In a response to Mark Ferrante’s letter about fascism, Stephen Bach critiques several of Ferrante’s claims. He identifies inaccuracies and misleading statements regarding the historical labeling of Republicans as fascists, the comparison of migrant detention centers to concentration camps, media responses to Trump’s rallies, and critiques directed at ICE. Bach argues that while some leftists have used extreme language, mainstream Democrats typically avoid such terms, and he emphasizes that many claims of fascism and hypocrisy are overgeneralizations. He also clarifies that prominent Democratic support for Israel exists and contends that many issues raised by Ferrante—like vaccination mandates and police funding—are not inherently fascistic. Overall, Bach concludes that Ferrante’s assertions misstate history and ignore the complexities within political discourse.
