Are Anders Breivak and the Westboro Baptist Church fascists?

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I know their professed ideology -Tea Party style libertarianism, extreme anti-Islam on one hand and extreme homophobic fundamentalist Christianity on the other is, on the surface, opposed to fascism but...they seem to be running very much on the same impulses-racism, extreme nativism, a quest to return to some sort of primeval organic unity of society, etc, comes very close to nazism.

Could Breivak and Fred Phelps be regarded as fascists?

[Susurrus]

I would say no, they would not be considered fascists due to the fact that they do not intend to establish a corporativist state. Also, I don't think Brevik was a Tea Party style libertarian.

Fred Phelps could be, but he's pretty extreme even for Fascists. More than likely he had a psychotic break at some time - as he was part of the civil rights movement in the 60s apparently.
