social fascism 

A word for social democracy. Often used by critics. Dates back to the early 1930s as part of the claim that social democracy harmed the people even more than the extreme right.

Frequently paired with the idea that social democracy keeps the people down with a cushion rather than the jackboot of the right.
"The greatest threat to organised labour is not in the right, whose policies only encourage organised labour as resistance to their anti-worker policies but from social fascism who attempts to placate the people with bread and circuses."

Semi-fascism 

A derogatory term to label the world views of individuals or political groups. "Semi" indicates that the views are partly or almost fascist. Logically, one is either a fascist, or not a fascist. President Biden used this term to describe Republicans on the 25th August 2022 at Rockville, Maryland. This is symptomatic of the existing culture war in which both conservatives and liberals accuse each other of totalitarian world views. The elements of Semi-fascism may include:
1. Obsession with race and racial privileges;
2. Ideological unity between the mass media and political parties;
3. Ideological unity between academic institutions and political parties;
4. Intense grassroots will to power and a fixation to crush dissent;
5. A totalitarian society that persecutes thought crimes and non-crime hate events zealously.
BIDEN: It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy that underpins the (movement), like semi-fascism.

CONSERVATIVE: You mean just like the way Democrats have moved away from a meritocracy to race-based selection, have gained the unquestioning support of the media and universities, supported by activists of all counterculture groups and actively cancel and persecute those who disagree with them. This sounds more like authentic fascism to me!

emo fascism

Alt-right approach that co-opts pop culture characters such as Pepe the frog and Japanese anime for political messaging purposes.
The alt-right's use of japanese waifus and Pokemon Go to inculcate their young followers with Nazi ideology is an example of emo fascism.

far-left fascism 

An ideology of the far-left that is characterized by leftist nationalism, state totalitarianism, ethnic or political supremacism, autarky, and expansionism.
The ideology of far-left fascism is usually dismissed by the leftists themselves.

synthetic fascism 

A constructivistically hyperreal paradigm of fascism which eschews Nietzsche's will-to-sense paradigm in favor Schopenhauer's power-to-desire paradigm.

Synthetic fascism substitutes Friedrich Nietzsche's model of nihilism for Kashif Vikaas's model of aesthetic or "meta"-nihilism.

In synthetic fascism will is postulated as having "synthetic" or "false" origins.

The paradigm of 'synthetic' will is also marketed as 'vapor sharia.'
Synthetic fascism replaces Nietzsche's paradigm of will with a contrapositive paradigm: power-to-desire.

islamo-fascism 

noun. A term used by right-wing pundits to replace responsible debate with fear and division.

Among the hypocritical things about islamofascism is that pundits that use this word cry about the plight of women in Islamic countries yet ignore the plight of women in America

David Horowitz: “What about the debt
blacks owe to America—to white America—
for liberating them from slavery? This may
not seem like a serious question to some, but
that only reveals their ignorance of the history
of slavery and its fate.” “Guns don’t kill black
people, other blacks do.”

Rick Santorum: “And if the Supreme Court
says that you have the right to consensual gay
sex within your home, then you have the right
to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you
have the right to incest, you have the right to
adultery. You have the right to anything. Does
that undermine the fabric of our society? I
would argue yes, it does..”

Michael Ledeen: “One can only hope that
we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster,
please. If ever there were a region that richly
deserved being cauldronized, it is the Middle
East today. If we wage the war effectively,
we will bring down the terror regimes in Iraq,
Iran, and Syria… That’s our mission in the war
against terror.”

Ann Coulter: “We should invade their countries,
kill their leaders and convert them to
Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating
and punishing only Hitler and his top
officers. We carpet- bombed German cities; we
killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war.”
islamo-fascism is a rather hypocritical word especially after taken into account what the people who use the word behave.

reverse fascism 

The opposite of a Fascist youth group from the mid 20th century. Both being seduced & indoctrinated at young ages by a "more just, stronger, unified, and utopian community". Brought about by silver tongued orators against perceived contemporary ills.
Brad: Have you seen the reverse fascism in most of national media outlets in the US today?
Brendan: Yeah I think they're confusing us with bigots or Trump supporters. Isn't it just mostly State's right to choose? Shouldn't we all try to talk in a civilized manor together before we split like Putin wants?
