Now where I agree with you is that nowadays, the people who call themselves "progressives" are not progressive at all.
They are thought police that do not respect the democracy, detest people that do not agree with them and are ready to use violence to stop anyone in their way. And that I call fascism.
By the way, as you probably already know, nazis were socialists. Fascists were not.

You are mixing things up quite a bit.. Nazi's were a far right group. They were "social conservatives". Nazism was a take away from Fascism. Just because it says "social" next to conservative doesn't mean they were socialist.. lol
Fascism - an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization
Socialism - a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Do you see the difference? Nazis were fascist, literally the exact opposite of socialism. Commie's are socialist or at least "used" to be.. Nazi's were fascist..
