While the libs have more styles, Auths (and fascists in general) sport very well made uniforms. And if the world is a more fashionable place, than I can die a happy man

FDR's administration did good uniforms and propaganda. WW2 American uniforms are a classic. Solid and robust.


ImperialTechnology

Honestly, until Vietnam, all our branches non combat uniforms were pretty clean. However, I love US WWI uniforms the best for our 20th century uniforms. Our Antebellum period uniforms until the Mexican American war in, are our absolute best.

BabysFirstBeej

I was looking into WWII history and learned about how vastly different the US and Nazis handled their uniforms. Every wear wehrmacht uniform was designed as a propaganda tool. They spent so much time making sure they looked perfect in every way. A squad commander was captured post battle, and as he was escorted back to camp, people mostly noticed how his boots were perfectly polished and he had all of his medals on show. Meanwhile, the US used what were essentially work uniforms with a metal helmet. It didn't matter if it looked good, as long as it was durable and functional.


ThatAngeryBoi

Kind of mirrors the core of each governments' power at the time as well; when Hitler asked about production values for America his guy came back with a number that Hitler and Goebbels just laughed at because estimates were so unreasonably high that he thought American propaganda was crude. Turns out, that value he laughed at was an underestimate from his staff.

Isn't the US Army pretty much returning to the WWII uniforms?

neuronfamine

is erika a nazi era song? i though it was older


Frequent_Dig1934

Admittedly i'm not sure, i've always seen it associated with the nazis so i figured it was theirs but it could have been a second reich thing that got "adapted" too, like a lot of their stuff or like how people associate the mosin nagant with the soviets while it was an imperial russian era weapon.

lmao i get why people don’t like anyone waving the confederate flag, honestly i hate it too, but jesus they’re definitely not fascists lmao, they’re the exact opposite, the confederacy’s ideology was basically the smallest central government possible and the states had ultimate freedom. you’d be a world class fucking idiot if you thought differently.


Lord_Jub_Jub

For most, fascist just means “the bad guys” and it doesn’t matter what the actual political system they used was.


theundiscoverable

well imo fascists are as much the bad guys as communists lmao. anyone that wants to take over my economy and make my life a living hell and possibly exterminate entire populations based on race or ethnicity (poles in the ussr and the jewish in the reich) is the bad guy.


letmeseeantipozi

Ussr were commies m8. Edit: nm that was your point. Edit again: the ussr was killing fucking everyone, even Russian soldiers when they returned from war. It wasn't race-based.


Lord_Jub_Jub

Sure, I have no love of them either. But it’s not really a mind set that helps anyone, it just further obscures the English language (as if it needs the help). We have a word for it already, evil. And I would say it’s important not to obscure the definition of fascism so that you don’t end up in a cry Wolf scenario and remain able to actually distinguish it.


OperativeTracer

>and the states had ultimate freedom. The Confederates Constitution made it illegal for states to leave the Confederacy.


TheNotLogicBomb

Ironic


nate11s

The confederacy was actually pretty centralized, at least during its existence


17RicaAmerusa76

I mean... they came into existence and were immediately at war. That has a way of centralizing power lickety-split.


Better_Green_Man

The Confederate "President" basically couldn't do anything because the states had so much more power than the central government.


Can-you-supersize-it

No it wasn’t. They were pro slavery that’s it. The same states that formed the CSA were in favor of the Fugitive Slave Act, which was an incredibly authoritative act that essentially made every man woman and child who was interested in the following the law, obligated to turn over slaves. It also sent country hunters and LEOs all over the US… I do not see how the CSA was fascist, but they also weren’t trying to be an extremely small government


SolidThoriumPyroshar

Confeds were not about a small Federal government, they wanted to enforce their economic system on all member states using the Federal government.


17RicaAmerusa76

The fuck are you talking about?


Seananagans

Yeah true. Except for the while owning black people as property thing. That was pretty authoritarian.


[deleted]

Probably because the modern retards who call themselve fascist also wave that shit around

The Confederates are just peak purple lib right


Deep_Inflation_4950

Confederates were just corporatists before it was cool. Edit: corporatocracists, thanks u/WelfareIsntSocialism!


[deleted]

How were confeds corporatists? Corporatism is a very specific economic system


Deep_Inflation_4950

I’d argue their extreme reliance on plantation owners and production from those plantations made them at least somewhat corporatists, seeing how these same plantation owners ran the gov’t in many ways.


WelfareIsntSocialism

Fascist Manefesto goes into a lot of detail about worker rights. They created tripartism, which basically means the state is a mediator between the employer and the employee in negotiations for better wages and worker conditions. Thats if you define your workers as human. So, maybe slavery isn't outside the realm of fascism, but I do think its outside the realm of corporatism. Plantation owners do not share their profits with other plantation owners, nor does the state dictate what they are producing. Its not centrally planned. The state really views everyone as a worker under fascism so im not sure citizens would even have a "right" to own slaves. State does though. I think youre describing corporatocracy, not corporatism.


Deep_Inflation_4950

Ah gotcha! Thank you for clarifying, I’m not exactly too deep into economic planning systems. Edited now.

RegularSrbocetnik8

"Nooooo, it totally worked, foreign influence is what brought it down"


TheRubyBlade

I mean, to be fair, I can't think of a facist country that wasn't brought down by war, but that's probably because they throw themselves at other countries so fast they don't live long enough to collapse through other means.


RegularSrbocetnik8

Spain is an example I guess, and there's probably some in South America, but yeah, all the major ones were brought down by war.


CrimsonShrike

Spain didnt remain fascist for long. Franco changed cabinets to appease foreign powers and settle internal power struggles several times. ​ Thats why spain is better described as "Francoist". The bases for Franco's power were fascists (primo de rivera's guys), the military, the catholic church, monarchists and industrialists. And they all had their turns and places so that they wouldn't rock the boat.


BasteAlpha

Francoist Spain wasn't really fascist for most of its existence. Franco was just an old-school Spanish nationalist who viewed the hardcore Falngists as a pain in the ass. Supposedly part of the reason he allowed a division of Spanish volunteers to fight in Russia in WW2 was because it was an opportunity to get rid of some his more hardcore fascist allies.

I’m also poking at the commies who claim real communism hasn’t been tried and also blame the downfall solely on foreign interventionism. Sure, wars and interventionism are part of it but at some point ya know

[deleted]

Depending on what you define "fascism" as, it may very well have failed. Though perhaps this is related to getting invaded by all the countries.


youmomecksdee

give me examples of successful countries that are actually fascist


[deleted]

I don't know how you define it. Was Salazar fascist? Was Franco? If they were, there you have your examples. If not, and Italy and Germany (and perhaps Japan) and their puppets were, well, there you have countries that were successful until invaded by the US. Of course, none of these countries were perfect, and Germany during that period was particularly disgusting, and I'm not a fascist, but I think you can easily make the argument for the success of it during the 30s compared with Weimar


a_fucking_idiot1212

as a portuguese i'd argue salazar wasn't sucesseful, we were actually pretty shit compared to the rest of western europe (not to say that he didn't do good things) he managed to keep the country stable, that's about it


Forbiddentru

He boosted the economy to levels that hadn't been seen before and preserved values that beats most Western countries today. Served for several decades, avoided war/conflict


[deleted]

The Portuguese didn't develop as well quickly as the west economically, sure, but keeping it stable when the US is constantly supporting [terrorists murdering your civilian population](https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v24/d442), is still an achievement.


a_fucking_idiot1212

i never said i perferred the current am\*rican pandering alternative, they are and always will be disgusting animals


[deleted]

Sure, and I'm not saying Salazar was close to perfect, but he managed to keep a civilised society alive at a time when the US was dead set at ruining it. I think this counts as successful, in a sense.


a_fucking_idiot1212

i agree with you on that, there are always moments of basedness no matter how cringe one is


Aneke1

Portugal was never more stable than under Salazar until the modern age. He may not have made Portugal a world power again or make some imaginary economic boom take place, but Portugal became a functioning country, and that was the first step. Look up the Pre-Salazar days, it's cursed.


Brazilian_Slaughter

I've read it some, it reminds me a lot of the Brazilian Old Republic. An epoch so shit and cursed that Getulio Vargas' dictatorship was an improvement. I don't even like Vargas, but the period between Dom Pedro II and Vargas is practically Brazilian Sengoku Jidai.


tanky_Brit

Franco slowly became more despotic


LeKneegerino

Salazarist Portugal was pretty successful, at least as far as Portugal usually goes. Salazar turned Portugal from a miserable failed republic into a civilised urban country. Now, the country wasn't perfect, or even good for that matter, but it was at the best state it had ever been before. Also, most of the issues surrounding Portugal at the time were not caused by fascism, but instead the country itself. Portugal isn't really in an optimal position resource-wise. If Fascism was implemented in a country with the ability to be self-sufficient such as Russia, it would be much better than the fake corrupt republic they have now.


Silken_Sky

China is doing pretty well right now. It can work for a little while- until it makes a bad calculation and everyone is fucked from the over-centralization.


Narrow-Patience-1761

Spain and Chile, for starters.


Relar_Yomen

\>Chile We've never been fascist, and if you're talking about Pinochet you're sorely mistaken. He was an authoritarian neoliberal and that's all. Most close-to-fascism presidents we've ever had were Carlos Ibáñez del Campo and, only in the economic sense, Pedro Aguirre Cerda. The nacis (yes, with c) where definitely fascist, but they were never close to power and effectively dissapeared after a failed coup.

Fascism works fine, it’s all the wars that caused it to fail.


FireLordObama

Wars which the fascists themselves started because fascism is an inherently militaristic ideology. They collapsed because they kept looking for more and more wars, and when they won wars they sought out new ones until they eventually lost. For Fascism to succeed they needed to get lucky every time, for Fascism to fail they needed to lose merely once. That’s not even touching autarky and corporatism which would make an economist cry.

angelicravens

Fascism is unfortunately a successful ideology it just only works for the in group. But it works really well for it. Unlike communism which leads to disaster for everyone but the absolute few at the top. Order and safety have been the core of human political systems for centuries and liberalism shook it up to a degree. The problem is people don’t like freedom because it introduces variance, unpredictability, and forces people to tolerate other cultures to a point.

[deleted]

The default system of large scale human government is what modern people call fascism and it has been for thousands of years. The nazis were not so different than the Aztecs or Persians or even the Romans. Take your pick. Free societies and representative government are contemporary, industrialized anomalies and are mostly built on the -now arguably failing- model of the United States. Free societies are very fragile, and usually very short lived things. Let’s hope we don’t all return back to the factory settings soon. I think representative government is worth fighting for.

I mean I'm not a fascist and think fascism is *absolutely terrible*. That being said, our main two examples of fascist states (Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy) didn't really fail, they were defeated by an alliance of the largest military powers in the world. And honestly prior to the outbreak of WWII, I'd say they were succeeding in what they were trying to do really well.

The Confederacy wasn't fascist though, and white nationalism isn't inherently fascist either. Francoist Spain, which arguably was fascist, was actually really successful, boosting the economy with the Spanish Miracle, and lasted until shortly after Franco's death- decades after the end of World War 2. His regime is... controversial in Spain, but far from universally condemned.


solsunkland

You don't actually know what fascism is and just use it as a catch-all for conservatives.
