Is Jim Ireton a Fascist, a Socialist or just an idiot?

Jim is proposing some of the most Liberal and Socialistic policies ever seen in Salisbury. His heavy handed approach to force property owners of multiple-family units that are of a non-conforming use, according to him, to reconvert these old homes back into single family homes is so unrealistic.

The approach and effect is quite in line with Fascist tactics.

Robert Paxton described fascism as: a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy, but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Jim's view is that renters equals crime. His goal is to cleanse the city of one class of people, hence it will eliminate the problem.

This heavy handed approach also falls in line with the thought that landlords are evil and have too much money. On that front he devised a piece of legislation that would financially crush the rental industry in this town.

What he does not take into account is the number of people this will displace. The other fact is that most of these people are minorities. Is this intentional or is it just blind stupidity?

SAM I AM is of the opinion that Ireton is a Fascist and will resort to forcefully putting people on the street to advance his agenda.
