Can you be more specific about the quote you used before?

Why do they call themselves "the third position"?

Just doing follow-ups to try to understand you.


I'm sorry, but I'm not going to give a TL;DR lecture on history when there are good sources for that.

What you said sounded like a bold claim. I just wanted to understand if you understand the implications of applying that label. I wanted to know if you understand the reason.

I'm not gonna blindly fight based on a vague idea that history is repeating itself. Or should I? (rethorical).

You seem like a very educated person with broad historical knowledge. Why use cheap accusations to put your ideas forward? (rethorical).


What is the bold claim? That fascists refer to themselves as "third position"? That's literally textbook history. Or that modern-day GOP, now fully taken over by the Christian nationalist wing, is also a "third position" party, and that is why their de facto platform (as evidenced by what they're literally doing right now) is the way it is? That's a simple observation.
