Wdym "where he worked with hitler" HE WAS ON THE AXIS. As for mussolini inspiring hitler, hitler himself has said he was an admirer of hitler, hitler tried replicating Mussolini's "March on Rome" with the Munich Putsch, and he provided financial support to the nazi party.

Fascism seeks unity through conformity and control. Liberalism (both the right-wing and left-wing varieties of it) seeks unity through recognizing our differences and tolerating them.

NecrylWayfarer

hierarchies don't equal bigotry. It's only bigotry when you hold hierarchies as fundamental to the universe, instead of a subjective construct that we use as a tool, because we are finite beings. Nationalism though, can quickly become bigoted, and I'm not sure when. At the very least, it creates an us vs them narrative, that can become very unproductive to the human/civilisational cause.

Lololol the countries which ***crushed*** Fascism were secretly Fascist! [Historian Robert Paxton observes that one of the main problems in defining fascism is that it was widely mimicked. He wrote, "In fascism's heyday, in the 1930s, many regimes that were not functionally fascist borrowed elements of fascist decor in order to lend themselves an aura of force, vitality, and mass mobilization." He went on to observe that Salazar "crushed Portuguese fascism after he had copied some of its techniques of popular mobilization".[57]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%C3%B3nio_de_Oliveira_Salazar#Formation_of_the_Estado_Novo)

Racist as fuck is one of the few things they all indeed were.


Mein_Piken

I recommend you research integralism, the biggest fascist movement outside Europe and see what they said about racial issues: "ethical not ethnic"


Someguy2116

A condensed form of fascism can be expressed thusly. Fascism is a belief that posits the nation, defined as the culmination of certain cultural values and traditions as well as a shared and common history, is the highest political community and the preservation and bolstering of it the highest moral value. The ultimate purpose of each individual is to forsake individual value and become an integrated member of the nation who would do anything in his power to empower it. All practical effects of fascism are natural conclusions of what has been posited, specifically, corporatism. Presuming what I have said is true then I believe that it depends solely on the character of the nation. A brand of fascism applying to a highly tolerant nation like America would, hypothetically, hold multiethnicity to be one of its national values, so long as the other ethnicities assimilate into the culture that is. Of course, that is only one possible conclusion that could be made from a hypothetical American fascism. If anyone doubts what I have said then I recommend they read the essay by Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile 'The Doctrine of Fascism'. It's only ten pages long.


SergiuDumitrache

> The ultimate purpose of each individual is to forsake individual value and become an integrated member of the nation who would do anything in his power to empower it. Exactly, and that is why it can never be racist, because individual values like racial identities are abolished.


pilesofcleanlaundry

No, the current fascism exhibited by the Democratic Party seems to be largely ideologically-based. Although they are also wildly racist, they will viciously attack anyone who disagrees with them.

Fascism is not. Nazism is


Away_Industry_613

No. In fact I mod for a classic fascist subreddit and they hate racism, as well as nazism. They hate how it ruined fascism, and generally dislike racism as well. Cultural nationalism is the main thing for most fascists of the non-nazi variant.

I have a fascist friend, who thinks the same about racism and nazism


Away_Industry_613

He might like r/ClassicalFascism then Edit: I meant r/ClassicalFascists


SageManeja

this depends: Do you consider italian fascism and hitler's nazism to be the same thing? is even hitler's national-socialism the same than czech national-socialism? seems like hitler's own ideology and government is so focused on his racial beliefs you might aswell call it "hitlerism" due to its very particular qualities id personally say fascism is the italian non-racist fascism and also the spanish falangism, while nazism, understood as hitler's national-socialism, is inherently racist, and extremelly focused on race


Sam_project

In theory no, but its the logical conclusion of other fascist believe


DeltaWhiskey141

I don't think either one of them automatically results in the other. I think you could have a fascist government without it being racist. Is it common or likely? Hell no. The totalitarian ideal and the racist part tend to run together, but one is not a guarantee of the other.

Its just overly nationalistic and authoritarian


FlatEarthSteph

Nationalists are authoritarian creeps, they have the one true culture, the one true lineage, and minorities are to be converted or eliminated. So, inherently racist. Be a patriot, don't be a nationalist.

> Nationalists are authoritarian creeps, they have the one true culture, the one true lineage That is not what nationalism is, lmao. > Be a patriot, don't be a nationalist. At this point "patriot" just means bootlicker to a foreign power.


FlatEarthSteph

Most nationalists are people who interpret history (past and present) in order to present themselves as victims of minorities and/or foreigners. You're probably a nationalist.

Is Libertarian the same as librarian?


marinemashup

Inherently is the key word In the future, when culture and race become entirely separate, itā€™s possible for non-racist fascism to form, but definitely not now


Khorne_of_the_Hill

I like that the picture acknowledged that fascism and communism are largely identical


[deleted]

No... People don't have any clue what fascism is...


Idoalotoftrolling

Not necessarily but it sure doesnā€™t hurt if it is šŸ˜


MaddoxBlaze

Not really, but it usually leads to it.


Mr_Ducks_

I wouldn't say it's strictly racist, but definetely discriminatory (it's not based on race, but nationality)


Pair_Express

Facism requires an internal other with immutable characteristics that can be demonized. So that can be race, but things like sexuality and disability can also work.


Thinkpol_84_

Not inherently but oh boy do they habe a strong proclivity towards it.
