    there is a difference between fascism and authoritarianism. fascism includes strong national identity (think nazi germany), strong opression and some other stuff i forgot. So i would say both UN and USA are liberal but with authoritarian tendencies

      The USA is an authoritarian Neoliberal state. It places the rights of private property and capital as it’s primary ideal, serves the private property owning class and actively attacks movements globally that act in contrary to this order of state. Neoliberalism is not opposed to fascism, but prefers it’s more obvious forms to be in the countries that it exploits, rather than within its own borders, hence the US support of fascists such as those installed in banana republics and other countries of the global south whose resources U.S. based corporations profit from, in order to maintain that ownership and prevent workers from shifting that power structure.

        Yes, but still there is a difference between authoritarian neoliberal states and fascist states, at least according to political science, for instance people who study fascism.
