You seem to have Totalitarianism, Theocracy, and Facism all confused. I highlighted the points that true fascism actually embodies. And may I point out that Facism is awesome.
EDIT: Except eight. It does a good job at avoiding that.
You cannot be serious.
That’s not the same thing as government and religion intertwined. Since the majority of Americans are religious, it makes sense that they would rather have an elected official in charge that has religious ties with them. It makes it easier for the voting public to connect with the politician. Additionally, people feel more comfortable voting for others who share similar beliefs. Number 8 refers more to stuff like states with official state religions or personality cults.

That's true. I just wanted to show how deeply entrenched Christianity is in American culture with that image. It should then come as no surprise that that same culture leads to things like this, which is an example of government and religion being intertwined:

Interesting. Why oh why do people feel the need to force their religious hypocrisy upon the public view. Although The Theory of Evolution can be a far more dangerous conflict-causing agent if misunderstood. Then again we could all be brainwashed into believing science is real, it would be a BIG job arranging some irrational bullshit mechanism to seem logical and methodically analyzable but hey .. you never know. We could all be standing with our backs to a fire and claiming we know the color of the fire by looking at our shadows. I don't believe that but .. just saying.
3 idintification of enemies as a unifying cause yes
4 Supremacy of the militant not so much
5 rampant sexism not so much
6 controlled mass media no, but self-censoring mass media
7 Obsession with national security yes
8 Government and religion intertwined yes
9 Coporate power protected yes
10 Labour power supressed no
11 Disdain for intellectuals and arts no
12 Obsession with crime and punishment yes
13 Rampant cronyism and corruption Has been observed but whether its rampant i dont know
14 fraudulent elections no
Conclusion: thats 7 times yes and 3 times no I wont call Denmark facist, mainly because of this
10 Labour power supressed no
and 14 fraudulent elections no
But with 7 yes there is definately something evil going on and its definately giving enough reason be on the barricades!
That doesnt make any sense. Your answers are just wrong.
Disdain for human rights? Denmark? Explain....?
There is this case with Birthe Rønn Hornbech: http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statsløse-sagen FN's Børnekonvention = UNs konvention for children is the first set of rules that made up the human rights.
Denmark participated in the War against terror, and invaded afganistan, here they captured peaceful people and terrorist and what not. According to the rules you must know that they will not be subjected to torture before you hand them over to other nations like the USA. So Denmark proclaimed they had confidence that USA would not misstreat them, but so they did.
Protokol 12 - Diskrimination 12. tillægsprotokol forbyder diskrination i enhver form, såsom køn, race, hudfarve, sprog, religion, politisk eller anden overbevisning, national eller social oprindelse, tilknytning til en national minoritet, ejendom, fødestatus eller anden status.
Danmark har ikke (pr. 2005) ratificeret.
Rule 12: Discrimination bla bla bla, Dont discriminate people
Denmark has not ratified it (per 2005) I have read on other sources that it was still not ratified in 2010.
And why do you think that Denmark has not ratified rule 12 which is about discrimination? LOL
Obsession with national security? No? Nobody is obsessed with anything.
You come here and thread the national security then we shall see what happens to you
We engaged in iraq and afgahnistan. Because we wanted to give them democracy? No because they were a thread to us with weapons of mass destruction and with terrorist acts, or so they told us. Wether it is true or not doesnt make any difference because it just shows that national security has a high priority.
Look they are just stand holding up a sign:
And yet police came and took them away and put them to jail (released the next day), they posed no threat at all, and just tried to spread a peaceful political message. So if you see, this, totally peaceful activism, what do you not think will happen if you come with a national thread?
Obsession with crime and punishment? No. Explain what you mean by this, i dont get it.
Harder punishment, longer time in jails. Our jail system is collapsing cause rules and laws are getting stricter and stricter, meanwhile the jails recieves no additional funds, and it simply cant take it anymore.
That doesnt make any sense. Your answers are just wrong.
So why are my answers just wrong? Explain why do you think you are correct even before you had read my answers. You just assumed my answers was wrong even without listening to my explainations? What kind of a human are you? Just walking around judging people right or wrong without listening to their explainations? You dont live here (according to the information provided), you think you know Denmark better than me? ..What did you think
I live parttime (60%) in the Netherlands and (40%) in Germany since my girlfriend lives there, so ill try to fill in for both countries.
1 powerful and continuing nationalism There are some extremist nationalists in both countries. I dont know if you could call it powerfull though. But if you actually read how this question is meant No. 2 disdain for human rights There is some, but not a lot. Currently there is more disdain for human for human rights (mostly in the religion area) in the Netherlands.
3 identification of enemies as a unifying cause This is heapening in all western countries since 9/11. so, yes.
4 Supremacy of the militant No on both counts.
5 rampant sexism Nope
6 controlled mass media No
7 Obsession with national security hmm, not really, only within a small group.
8 Government and religion intertwined Not exactly sure what you mean by this. I'm thinking No
