but then successors just copied him

when thats not how government works lol

I’m not a fan of fascism because it puts more emphasis on the state which is usually at the expense of individual sovereignty. I’ll agree that there is some benefit to it, I just don’t approve of individualism being trampled. I would even be willing to admit that every economic system has some pros to it. It just boils down to what you think is permissible for the government to do.

The whole “at what cost” idea

only on this server will one see a rational, cultured discussion take twists and turns and be damn well worthwhile to read and understand

the individual can die but the collective will live on, keeping this selfish individual mentality instead of pursuing something greater is why libertarianism is full of hedonistic pleasure seeking and greedy wealth hoarding

when you don't believe in a collective there is only your own personal flesh bound desires

I don't believe fascism is either totally individualist or collectivist, personally

well it isn't

nothing is

I think fascism acknowledges that mankind was built to be somewhere inbetween

collective identity needs to be tmepered with individualism or you get the problem of china where they don't develop or invent their own technology and are dependent on stealing from other nations

No ideology sides maybe egoism is entirely individualist or collectivist

A meritocracy of separate collectivisms defined as "nations"

they all just have a lean

Pretty sure communism leans to collective

Communism is entirely collectivist

^^

Libertarianism is almost entirely individualist

^^

you could debate that

communism denies hiearchy is egalitarian it rejects the tribalist collectivism nations stem from

but it's very close to "I will do anything I want cause I can"

I'm not saying actual communism can ever be achieved; it cannot

Communism and Fascism are two different kinds of collectivism

but people are dumb enough to try it

Communism wants gender and racial equality and a denial of hiearchy

same goes for total individualism

while fascism wants a complete hiearchy

again, communism ideally is total collectivism

well, those it considers in its collective

Fascism is not, but it recognizes the importance of components involving collective effort

considering rich people in your own nation aren't part of the collective lmao

Fascism is based on the organic reality of a nation state and the reality of a class based meritocracy within such a collective. These collectives themselves are divided in the world, hence, multiple conflicting and independent nations.

and I think that's an accurate understanding of macro human social relations

agreed

@everyone Daily Question🔖

Do you see Transhumanism overall as a benefit or detriment to humanity and why?

Detriment. We'll lose our soul if we become machines.
