Reply to comment by [deleted] in I'm a native to Massachusetts and I love the state, but I really wish many of my fellow Massholes stop degrading people from certain states we may not like. by BoringAccountName78
What’s fascism again? The merger of corporation and state? How is Massachusetts any less fascist than Texas or Florida?

Per Wikipedia:
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultra-nationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3]
I'm going to ask you to rank the following states in terms of how far to the right you think they are:
- Florida
- Texas
- Massachusetts

Well now that wikipedia has changed the definition of fascism I’m not sure.

What about the Oxford English Dictionary?
Or will you just shop around until you find one that suits your political preferences?

I don’t know I think calling any state in the US “far right” relative to another is extreme.
