The left-wing case for downplaying authoritarianism is not convincing.
From this observation, Bessner reasons that the term has simply become a meaningless epithet. There are, however, two problems with this logic that he does not consider.
Second, World War II discredited the fascist label completely without thoroughly eradicating its underlying ideas. It is therefore possible for fascist, or semi-fascist, ideas to exist in a context in which the termis shunned. The residue of the World War II struggle against self-identified fascist powers made the term into a synonym for evil in both Russia and the West, yet the former is replicating its features rather closely.
Bessner is right that the 2000 election was an ugly moment in democratic backsliding, when Republicans prevented a legally required ballot recount from taking place, for fear it would overturn the result, and were supported by their judicial allies.
