Marv: "Charlie may consider Xi's China a fascist state. I don't..." The problem here is not China. It is Marv's definition of fascism by three essential features. If China meets them - and you say it does - but it is not fascist, then what counts are not the three "essential" features but one's

Another test for Marv's throwback, formalistic criteria: "...  a one party state which will outlaw ... mass organizations and eliminate freedom of assembly and the right to vote - essential features of fascism..." Does the PRC meet these three "essential features"?  Does Marv use the fascist lab
