Identity-based ideologies are cancer
No, I'm saying you can't in the modern age defend fascism as a practical system of government
Not without a gold medal in mental gymnastics
I'm honestly hoping my country just pulls a no deal Brexit at this point. For me the EU has insulted my country enough, it ought to be told to fuck off and stew in its own hubris.
And yet ideologies like communism and anarchism still prevail
But with little or no power @A Random Crusader
Just because something has failed does not mean people shall not sympathize
We are in a comparatively stable era
No but we know *why* it failed and we can avoid it
There can be no revolution without a reason to rebel
Once major problems arise people will start pointing fingers
Yea but when and if a revolution comes I can assure you it won't be fascists
The communists will blame the capitalists, the fascists will blame the jews, and the anarchists will blame the government
Fascism is despotism with a bureaucracy
The border proposal is a major win for us though. The EU being willing to do customs checks away from the border means we can tell the soft Brexit crowd to completely fuck off
Especially not in the west, we have tasted liberty and we will never give it back up, unless the authoritarian left isn't stopped soon
That's not to say we still won't give it up
Fascism combines the worst elements from capitalism and socialism
It's openly pro-corruption
The real tipping point with gaining sympathy for failed ideologies is when adherents can successfully bury, obscure or euphemise what that failure actually represents. Which in the case of fascism and communism is millions of dead people. There is sympathy for bad ideologies as long as you can detach them from their consequences. That's why fascism is fucked but communism still has breathing room. Academics lie about communist brutality.
@Roarey See also: Making holocaust denial illegal. It made things worse
Yes which is why so long as we have free access to non-biased information fascism will never rise again
Well, yeah.
@Fitzydog indeed, people thinking they can use the government to ban an idea instead of having the intellectual courage to challenge them in open forum
Have any of you read book about fascism
The idea of holocaust denial is a joke. The attitude and rhetoric and policy of the nazi government towards Jews is incontrovertible, so the idea that it would be sensible to apply a humane motive to a government that caused the entire world to burst into fucking flames is pure insanity. Delusional tripe.
Yes, we must be open
>have any of you read book
Big English
English is irrelevant
You're speaking it
In an English server
Just Anglo trap
It's a tad important here
Sadly
You are Russian, do you po Russky?
Ruskies?!?
Yes I speak Russian
*WHERE?!?*
