    Yeah, you know what, I’ll say it and I’ll say it right to you: “fascists” shouldn’t have a “c” in it. It just doesn’t look right when I read it and seems to unnatural to type. I get that it’s a loan word, but still.

          Eh, I know. I was mocking the other person because I have no idea how you’d spell it without the c in English, since y’all don’t have the diacritical marks. Fasist? Completely different pronunciation. Fašist itself is pronounced differently from fascist too, though. More of an sh sound in the middle, and the a is more like the a in “fart” in English. So not a serious suggestion.
