New Jason Stanley book does a good job 'defining' fascism imo

nazism is a FORM of fascism, but fascism isnt necessarily nazism

Mussolini and Franco were the Nazi equivalent in their nations

no

YesZ

nazism includes eugenic ideology

They were closely allied, had meetings together

fascism isnt necessarily eugenic

Fallacy of false equivalence.

GG @Throttles, you just advanced to level 6!

this is just pure dishonesty

Fascism is necessarily ethnostatic

and that doesnt mean eugenics

or jew hating

Eugenics is just an extension of that

or hating disabled people

yes its an EXTENSION

its not INHERENT

Certainly all three you mentioned were antisemitic

mussolini turned against jews because hitler wanted him to

Sophie, I told you that fascism is the political application of Gentile's actual idealism. Not if you want to go by the canonical definition of the actual philosopher of fascism, is up to you.

not because mussolini wanted to

Is that an important distinction?

yes

mussolini wasnt anti semitic

It is not. He had political pressure to do so, so he did

it was an opportunistic policy

Yes, he was.

its not a belief in jews being legit bad

Yes, because he was a Nazi

but he wasnt

lmao

That is not an important political distinction

this is literally peak dishonesty

to be fair, most nazis werent racists either, they just wanted to get paid

hitler was an 'idealist' but not all of them were

no but the nazist ideology was racist

many under him were just pure cynics

if you believed the ideology you were racist

We’re talking about the actions of a party

like you could be in the nazi party without believing in nazism
