Any example at hand of these liberal democracies that hystorically always slide to fascism? What does imperial core mean?

It's an interesting ending to an otherwise fine comment. Bernie would slide the US towards liberal democracy, further from fascism

Imo, that fact that people voted and vote in the USA doesn't mean that USA isn't a fascist country. Just look at how bullishly they waged wars, and made millions of people suffer torture, pain, abandonment. They're the epitome of "me ne frego!"

Yup, many auth/fash/totalitarian/oligarchies/etc hold elections which don't matter
