    Khan got couped by the US for leaning toward non-alignment and trade with Russia. Will the US sponsored coup regime get couped themselves for a weapons deal with China?

            I don’t see anything in there which points to Khan being fascist. I agree that he’s no saint, but was a whole lot better than the US-backed military regimes Pakistan has now and has often had going all the way back to independence.

            Taking control of the countries’ institutions and making trade deals that benefit the people of the countries involved rather than western capitalists is the first step towards national liberation, and that’s what I understand Khan tried to do, even if he was at times hamfisted about it. That’s also why he ended up getting couped and now faces trumped up charges.

            That article is non-materialist and was a pain to read as it was super bare In Information.

            Nowhere in the article is an analysis why Khan is a fascist. The most interesting part was a one liner allegation that he got support form the wealthy but it wasn’t expanded on. At the very end of this drivel the spiciest thing was that he seems to be misogynist (does that make him a fascist?)

            And this one made him looked based:

            Khan’s surging popularity is not all good news. He wants to rule with an iron fist and fantasises about a China-style political system. As prime minister, during a state visit to Beijing he said that in “western democracies, it is difficult to bring change as you are bound by rules and regulations. Democracies of today plan only for the next five years. The Chinese Communist Party achieved better without democracy.”
