>fascism is about being a bigot, persecuting minorities, and genociding people
When will this meme end?
Also most of Britain's history was already like this, so whatever.

/lit/ loves to talk about Fascism, but /lit/ doesn't seem to know what Fascism is.
Not even the people proclaiming themselves to be Fascists seem to know what it is.
People erroneously conflate it with Hitler's National Socialism, whose roots come from German Romanticism- or Traditionalists like Evola who explicitly stated himself to be "suprafascista" literally meaning "over" or "beyond" Fascism.
Everyone has seem to have forgotten that Fascism was a modernist movement with Marxist and Syndicalist roots.

So we are left with the philosopher of Fascism, neo-Hegelian Giovanni Gentile. His seminal work including "The Theory of Mind as Pure Act" and "Genesis and Structure of Society"
Gentile wrote "The Reform of Education" and was minister of Education in Italy. With his work he was able to turn the schools in Italy to among the best in Europe.
He was murdered returning from Florence in 1944 by communist partisans, from where he had been ironically arguing for the release of "anti-fascist intellectuals" from prison.

So has /lit/ read his work? Is there anyone well versed in Hegelianism who would like to weigh in on Gentile's Pure Actuality and Actual Idealism?
