      Ticks a lot of the fascist boxes for me, mandatory nationalism and historical revisionism in school, the whole All-Russia “Young Army” National Military Patriotic Social Movement Association, massive internal security rosgvardia, claiming other countries belong to them reminds me of Lebensraum etc.

            Russia is definitely less fascist than the US. Even just the way the US has and continues to treat indigenous and black people makes the US pretty damn fascist.

            I don’t necessarily think it is less fascist. I just don’t think its more fascist than the US

            The thing is i wouldn’t necessarily use that as the most descriptive term in either case. When applied to the Russian Federation, its really just something libs say because they’re the designated enemy
