Fascism rejects class struggle entirely. Its actually one of the areas where it completely trumps Marxism, it embraces a reasonable form of capitalism to ensure a sound economic system, but as soon as we reach the technological state where its longer needed it will dispose of it.

That's not my view. It will happen when the time for it is right. When will that be? I don't know. If we look at the rate of profit it would reach dangerously low levels over 50 years. Of course in the meantime a war or climate catastrophy is possible which would speed up the process.

Except the class struggle is a material reality that must be confronted. Workers have a vested interest in getting as high a wage as possible; capitalists have a vested interest in paying as little for labor as possible. This conflict of interest is inarguable. Fascism simply ignores it, and presents a whole schizophrenic race-mythology as the answer instead, when in reality Capital doesn't give a damn what color of worker it exploits. Worse, Fascism is actually a very effective guard-dog for capitalism, keeping the angry laborer away from their own door by throwing them an "ethnic Other" as the enemy instead, dividing and conquering workers along race-lines.

>[D]espite its exceptional military capabilities, Fascism is still left with a thorny problem it can't resolve: whilst economic crisis keeps the reasons for a revolutionary upsurge continually to the fore, Fascism is incapable of reorganising the bourgeois economic machine. Fascism, which will never be able to overcome the economic anarchy of the capitalist system, has another historical task which we may define as the struggle against /political/ anarchy, against the anarchy of bourgeois class organisation as a political party. The different strata of the Italian ruling class have always formed political and parliamentary groups which aren't based on soundly organised parties and which have fought amongst themselves. Under the leadership of career politicians, the competition between these groups around private and local interests has led to all kinds of intrigues in the corridors of parliament. The counter-revolutionary offensive has forced the ruling class, in the realm of social struggle and government policy, to unify its forces. Fascism is the realisation of this. Placing itself above all the traditional bourgeois parties, it is gradually sapping them of their membership, replacing them in their functions and—thanks to the mistakes of the proletarian movement—managing to exploit the political power and human material of the middle classes. But it will never manage to equip itself with a practical ideology, and a programme of social and administrative reforms, which goes beyond traditional bourgeois politics; a politics which has come to nought a thousand times before.

That Marxism should triumph in Russia, where there is no industry, would be the greatest contradiction that Marxism could undergo. But there is no such contradiction, for there is no such triumph.

China isn't fascist. Really the only reason it seems so is because fascism isn't in any way a serious political position. It's literally "We Wuz Romans" but for white people. Nothing more than reactionary scream that gained support because war and economic crisis. As for China I did recently some research and the state enterprises are real people's property.

You are trying to tie his entire carrier to a single motivation, which become untenable under the light of the fact he was a glory seeker waging conflict and raising cities in his name well after the time he had become rich beyond most comprehension. The error you are committing is in assuming human action is completely reducible to a singular motivation. Even if that motivation is present in most or all people, it does not, by itself account for all human action and decision making.

But then I realised, all politics is and has always been identity politics. There is no reason for me as a working class heterosexual to support or align with the left in its current state. The spiritual values and sentiments that lead me to marxism in the first place are precisely those under attack by the left, ie. the western tradition, the belief in art, in love and in the individual. all give way to the managerial maxims of inclusion representation and diversity, all the while marxists larp like we are still in the industrial revolution.

(It's particularly incoherent when talking about "Africans", as if an Ethiopian and a Kenyan were the same thing). Meanwhile "nations" constantly change borders, ethnic makeup, etc as a result of historical contingencies. What IS real, however, is the material divide of rich and poor, Have and Have Not.

Fascists were not in favor of white nationalism
>Grouped according to their several interests, individuals form classes; they form trade-unions when organized according to their several economic activities; but first and foremost they form the State, which is no mere matter of numbers, the suns of the individuals forming the majority. Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number (17); but it is the purest form of democracy if the nation be considered as it should be from the point of view of quality rather than quantity, as an idea, the mightiest because the most ethical, the most coherent, the truest, expressing itself in a people as the conscience and will of the few, if not, indeed, of one, and ending to express itself in the conscience and the will of the mass, of the whole group ethnically molded by natural and historical conditions into a nation, advancing, as one conscience and one will, along the self same line of development and spiritual formation (18). Not a race, nor a geographically defined region, but a people, historically perpetuating itself; a multitude unified by an idea and imbued with the will to live, the will to power, self-consciousness, personality

I think you leftists call it ''strategic essentialism''. It is impossible to deny there is a concerted attack in our folkways and everything we hold dear, led by a fanatical corporate elite for whom boogeyman like ''western culture'' and ''the white race'' are not only very real but also very evil and worthy of total destruction. At work, we are mandated to attend ''sensitivity training sessions'', in which a highly paid professional lectures us on our inherent subconscious racism, if we want to take our mind of work with culture we are again told we have nothing to say and should not say anything and just consume whatever slop the well intentioned managers of the culture industry are pushing this week. Leftist organisations in the west are exactly like neoliberal corporate environments, only worse. The unions have all been busted and the left pretty much belongs to the queers. I wish there could be such a thing as working class solidarity, men in overalls of all colors and creeds standing together in harmony, but man is a tribal and most of all a spiritual animal. besides it is the leftists who keep telling me it's all really about identity, so why don't take them at their word?

>Strategic essentialism, a major concept in postcolonial theory, was introduced in the 1980s by the Indian literary critic and theorist Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.[1] It refers to a political tactic in which minority groups, nationalities, or ethnic groups mobilize on the basis of shared gendered, cultural, or political identity to represent themselves. While strong differences may exist between members of these groups, and amongst themselves they engage in continuous debates, it is sometimes advantageous for them to temporarily "essentialize" themselves and to bring forward their group identity in a simplified way to achieve certain goals

There is an attack, to be sure, but it's not because the corporate elite are "fanatical", or "hate" Western/white culture as such. They don't care what kind of culture they profit from, all that matters is money itself. They just want to create a multicultural state of affairs, so they can extract the maximum profits from all races, creeds, etc at once, and "sensitivity" training (and things like it) further that goal. Capitalism destroys everything it touches, not just racial or cultural concepts.

>I wish there could be such a thing as working class solidarity, men in overalls of all colors and creeds standing together in harmony,
And there can be. The "left" that "belonged to the queers" was more a Liberal phenomenon, pro-capitalist, and using things like LGBT rights as a way to offer "progress" that wouldn't impede the bottom line of profit.

Fascism is literally the only ideology to have ever solved class struggle.

Class is literally a spook. It's completely meaningless and doesn't exist in the world, in reality you have different humans succeeding at different tasks to different extends and some people exceed at more valuable skills.

socialism/marxism is also blind to the intersectional oppression stack, that's why the of woke pee oh cees in the media regard even a milquetoast socdem like bernie sanders as a borderline white supremacist. intersectionalism requires that the 'bad people' be punished and the victims exalted, the problem is most of the working class in the western world falls into the category of 'bad people', so the only hope for the left is to replace them as quick as possible

Again, wrong. There is a working class, who do not own any productive forces except their own labor, which they MUST sell in order to stay alive. There is also an owning-class, who DO own productive forces (factories, machinery, real estate, raw mineral resources, etc), and can buy other people's labor to make a profit while doing little or no labor themselves. This is the situation; the only question is how one deals with it.

There is some truth to what you say, on the economic side of things. There is still a ministry which sets wages, for instance.

Culturally speaking, the values of Marxism and Fascism have historically been opposed. But economically, interestingly enough, they are almost the same. This is similar to the thread I posted earlier, those two philosophies are two terrible sides of the same materialist coin: a materialist coin which seeks to subjugate the masses to discrete economic control.

Now Schumpeter’s brand of socialism, no matter how off his technicalities were, is efficient, since the wages are still different based on the different jobs.

But that is retarded distinction. The lawyer making 300.000k a year in a big lawfirm is "working class" and the self-employed tradesman who is barely making ends meet is part of the "owning class?

Which is economic control. Stricter economic control as to the rewards of labor and a deterministic stance on where the workers worked developed coeval with ministerial direction for finance and the economy. Jobs were determined, places were determined.

National Socialism, from an economic point of view, is socialist, in the way we understand socialism.

It does work, especially for warring nations. But again, we have no idea if this kind of state really functions in peacetime, and we could imagine that it would fade towards capitalism after the economically-motivated movement has ceased its course.

You (or someone else) presented the dichotomy of:

Yeah, pretty much exactly my point. Fascists aren't economic ideologues. During war you want a very different economy then during peacetime.
Having a more integrated, state (meaning military) controlled economy is what you want during wartime.

The point is there isn't a "Fascist economic doctrine", like a Marxist one, simply because the fascists didn't believe in such a thing.

Well if they would be tilling the soil, who would do the leading? The truth is they couldn't get much wealthy. After 1992, where massive privatization took place the vacation resorts, which citizens had two weaks to spend every year, have become property of the rich and within five years the wealth distributuion in Russia became close to the one in US. There's much less to gain in socialist economy from higher positions. It reminds me of the interview from the book "Women have better sex under socialism", in which they ask a doctor from GDR about his sex life back there and now. His response was that he has much better now since back then money didn't work on women. He complained how one needed to be "interresting" to well, have sex.
