longer than Fascism
lmao
fascism died because italy ended up on the wrong side of a losing war
@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck I'll think you'll find that gay primitive Anarco-syndicalism is the best system actually
the same thing happened to liberalism before it overtook the earth
@killerqwerty GET OUT ME KAISERREICH GAME, YE GODDAMN SYNDIES
Facism is political little-man syndrome
i don't think italy's defeat in ww2 presents a compelling critique of the fascist system
I think it does
best system
why
>Shit Italian technology and morale
>This is all of Fascism
<:WaitWhatArmy:590858815189024778>
The reason they got massively overambitious was because of Facism
Any sensible ideology wouldve just left everyone else alone
well i don't know that they were massively overambitious
>inb4 someone unironically says that Mussolini made the trains run on time
they seemed to join the war on the side of the axis for opportunistic reasons
they joined when france was already about to fall
i don't know if the italian administration was aware that germany was going to declare war on the ussr
Even the Italians agree @Dubdogelmo
Italians peaked in 117
And have declined ever since
when they joined
but i mean, if we're to look at related fascist movements, like that of the buf, they didn't place the emphasis on war that the italians did
Mosley, generally was anti-war.
so if we do consider this to be an issue with fascism i am not sure that it is something that must necessarily be a part of it
Virgin Hitler and Chad Mussolini
but i mean even then i'm skeptical of the idea that their defeat was a byproduct of being too ambitious
Franco was pro war, but was stopped by a fammine
Yeah Mosley didnt want to go to war with Nazi Germany and Facist Italy <:thunk:462282216467333140>
Nor any of Europe, nor expand the Empire..
Preservation was his aim
Well its not as if the British needed any more territory
i'm critical of aspects of fascism i just don't think the way in which it fell is too indicative of an inherent flaw in the ideology
especially if we're to look more broadly at other fascist movements that didn't fetishize war
Correct, they needed to hold onto it @Dubdogelmo
As the UK needs to do.
I mean. The late 19th and 20th centuries taught that in a modern economy direct colonial imperialism doesn't turn a profit
