Fascisms Black Date
Fascism, pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/, comprises a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology[1][2][3][4] and a corporatist economic ideology. [5]
Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak.[6] Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[7] Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.[8] Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalist liberal democracies for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept.[9] Fascism is much defined by what it opposes, what scholars call the fascist negations - its opposition to individualism,[10] rationalism, liberalism, conservatism and communism. [11] In the economic sphere, many fascist leaders have claimed to support a "Third Way" in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control of state communism.[12][13] This was to be achieved by establishing significant government control over business and labour (Mussolini called his nation's system "the corporate state").[14][15] No common and concise definition exists for fascism and historians and political scientists disagree on what should be in any concise definition.[16]
Following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II and the publicity surrounding the atrocities committed during the period of fascist governments, the term fascist has been used as a pejorative word.[17]
Etymology
The term fascismo is derived from the Italian word fascio, which means "bundle" or group, and from the Latin word fasces. [18][19] In the 1910s, un fascio was the colloquial Italian term for a labor union.[20] The fasces, which consisted of a bundle of rods that were tied around an axe, were an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of the civic magistrates; they were carried by his Lictors and could be used for corporal and capital punishment at his command.[19] Furthermore, the symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is difficult to break.[21] This is a familiar theme throughout different forms of fascism; for example the Falange symbol is a bunch of arrows joined together by a yoke.[22]
[edit] Definitions
Main article: Definitions of fascism
Historians, political scientists, and other scholars have engaged in long and furious debates concerning the exact nature of fascism.[23] Since the 1990s, scholars like Stanley Payne, Roger Eatwell, Roger Griffin and Robert O. Paxton have begun to gather a rough consensus on the system's core tenets. Each form of fascism is distinct, leaving many definitions as too wide or too narrow.[24][25]
Griffin wrote: [Fascism is] a genuinely revolutionary, trans-class form of anti-liberal, and in the last analysis, anti-conservative nationalism. As such it is an ideology deeply bound up with modernization and modernity, one which has assumed a considerable variety of external forms to adapt itself to the particular historical and national context in which it appears, and has drawn a wide range of cultural and intellectual currents, both left and right, anti-modern and pro-modern, to articulate itself as a body of ideas, slogans, and doctrine. In the inter-war period it manifested itself primarily in the form of an elite-led "armed party" which attempted, mostly unsuccessfully, to generate a populist mass movement through a liturgical style of politics and a programme of radical policies which promised to overcome a threat posed by international socialism, to end the degeneration affecting the nation under liberalism, and to bring about a radical renewal of its social, political and cultural life as part of what was widely imagined to be the new era being inaugurated in Western civilization. The core mobilizing myth of fascism which conditions its ideology, propaganda, style of politics and actions is the vision of the nation's imminent rebirth from decadence.[26]
Paxton wrote that fascism is: a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.[27]

I can not understand how Germany was seduced by all this

@BenTheBold Hitler, in his own writings says he was a Christian and believed that God was on his side. He was anything but pagan. Nazi ideology had a lot in common with America. At least the type of Christianity that was popular in America when they were slaughtering Natives. "Manifest Destiny" was the belief that God was on the side of Americans and that it was gods will that natives die. Fascism comes wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. Ask the Jews or Native Americans.

Hittler was in no way a devout Catholic. You have been mislead. I used to think this as well. That is because many people with an agenda have mislead you. Please read what is considered the leading modern book on Nazism by Richard Evans, the Coming of the Third Reich. The Catholic Church was guilty of looking after their survival in Germany, rather than the greater good. In this regard, you are correct. But these were Pagans. Hitler stated that he wished to discard Morality.

This vid = Christian revisionism
Hitler was a devout Catholic. The Christian church knew full well what Hitler was up to and they endorsed it. After the war was over, the church helped Nazis escape to South America.
Hitler made his recruits swear allegiance to the fuhrer by placing their hand on the bible. He made them wear belt buckles which said "Gott Mit Uns"
Where ever mass slaughter is, the religious leader is not far away. Patriotism is always wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

@deceiver123m That seem kinda silly. Just cause you support something (Fascism in this case) doesn't mean that just cause something has one aspect of Fascism you will like it. I can assume that he hates the Soviet Union, which was authoritarian. Where as I love Liberty, yet i enjoyed living under the Soviet Union because of the economics of it. But that doesn't mean I will like a country just because it has liberty, or just because it is leftist.

@Ilikenuman If that is the democratic wish. I am about to become an immigrant but feel an instinctive unease at going to others' land. I ma not part of that land, culture, history etc but am married to a woman who is! In an ideal world we would all be free in the broadest sense - but as soon as freedom is given it seems we need laws and restrictions to curtail their excess!
