Sorry you’re wrong about Hitler and the Nazis they were not Fascists. The party’s full name was The National Socialist Party. They were socialists, their philosophy was totally different to Mussolini, Franco and other real fascists. Also fascism doesn’t include racism or anti semitism in its philosophy. Read The Ruling Class by Mosca this is the basis of fascist philosophy, then read Mein Kamph Hitler’s beliefs and philosophy laid bare, there is little comparison.
@1:53 I think a good point was made about media control and the end goal of that control. There is a difference when there is an attempt to control the media information for the sake of public safety vs promoting obedience/devotion to the state, a person, or single power.
After I wrote that, my mind could hear my family saying that, during the high global COVID outbreak, "obedience/devotion" is exactly what the US administration was requiring. Then the conversation spirals downward in trying to explain the difference between public safety and "promoting obedience/devotion" meaning pledging allegiance and loyalty to a certain person/power.
I think most people would agree that when a politician is speaking to the media, (especially on high level or national/global information), whether behind closed doors or in front of mic, the media outlets are not getting the full details and that they (the media) are being told the information that basically controls the narrative. I know movies are not the best examples, but when an asteroid is heading to earth, the the government's response is to not let the public know that life on earth is under threat. This is to keep a sense of order and safety to the people. The media control is not about "obedience" and "devotion".
The government controlling the media stories about itself, it's actions, and the "enemies" of the government and their actions is a different level, and even punishing media outlets and people themselves for speaking out against the current power… that certainly is "promoting obedience and devotion". I don't think there is "control" of the US media right now, but there certainly are threats and "demonization" and even action taken against media outlets that speak out against the current US administration.
He just described socialism.

There is no difference between national socialism and democratic socialism.
Hmmmmmmmm; Who does this remind you of?
"Watch before Removed" just might apply to this video.
An outdated definition….. today it means 'A person who doesn't 100% support without question my radical far left agenda'
MAGA in a nutshell
Sounds like modern day liberalism and their cronies in academia and media to a T.
You can tell who racists and the fascists are in the comments section so easily, they do nothing but protest that their actions are innocent and warranted whilst trying to blame the decent people of the world for everything that is wrong? Pathetic little bigots
Donald Trump's idiot nation trying to figure out how they are not fascist
My definition
One word; Democratic.
