#theres no 'hitlernarian' or mussolini-ish' or even 'francolike' when referring to specific ones

[thedevilsrain]

thinkin abt how when most liberals, esp americans, think of the word 'dictatorship' or 'authoritarian regime' their mind immediately goes to stalin. not to hitler or mussolini (or any of the other fascists in europe, funny enough); and not to any of the fascist dictatorships in latin america that the US backed up

i legit wonder abt this, i assume it never goes to the first two on the basis of it being 'too low' (even if most people think hitler, stalin and mussolini are all the same thing), and as for dictatorships in latin america, i assume they just think, are taught, or simply assume, whatever, that its more common for ""third world countries"" to naturally have murderous dictatorships, but not a ""first world country"" - or more importantly, a country of the north, so close to europe - to have one. so yea
