    It’s just inane splitting of hairs - a pointless distinction.

    What do you call a fascist that spreads fascism? A fascist.

    What do you call a fascist that doesn’t spread fascism? A fascist.

      Its not though. A liberal just exists and does not necessarily advocate for liberalism.

      A fascist may or may not spread fascism, but a liberalist definitely tries spreads liberalism. Would you like to talk about other weird things in the English language?
