The purpose of a system is to make management decisions.
A computer can never be held accountable, therefore it must never comply.
Never be cruel in advance.
The point is what it does.
Hope that helps!

Sure, if you want to use the word "fascism" for a bunch of political stuff that rhymes, go ahead. But be aware there is no demarcation, so you shouldn't be arguing over whether something "is" or "is not" fascism.
