I was reading about Italian Fascism and Austrofascism the other day. I am not Fascist but I just thought it was so much smarter to have a right wing movement that actually unified people and put them in service of the nation at large, and wasn't stupid enough to believe in blood horoscopes, than the weirdo bullshit the Nazis came up with. It really made me wonder why today's "Fascists" tend to be so obsessed with race. My guess: They're just more attracted to "I'm better because of ancestry rather than merits!!!" and don't actually care about any sort of real Fascist program meant to serve anybody. Can any self-respecting Nazi tell me if that's accurate of the usual Nazis? It's funny but what I'm basically saying is, these far right wingers are actually ironically more larpers than they are principled right wingers. Which is sad, like...what are they? Should they even be on a political compass anymore? It's so sad. Anybody who lacks principles other than muh resentment is literally the Last Man.

Hitler wasn't a retard, he was just compiling the equivalent of nowadays pop science about a still budding raciology in Mein kampf and had a quite vague doctrine that was just about self-preservation and self-cultivation, that passing by the ostracisation of Jews.
Other than that it's pretty tame, but that great intuition he shared with the Americans has now been demonized (people say he was racialistically anti Slav or anti French or anti Latin, that he thought they were not Aryan and Untermenschen when it was clearly not the case).

On the one hand it's part of the zeitgeist. Race is a major cutural factor at this moment and due to the currentand historical tensions here in the United States it is going to be a major factor in any political viewpoint.
When one also considers that the only form of fascism that anyone really ever hears about is National Socialism it follows that the people who look into fascism are primarily going to learn about National Socialism. This coupled with the fact that the biological/materialist worldview has outpaced spiritual viewpoints, people are more likely to establish race as the cornerstone.

According to whom? To you? Why is your opinion on what fascism is or is not relevant? I've just provided examples on why both Italy and Germany, the two major fascist regimes that ever existed, were both more or less cosmopolitan. What do you have to support your position? Do you want to argue that Nazi Germany and Italy were not fascist?

This book is a very brisk read and is a very good introductory primer to what fascism is and the history of fascist movements in the 20th century. Also spends some time talking about how fascism has historically been difficult to describe accurately and why that is. Definitely worth checking out, probably one of the most useful books I read when studying fascism at university.

This isn't necessarily true. There have been plenty of fascist movements that are multi-ethnic. Your point applies for fascist movements which identify membership to the nation THROUGH ethnicity, however, not all fascist movements do so. I would say that a majority of fascist movements historically did, but by no means did all of them, so it cannot accurately be called a fundamental aspect of fascism.

I think it can be argued that there is no such thing as fascist philosophy in the current sense of the term. It is very difficult to identify core principles underlying Mussolini's corporatism, Hitlerism and Franco's dictatorship.
Wasn't the origin of the term fascism in this broader sense he Communist view that "fascism" is the last attempt of Capitalism to prevent the emancipation of the workers? Even if that explanation is correct it does not tell us what fascism is in itself, only its origin.

>> No.17933842

The commie definition does not deny the etymological definition you gave. The real problem with it is that its not a definition. If you say that fascism is the last attempt of Capitalism to prevent the emancipation of workers, you are not telling us what fascism is in itself (ie identifying its positive qualities as a political philosophy or a system o government), you are just describing its function.

But it's completely retarded nonetheless considering italy was not an industrial nation before fascism came around, the proletariat was too small to be relevant.
Communists never really thought about countries with slow economy, they always had in mind the UK, Germany, France so they really could not understand what was going on in Italy, then there was soviet propaganda and now so-called communists turned into some kind of crusaders against le evil (capitalism, fascism), they are far away from the dry rationality of their elders, they're just too autistically self-centered

I just think it is irrelevant if the commies are right or not, a definition of a thing can never be a description of how it came about, because then you are describing the relation of fascism to the social circumstances that brought it about, but you are not telling us what fascism is itself, what are the positive qualities that make up the fascist system or philosophy. And as I said I think there is a plausible case to be made that the very notion of fascism is itself confused, that there is no common basis behind Mussolini's totalitarianism and that of Hitler's. One could make the case that fascism is not a philosophy but simply a collection of characteristics certain 20th century political regimes had, but then fascism becomes arbitrarily defined as whatever Hitler's and Mussolini's regimes happened to have in common.

Everything you need to know about it is in the origins and doctrine of fascism. It's pretty much basic bitch hegelian faggotry that accepts all of M*rx's premises but rejects his proposed solution and instead of seeking revolutionary class war it strives for class collaboration within the confines of a corporate nation-state. It's just edgy socialistic contrarianism that can't even into proper reactionaryism.
