“The term ‘fascism,’ as George Orwell once cautioned, has often been diluted, losing its precise meaning and becoming a generic slur. This has led to its misapplication, where its core ideology is overlooked in favour of its more superficial traits, such as authoritarianism and militarism. While these are certainly present in fascist regimes, they are not the sole defining characteristics. However, there are political groups that are accurately identified as fascist. The Myanmar military dictatorships, including the current junta, stand as a particularly fitting and accurate example of a fascist regime.” (10/17/25)
