private email server scandal, Clinton foundation conflicts of interest, etc., all verifiable, if even uncomfortable, and side-stepped facts by the
Clinton political machine. To put a singular political figure in the same vein as Fascism completely misses the point that Fascism is first and foremost a 'corporatist/statist' aligned form of government. Corporate welfare, which is rampant in American economic policy, is a defining principle of Fascism. The SCOTUS Citizens United Ruling simply ensconced the corporatists/statist basis of Fascism into American further and deeper into politics. Has it been lost on the argument that Clinton is running her campaign, as far as the dollars total garnered, on the very corporatist campaign contributions that are part of the corporatist/statist agenda America is sliding deeper into with each succeeding incoming president, regardless of political affiliation? Trump or Clinton being Fascist in their own rights are at their core really Straw Man arguments in the final analysis, and inflammatory and hubris ones at that.

anyone else they can get their hands on to the crematoria, I DID not insert these opinions into the article. At no point did I add one whit of my personal opinion that Trump is likely already drawing up the blueprints for the crematoria now. I merely objectively reported a newsworthy phenomenon:Trump's massive popularity with hate groups, and his increase in their popularity, and the widespread news reports that his fellow candidates have called him
Fascism. My god, if this isn't what an encylopedia is for, then what is? I left my personal opinions entirely out of it, and just reported the facts, with exceedingly strong references. Have a look for yourself.
900:- This type of blatant BLP hit piece should be embarrassing to everyone who has ever contributed a sentence to it. Personally, I think Donald Trump is a piece of work who is completely lacking in temperament, ideology, education and meaningful experience for the office for which he is now a candidate, but attempting to tag him as a "fascist" -- on par with Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini -- is disgusting. There should be no room for this type of garbage in a serious encyclopedia; it's what gives a black eye to Knowledge and holds us up to the derision of the media and the public.
398:
these articles, seems to be a significant (and troubling) historical phenomena our readers may wish to know of. I could have also listed a number of other references where Trump's policy proposals have been criticized as fascist, but I left these out in order to not push a POV and just present the facts to our readers, who deserve them. I am not opposed to a rename if anyone has a good suggestion, and I am happy to have others make edits to the article if they see ways to improve it. Cheers.

revival of mainstream fascism in 2015, 70 years after we thought we had killed it, now back as an unashamed political platform in the persons of Trump and Le Pen in France, is an encylopedic and notable phenomenon. I provided lots of hard evidence here. Closing our eyes doesn't make it go away. Maybe a section connecting Trump to the unseemly revival of
Fascists globally, like Le Pen, would be in order. What do you say? I remind you of WP: NOTCENSORSHIP
770:"Comment" I've added even more references and moved the reports of Trump's Hitler book, which he is claimed by his ex-wife to keep in his bedside cabinet to its own section. I've also added the NYTimes story from September about Trump's father having been a Klansmen, along with Trump's denial to this collaboration. Let's work together, not against each other, and we can make this article great again, comrades. To the barricades (of knowledge)!

So blatantly POV and cherry-picked it's embarrassing, and casts a poor light on everyone who works on

DELETE – This wiki entry is rife with political hubris, innuendo and pot-calling-kettle-black. While it might be agreed that Trump is a personification of
Mussolini, there is a strong argument that Clinton is a subversive personification of Hitler due to her outright lying to the public on Bengazi,
