that was fast i just wanted to let you know that my proposed opening paragraph for the fascism article has already come under fire less than a day after i wrote it i'm surprised i expected it to last two days at least anyway you're an expert in the field so your contribution to the discussion is really needed i really think we should make efforts to prevent the definition degenerating into an incoherent mess or something so vague as to be tautological a definition amounting to fascism is an authoritarian ideology that is authoritarian like we had before thanks
