So far as I know there isn't any outstanding warrant for him and he's not sequestered in an embassy --so I'm a bit surprised by this since I didn't see the same reaction. You see when someone in the community is accused it's easy to defend them, and it's also easy to accuse someone when we dislike them.


The word 'fascist' is not the same as 'Hitler'. They're not the same thing. Fascism is an ideology that mixes corporatism with authoritarianism. From wikipedia:

"Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete, and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.[7] Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.[7] Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature, and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.[8][9][10][11] Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.[12]"

Being a fascist doesn't mean there will automatically be warrant out for you, or that you have committed some sort of genocide.
