Fascists?
Again, Gene on Harry's Place discussing whether Hezbollah are fascist.
To my mind, fascism means the belief in some sort of "master race" and the commitment to go to any lengths - such as the Nazi Party conquering half of Europe - to promote that "master race".
I don't know if Hezbollah are fascist, but what I did find amusing was someone in the New Statesman saying that Hezbollah are committed to a secular state in Lebonan. Especially when in its founding statement, Hezbollah declares:
Only an Islamic regime can stop any further tentative attempts of imperialistic infiltration into our country.
I don't know who's more mad, them or me....
