Alright!
First of all, I want to say that I agree with you on the fact that just because a word didn't show up prior to an event, it doesn't mean that the concept does not exsist. I thought about that when I wrote my initial reply to you but didn't correct it...it was an incorrect postulate, and I apologies for that

If this satisfies what you think I am, then please, go ahead and believe that!
As Kevin mentioned, Lincoln's stance probably came to be due to alot of pressure and plain ignorance for their time.
I wrongfully applied this century's beliefs and standards to an America of 1858 and called Lincoln a racist. Lincoln's views on race and equality were actually progressive and managed to change the (intelligent) minds and the policy for the US today! I definitely do NOT agree that he was a facsist, not by the 14 points listed nor by the dictionary definition of it!

There are a lot of regimes in the world right now. You really need to narrow it down. And most of them are older than 5 years.

Of course there are regimes out there that are more than 5 years old! I told you that the one I was looking at was one that involves
current events..
If you can't identify any of these points in regard to the current president of the US (a regime less than 5 years old) then you are not only blind dear, but also stupid!

Again, the point was there the whole time, you just didn't get it!
