But what makes a proto-fascist?
>>1456400
>authoritarian and violent
>conspiracy theories about bankers
>scapegoats a minority populace and practices genocide
>>1456429
Jackson was right about the bankers though
>>1456433
Then he made the economy decline for some time.
>>1456429
>>scapegoats a minority populace and practices genocide
>implying blaming the indians for things they actually did is "scapegoating"
>implying chief fuck my face drinking too much fire water and falling off his horse and dying during his march is "genocide"
stop watching John Green videos
>>1456388
He did view himself as a "father figure" to the nation and expanded presidential power far beyond any of his predecessors so I think it would be fair to call him a proto-fascist. The real question is whether that is a bad thing.
>>1456425
Holding fascist qualities as a leader/government before Benito Mussolini coined the term and solidified the ideology.
>>1456388
No.
He was one of the founding fathers of American style populist Authoritarianism though.

>OH NO WE CANT FREE OURSELVES FROM THESE UNELECTED OLIGARCHS IT MIGHT *GASP* MAKE ME LOSE MONEY
Gee sounds like something else happening at the moment
The only good thing he did was expand the vote. It shouldn't be underestimated how important that is. But that's all the good he left.
>Jackson committed genocide
When will meme this stop.
>>1458266
>move people
>they die because they can't find food
Why the fuck is this considered a genicide? It's just a resettlement

Mehmet , pls go
>>1456388
Didn't you already make this thread?[
>>1456388
no...not even close, he was a populist and democrat. he was the total opposite of a fascist.

The National Socialists attempted to help the Jews emigrate to Palestine, they actually got about 60,000 Jews into Palestinians with their belongings before the war broke out.
That is way more than what Jackson ever did for the Native Americans.
>>1458272
It's ethnic cleansing
>>1458214
>I'm suspicious of this non-partisan quasi-governmental entity whose purpose is to provide liquidity & stability in the banking sector of the economy
>I'd much rather be able to stash US treasuries in "pet banks" arbitrarily based on their partisan affiliations
Much like the spoils system the battle over the bank was a fight by Jackson over increasing partisan control of the country.

Big fucking whoop. You're the cancer killing the human race, Homo Economicus.
>>1458373
So is immigration, who cares

Yep, Nazis tried to push Israel on us.
Thanks, Hitler, thanks for turning the Middle East into a radicalist-producing nightmare

Agreed, he was a populist and while he did engage in some demagoguery, he was far removed from anything resembling a fascist.
>>1458290
>democrat
Oh is that why he tyrannically refused to respect the ruling of the Supreme Court and kicked the Cherokee out of their land like a king?
>>1458272
>they die because they can't find food
What kind of shitty Indians were they?
>>1458872
>Cherokee do the most to start living in sedentary agricultural settlements like whites wanted
>Hurr why didn't they hunt in shit like muh westerns
I can't wait until the white race is completely absorbed genetically.
>>1456439
spotted the kike

That part about the Supreme Court is a popular myth. The ruling in Worcester v. Georgia placed no obligations on Jackson or the federal government, only on the State of Georgia, which complied eventually after resisting for a few months. Jackson never even said that famous quote about Justice Marshall, "Now let him enforce it!"
>>1456388
He had some very strong populist tendencies, but at the same time he also had classical liberal tendencies. He's in some ways less fascist than many of the American populists that followed him, and the label is not far to them either.
>>1458382
What good did abolishing the bank do then that outweighed the negative aspects?
