whether its white people or whatever
its a way of framing the world
"Race? It is a feeling, not a reality. Ninety-five per cent, at least. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today."
wow mussolini sounds like a racist
stone him now
yeah italian fascism had its bad guys
it doesnt always revolve around race per se
but at its core its just a way industrial civilizations deal with capitalist crises
industrial civilizations have had crunch points where the adaptation is an extreme gamble like the USSR or the lack of adaptation means you go fascist and make up a story where the system wasn't to blame
all you have just said is literally pointless because that applies to socialism too, like yea its a what industrial civilizations do when capitalism fails whats ur point
Then theres the smart capitalists who manage to find a way to change capitalist production and society to fit with the new material conditions
my point is its better to try to adapt than refuse to adapt
fascism is not adaptation to capitalist crisis
Its a refusal to deal with a systemic crisis
now capitalists may find a way to fix this current crisis
But fascists wont
do you even know what fascism is cause im lost
Yes
fascism is a reaction to a breakdown in capitalism
that appeals to people emotionally because the reality is way more chaotic and scary
Capitalists know this too and the last crisis saw them redesign the capitalist state
...how is fascism an appeal to emotion, it provides answers for problems, like turning a market economy into a corporatist economy where the economy is centrally planned by corporates
Its appealing even to me
national interests above all else
I get it
I understand why its appealing
but from the point of view of an alien
its always historically just been a lack of adaptation
We feel like we want our culture and nationality protected because those human traits are already repressed by capitalism
nazism just works
when you alienate people from one another they crave those things
It doesnt though
it did
Nazi economics relied on war
plain and simple
Which works in the short term
but it actually doesnt address the fundamental economic problems
as nazism didn't
the solution was the welfare state which allowed for a long period of economic stability
1) nothin wrong with wanting to protect ur kind
2) still havent gave me a reason why corporatism is bad
yes socialism is called socialism because its about protecting eachother socially
