i feel like the word gets thrown around too much, people dont understand its context, much like with classical liberalism tbh

2019-08-12 02:16:11 UTC  

alot of these movements and ideologies come out of a response to something else

2019-08-12 02:16:19 UTC  

and people just pull it and plug it into any scenario

2019-08-12 02:16:34 UTC  

what do you want to call authoritarian white supremacists in central Europe?

2019-08-12 02:17:09 UTC  

but those same descriptors could apply to the run of the mill British parliamentarian in the 1800s

2019-08-12 02:17:19 UTC  

at least ofthe monarchist bent

2019-08-12 02:17:50 UTC  

did they dress in 30s style uniform?

2019-08-12 02:17:53 UTC  

most people in power in these european empires were both white supremacist and authoritarians

2019-08-12 02:18:00 UTC  

predating fascism

2019-08-12 02:18:04 UTC  

and talk about the nation

2019-08-12 02:18:23 UTC  

and calling for the death of the Nation's enemies?

2019-08-12 02:19:40 UTC  

i think what makes fascism unique or distinct from authoritarianism or nationalism is that it's a bunch of these things combined into one plus it really has a totally different moral philosophy

2019-08-12 02:19:54 UTC  

for example, violence and war are seen as desirable

2019-08-12 02:20:04 UTC  

most states at least made the pretense of saying war was unfortunate

2019-08-12 02:20:20 UTC  

which would explain the uniforms they wwar TODAY

2019-08-12 02:20:31 UTC  

wear*

2019-08-12 02:20:47 UTC  

but part of that is the expansionism built into its DNA

2019-08-12 02:20:48 UTC  

I think war is predictable to come soon...
Just from how the news keeps race baiting everything.
And all of the shit around the world.

2019-08-12 02:20:58 UTC  

a fascist state must expand

2019-08-12 02:21:12 UTC  

by definition, if not thru its borders

2019-08-12 02:21:15 UTC  

then other forms of power

2019-08-12 02:21:27 UTC  

that's what they are doing

2019-08-12 02:21:42 UTC  

the sole purpose of the state in fascism is to increase the power of the state

2019-08-12 02:22:01 UTC  

liberties and rights be damned

2019-08-12 02:22:11 UTC  

and Molanieux endorsed that kind od state in Poland

2019-08-12 02:23:08 UTC  

well idk about his excapades in poland, butim thinking of an american frame of reference

2019-08-12 02:23:26 UTC  

and the accusations of fascism about trump and conservatives is just silly to me

2019-08-12 02:23:33 UTC  

well, he speaks mostly to Americans

2019-08-12 02:23:47 UTC  

sorry excuse for fascists if they are

2019-08-12 02:23:58 UTC  

why?

2019-08-12 02:24:03 UTC  

google the news

2019-08-12 02:24:11 UTC  

they're going after the gays as we speak

2019-08-12 02:24:38 UTC  

so did the Leninists in the ussr

2019-08-12 02:24:43 UTC  

thats not exclusive to fascism

2019-08-12 02:24:43 UTC  

no

2019-08-12 02:24:47 UTC  

that is not true

2019-08-12 02:24:50 UTC  

Stalin did

2019-08-12 02:24:53 UTC  

Lenin didn;t

2019-08-12 02:25:17 UTC  

The early Bolsheviks promoted different sexualities

2019-08-12 02:25:35 UTC  

but there was still persecution

2019-08-12 02:25:41 UTC  

under STALIN
