- ultranationalism - The strong belief that the interests of a particular nation-state are of primary importance. That's a good thing in a country's leader.
- populism - Populism is a political outlook or disposition that appeals to the interests and conceptions (such as hopes and fears) of the general population, especially when contrasting any new collective consciousness to push against the prevailing status quo interests of any predominant political sector. Also, at least sometimes, a good thing.
- anti-immigration policies - Another good thing.
- nativism - a return to or emphasis on traditional or local customs, in opposition to outside influences. Also good.
- anti-communism. Everyone who is not evil is anti-communist.
- anti-Marxism. Everyone who is not evil is anti-Marxist.
- anti-anarchism. Opposing anarchy is also good.
- opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy - Liberal democracy is a political ideology and a form of government in which representative democracy operates under the principles of classical liberalism. It is characterised by fair, free, and competitive elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties, and political freedoms for all people. Opposition to fair elections, separation of powers, and the rule of law is the only negative on this list.
Here is where you can tell that Pipes is a fraud and knows that what he's saying isn't true. Since when is a nation enforcing its borders "fascist" or "neo-fascist"? From the 1920s to the 1960s, the US had limited immigration. Did that make the US fascist? All this is garbage and Pipes knows it. But he's also a Beltway commentariat puppet, and he knows on which side his bread is buttered.
