Reply to comment by hyrailer in Fun fact: 62% of U.S. states have an official language, but Washington doesn't by so-unobvious

Canada has two official languages.

Last I checked Canada wasn’t fascist.

Yes, 2. As in, not 1.

Hope this helps.

Is Denmark a fascist country? It only has one official language.

What about the Dominican Republic? Or Sweden?

I swear, none of you can read- what did my comment say, exactly?

"ONE of the basic tenets of fascism..." One. Along with Powerful and continuing nationalism. Disdain for human rights. Identification of enemies as a unifying cause. Military supremacy. Rampant seismic. Controlled mass media. Obsession with national security. Religion and government laced together. Corporate power protected. Labor power suppressed. Disdain for intellectuals and the arts. Obsession with crime and punishment. Rampant cronyism and corruption. Fraudulent elections.

Of the semi-socialist countries any of you have listed, do any of these descriptions apply to them?

Maybe a more appropriate question- name a country that is embracing all of these concepts.
