[quote]did I realize he was actually what we fought against in WWII, fascists and social class.[/quote] Wrong. The United States was fighting against Japan as revenge for the attack on Pearl Harbor (cause of USA getting into the war), and to protect it's interests in Europe. [quote]but social class is exactly that: fascism[/quote] All of my what. Fascism has no issues with social class. If it did, nobody would mind it. [quote]So yeah, what the title asks. Are they technically fascists?[/quote] Nope.

  • It isn't as if America looked across the pond, said to themselves "Gee, Hitler sure is mean!" and then went off to war. Pearl Harbor drew America into the war in the Pacific and gave the American government the opportunity to go to war in Europe.
