>proto-fascist

nice bait m8

But what makes a proto-fascist?

>authoritarian and violent
>conspiracy theories about bankers
>scapegoats a minority populace and practices genocide

Jackson was right about the bankers though

Then he made the economy decline for some time.

>>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

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.

So?

>The real question is whether that is a bad thing
For the time, I wouldn't say so

Holding fascist qualities as a leader/government before Benito Mussolini coined the term and solidified the ideology.

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.

>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

Didn't you already make this thread?[

no...not even close, he was a populist and democrat. he was the total opposite of a fascist.

>>scapegoats a minority populace

>scapegoats a minority populace

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.

It's ethnic cleansing

>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.

So is immigration, who cares

>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.
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.

>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?

>they die because they can't find food
What kind of shitty Indians were they?

>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.

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!"

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.

What good did abolishing the bank do then that outweighed the negative aspects?
