Let's play: fascist or not?

[More Than A Feeling]

Is the person who said this a fascist? Why or why not?

"When all the world is a nihilist mess, and its inhabitants merely Godless terrorists and the ilk, the time has come for the emergence of a new world order. An order steeped it dignity and integrity, in courage and honor. For it would be a great disservice to the Lord and his righteous creations to allow the corrupt and the sinister free run of the planet. May God bless and may the Lord keep safe the keepers of the flame of liberty, the final harbingers of what is right and good and true, and the emissaries of the Earth's last chance at true salvation from the tyranny of the forces of malice. Let us always remember that turning a blind eye toward evil and appeasing those who would do us ill does not a safe country make. Blessed be the great United States and blessed be its citizens."

2. Fascists don't play!

3. Well

It's hard to say. Since the speaker didn't DIRECTLY invoke the rule of law in establishing this "new world order," I wouldn't directly say that he/she is a "fascist," since I consider a fascist to actually be one who purports to use the rule of law to establish an idealized society, based on magical thinking, wherein corporations and the government control all of society, and egalitarianism is not present.

HOWEVER, it could be what I call a "stateless fascist," or somebody who is proposing totalitarian thought. And I don't care if this is one of those "surprise! It's a democrat" quotes -- Democrats can be narrow-minded totalitarians, as well.

4. No, its the former dictator of the College Republicans on my campus

I feel he can justifiably be called a fascist, and I was wondering what you all thought based on this quote.

5. I was thinking someone

that may have had a mental disorder (which in that case would be no).

6. Somebody who needs to check a dictionary, maybe?

Harbinger: 2a) one that pioneers in or initiates a major change: b : one that presages or foreshadows what is to come.

One that pioneer or initiates what is right and good and true? Hmm...
Maybe he meant "arbiter" -- that'd be more correct, yet even scarier.

He does sound like a Dominionist. Dunno about Fascist. Definitely a nutjob.

7. No. Not enough evidence to claim any given ideology.

We merely know that:
1. They are authoritarian.
2. They are moralistic.

It is quite possible to hold those points and not be fascist. Lenin, for example.

8. Not sure, but he's a sad fucking wanker,

don't you think?
