The GOP wants the control and power that Russia had but, rather than the means of production being owned by the state, they want to keep it owned by the rich and powerful (aka oligarchs). So they want fascism but with all the totalitarianism that Russia had.
So basically they are the new version of the Reds that you remember.
Isn’t red associated with communism in the USA? It just gets more confusing.
Red is the color of the Republican/Conservative party in the US
Yeah, but since 2000, it’s been the republican color. We were pretty over the whole communism thing at that moment in time.
Valid. It still confuses me regularly though, because I remember “the reds” to be the enemy of the USA.
Having said that, it’s probably true either way.

Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Granted I may not have a nuanced understanding of the economic system used by the Nazi party at that time.
The Nazis were definitely fascist .
