Belated consensus that Putin's Russia is a fascist state. I warned about this explicitly in 2014 and in Winter Is Coming. The shift from "rational authoritarianism" to a personality cult, need for enemies, and victimization was clear. https://t.co/rCJtxqeXQI — PolitiTweet.org

In my 2015 book, I cited Paxton's definition of fascism and said it looked like Putin used it as a to-do list. And so it was and so it is. It doesn't end. The Economist: "Expansion is in its nature. It will seek to expand both geographically and into people’s private lives." — PolitiTweet.org
