      Churchill agreed with fascists on almost everything lmao. He was a eugenicist:

      “I am convinced that the multiplication of the Feeble-Minded, which is proceeding now at an artificial rate, unchecked by any of the old restraints of nature, and actually fostered by civilised conditions, is a terrible danger to the race.” - Winston Churchill

      He was a white supremacist that viewed much of the world as inferior races and wanted to uphold racial hierarchies:

      “I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place.” - Winston Churchill

      “I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes,” - Winston Churchill

      He was an anti-semite that victim-blamed jews for their own persecution, and a zionist because zionism was compatible with anti-semitism in the form of kicking jews out of europe.

      “For it may be that, unwittingly, they are inviting persecution — that they have been partly responsible for the antagonism from which they suffer.” - Winston Churchill

      and he told the Italian fascists he’d have supported them if he were Italian:

      “If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism.” - Winston Churchill

      And called Mussolini:

      “The description of Mussolini is [very] vivid. No doubt he is one of the most wonderful men of our time.’” - Winston Churchill

      And in 1919 he sent 10,000 troops along with tanks into Glasgow to break striking workers.
