1. Intolerance of opposing viewpoints so severe that force is sometimes used to suppress it.
-Leftist college students (and one Berkeley mayor) repeatedly steals and destroys runs of newspapers for containing expression they don't like
-most hecklers who shout down speakers are from the left
-Student at Cal State San Luis Obispo punished for wanting (but not actually doing, since he walked away after being asked to do so) to put up a flier advertising a talk by a conservative black author
-Psychology professor at same college fired from department chair position and denied promotions after being "outed" as a republican; one colleague tells her "We would never have hired you if we knew you were a Republican"; she sues the school and wins
-student forced to undergo psychological counseling for stating in class that he thought homosexuality was a mental illness that could be cured by therapy (see fascism's historic usages of psychology and psychiatry to "reeducate" political dissidents)
-Immigrant student at Foothill College has professor threaten his immigrant status unless he seeks regular psychological counseling after student writes an essay arguing why he thought the US Constitution was a progressive document for its time, contradicting the professor's political perspective
-Accounting professor at Cal State Fullerton fired after a campaign by his colleagues to do so which involved in part the passing around of a flier describing his Republican political views (which were published in the LA Times after he ran for office). he sues and wins
-Affirmative action conference gets driven off a college campus by threats and violence after things get so out of control that security can't guarantee their safety
2. Force used to suppress arts that contradict the favored political viewpoint
3. Film theater drops plans to show "Birth of a Nation", coupled with panel of experts who planned to discuss it afterwards, after threats are made to the theater.
4. Frequent use of labels of abuse and condemnation in attempt to shame opposition into silence
-labels of "racist", "sexist, "homophobe", "fascist", "misogynist", etc. fired willy nilly at anyone who questions the leftist canon
5. Use of educational institutions to indoctrinate the theoretical underpinnings of the desired political worldview
-Critical theory, the theoretical underpinnings of left wing fascism, which teaches that there is no objective truth, only the exercise of political power, is taught as gospel in numerous disciplines.
-Countless such stories on college campuses of students verbally abused or graded down for questioning the professor's political view
6. Appeal to the democratic process only when it suits them, only to oppose it when it doesn't. Part of the basic fascist view that all elements of society must be brought together for the purposes of serving the prevailing political ideology.
-Kerry workers slash tires of vans that were to take republican workers to the polls
-Leftist legal activists sue to try to have prop 209 declared unconstitutional, enacted into law by popular vote, on the supposed basis that it violates the 14th amendment's equal protection clause. Prop 209 banned all forms of racial discrimination by California's state government, including affirmative action in the form of racial preferences. Hence, arguing that that law violated the federal equal protection clause amounted to arguing that a state law banning racial discrimination contradicted a federal law banning racial discrimination (see also fascism's twisting of logic to serve its political ends).
7. Demonizing the opposition as part of dividing the world into the "evil them" vs. the "good us"
-see above labels of abuse and condemnation (racist, sexist, etc.), as well as knee jerk assumptions that leaders of the opposition (e.g. Bush) do not and can not have anything other than evil motives behind any of their actions, regardless of the fact that no evidence is presented to justify such localized cynicism.
