Yes, amusing that she edited her post after my comments, eh.
Since you seem not to understand how dictionaries work, either of you, let me explain.
Proper usage occurs when the word is used in conformance with any definition.
Hence when you any Lucy are described as fascists [ intolerant, authoritarian] not to mention rude and impolite it is, indeed perfectly in accordance with standard definitions -as established by three dictionaries, to date.
So if you have a quarrel with being described as a fascist either change your conduct, or take it up with the oed. And Miriam. And dictionary.com and random and......
Ahem, Fascist wasnt the term from the dictionary I used, fascism was....but you moved the goalposts and just used fascist.
No actually thats just another lie. Lets quote, shall we young fascist?
quote:
Lets highlight the important bits, shall we?
1.1(In general use) extreme right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant views or practice.
Notice the words 'OR". It means that facism can mean merely intolerant and authoritarian. Well, like you, for example.
Further notice the example quoted. In fact the very FIRST example noted:
quote:
(ex)this is yet another example of health fascism in action
Pretty much the poster child for left wingers now isn't it. Regardless, it perfectly supports the usage of fascism merely as authoritarian, and intolerant.
Of course, Lucy left out the bits that didn't fit her preconceived notions. Ie., notice that she left out
"Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one national or ethnic group, a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach." Gee, no mention of right wing.
In ancient Rome the fasces were the bundle of rods, with an axe through them, carried in front of a magistrate as a symbol of his power to punish people. Gee, no mention of right wing there. In fact the entire essence of it - seems to be the ability to punish people.
While we're at it lets go to the OED for another definition:
OED: Fascist: "A person who is very intolerant or domineering "
You liberals knew that RM and myself used the word correctly; you knew the dictionary definition was correct. You lied in the application of the definition of definition from the OED, as nearly as I can tell merely to smear other people.
Pretty much doing what liberals always do. If you don't want to be compared to other fascist organizations - stop acting like them.
So no, I didn't just use fascist now did I.
