Who is the closest to fascism in the world at the moment out of china or the USA.
China is a totalitarian state capitalist Autocracy (Or Rapidly improving and modernising the Chinese country according to them}
the USA is an Authoritarian Capitalist Corporate state (Or a freedom loving democracy according to them}
I would say These two countries are on a race towards fascism, Trying to see who could get there first. China is closest at the moment, With their new 1984 in real life™ system of governing, But i would like to see how the USA tries to become even more fascist in the future.

It matches a lot of those characteristics. It is militarist and Definitely nationalist (You can call it "Patriotism" all you want, same thing}. It is also Authoritarian, With all that government surveillance and gerrymandering. One thing it lacks is focus on unity.

Neither of those countries is fascist... well USA sorta, but is currently more a Chauvinist battleground between two chauvinist factions.

I doubt you know how much worse a fascist state is compared to the US. |

The US is extremely nationalist, Although lacks (In most cases} the ethnic element. America indoctrinates nearly the entire population with nationalistic jingoism and even most people who dislike the American government still claim to be "patriotic"
The USA is also authoritarian (But no where near to the scale of Fascist states}. The red scare was a massive political purge of left wing dissidents, Socialists were suppressed, Arrested and kicked out of the country until very recently. The USA is also a two party state, and the democrats and republicans are actually extremely similar.
The USA is also a one party state in my opinion, with this one party being in two factions. To prove this, I will compare it to Australia, a standard two party Liberal democracy with a social democrat and a conservative party, like most "democracies" at the moment.
The Australian conservative party, The liberal national party (Liberal in this case means Economic liberalism, Capitalism} Has 3 different factions inside of it, One which has the political views of the democrats, another which has the political views of moderate republicans and another which has the political views of trump style republicans.
None of these factions are outliers, and the LNP is not a unique party that covers a wide variety of political positions.
This is what i meant by that rant: The democrats and republicans views are so similar that their political spectrum fits in a single political party, Excluding a few left wing outliers, Who are marginalized on every occasion.
The electoral college is ridiculously rigged. A voter in Texas has three times more power than a voter in California.
Also government surveillance of phone calls, the internet, Peoples webcams (Which is why i put sticky tape over all cameras in my house} and so on.
