitely leans towards fascism, as was pointed out here >>46170909, those are also just characteristics of strongman politicians in general, and those can exist independently of fascism.
Indeed the traits you refer to were endemic of the reigns of Mubarak, Mannerheim, Crispi, and Ataturk, and none of those can really be called fascist without bending the definition just a bit too much.

While sure, for Ataturk and Mannerheim the selling of them was done by a cult of personality rather than by their own boisterous personality, the machismo was still there.
>>
>>46171240
Well I suppose you would need a coherent definition of fascism, wouldn't you? In theory it could be applied to any strongman head of state that is willing to go over the law to get shit done. The problem with it is that it simply refers to a political system that has been completely and totally disestablished as a viable means of government, today it's nothing more than a slur and a pejorative label.
>>
>>46171595
That is an excellent point, and one that means you must admit then makes the term useless as a criticism or designation of any merit.

>out of necessity

No it fucking isn't. The Imperium is killing itself with it's logistical incompetence and flat out corruption. Read literally ANYTHING about the Imperium. It's never a good idea to waste infantry as cannon fodder, but the Imperium does it anyway, not out of necessity, but because it's bureaucracy is so bloated and over extended that human life becomes virtually meaningless. Also, because High Lords just do not give a solitary fuck about anything other than themselves.

Not saying you're wrong, but your screencap is from 5e and is two editions out of date. The past two rulebooks have said while such conditions are common, there are bright spots in the imperium such as "the progressive electro-societies of Zaxxis".

>Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (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; a political system headed by a dictator in which the government controls business and labor and opposition is not permitted.

The key here being that it's a dictator who controls business, unions, the church and all other social organizations and binds them into a repressive unity (the fasces).

So Ataturk was a fascist, but Trump clearly is not.
