Why is it when poor people stick together its called "Solidarity" but for affluent folks its called "Fascism"?

Question

Notice the difference in terminology? The poor are supposedly brave / noble / good for sticking together...while in the meantime, wealthy folks are unfairly demonized for doing the same. This is nonsense!

This is a totally unacceptable double-standard and we simply aren't going to take it anymore!

Westhill: Sure, laugh it up buddy...do you have any idea what it's like to grow up rich? do you?? The stresses and high expectations are beyond anything you poor folks have ever experienced. Until you've walked a mile in our shoes, you have no place to comment

Answer 1

Do you understand what Fascism is? Fascism and wealthy people sticking together are very, very different things, and I've never heard of that being called Fascism.

The reason that "poor" people supporting each other is considered to be brave and noble is because people who do not have an adequate supply of money have very different struggles to those that wealthy people face. Wealthy people do not have to worry about what they're going to feed their children, or where the money for the bills is going to come from. To stick together means being generous, and to care for another when they need it most. What could be more noble than that?

Secondly, I agree with you that wealthy people are not as well-respected as those less fortunate. This comes from the idea that wealthy people don't have to work as hard, don't struggle as much, and to an extent stems from jealousy.

But to say that wealthy people are demonized, and called Fascists? That's taking things a bit too far. Let's avoid having a victim mentality, and really, I don't think there's much sense in caring. What people think just doesn't matter that much, especially when they're saying things that don't make logical sense, and using terms like Fascism in the wrong context and with the wrong meaning intended.

Don't stress. Just enjoy your trust fund. :-)

Answer 2

Well how about you and your rich, affluent friends get together and have a little solidarity march through the streets on labour day. Or perhaps marching isn't your thing. Maybe you could ride in the back of your chauffeur driven limousines on labour day in a show of solidarity.
Not all rich and affluent are fascists, just like all people who show solidarity aren't necessarily downtrodden and poor. Your should get out amongst your subjects more often.

Answer 3

Fascism is corporate controlled government involving authoritarianism. Rich people sticking together is called a country club.

Answer 4

Yes, the rich are victimized. Too bad they don't have the money to fight back. lol.

You are mistaken when you say affluent folks are called fascists when they band together. Fascism is something different --it's a description for a type of government.

Answer 5

People sticking together to help each other out is a good thing. When affluent people stick together to keep things the same and not do anything to help others, there is nothing honorable about it.

I say "black." maximum black people i understand say "black." the only time all and assorted says "African American" is while they are on good Morning usa.
