Saying someone is a fascist because they don't support Antifa is a
false binary. That's like saying someone must be a racist because
they don't fly a BLM flag. You can reject an organization's tactics
or ideology without rejecting the underlying moral concern.
As for the '14 points of fascism,'' those aren't a diagnostic checklist.
They are a descriptive framework (often attributed to Laurence Britt)
that can be selectively applied to many governments across history, left
and right. Cherry-picking overlaps doesn't establish that a country or
leader is fascist in any rigorous sense.
If we are going to use serious political terms, they should clarify
reality, not just function as insults for people we disagree with.
