The Covid-19 restrictions that have been imposed on the people by governments around the world are fascistic in various ways. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines fascism as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” Various parts of this definition should jump out to you in relation to the Covid-19 restrictions. 

Firstly, and most notably in the context of Covid, the section which explains how fascists use the power of government to exert severe economic and social control over society. Needless to say, severe regimentation or control of the economic and social sphere is exactly what governments have done in many so-called democracies over the pandemic. On the economic side, governments across the globe have forced private businesses to close, or partly close, for weeks or months at the time. On the social side, governments have severely restricted the ability of citizens to freely operate in the social sphere, limiting the ability of people to visit other households for instance.

Secondly, fascism is partly defined as a regime where the nation is placed above the individual, or to put this another way, the collective is placed above the individual. During the Covid-19 pandemic, how many times have you heard that you need to lose your rights as an individual for the sake of the greater good?  Governments across the world have spent the entirety of Covid crisis, or manufactured crisis as some would say, emphasising the collective over the individual. The problem is that collective rights do not exist. The only rights that exist are individual rights. In the name of public health, governments have dropped an atomic bomb on the rights of individual citizens, as individuals have been prohibited from engaging in basic economic and social activities.

Regardless of the justification any fascist-style government uses to take your individual rights in the name of the public good, if no one in society has individual rights, everyone in society is a slave to the state.
