to be fair, the soviets, especially after Stalin took over, were indistinguishable from fascists.

1. The cult of tradition. soviet iconography literally everywhere
2. The rejection of modernism. modernism is after all the spawn of the western capitalist.
3. The cult of action for action’s sake.
4. Disagreement is treason. off to the gulags with the dissident.
5. Fear of difference. other than them having created some of the most racist groups in Europe…
6. Appeal to social frustration.
7. The obsession with a plot. fucking anti-revolutionary on every corner!
8. The enemy is both strong and weak. just look at the propaganda.
9. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. second verse, same as the first.
10. Contempt for the weak. the modern soviet man.
11. Everybody is educated to become a hero. and sacrifice yourself for the revolution
12. Machismo and weaponry. have you seen the soviet leaders? or their weaponry on display everywhere?
13. Selective populism. literally deporting ethnic groups because they might create a contrary populist opinion.
14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.
