there are differences, but telling me that facism is that vapid and just basically a framework that talks about how the state can shape culture, that reminds me too much of the communist rethoric that we are all blank slates and the party (or in this case the state) is the writer
To a National Socialist, the volk is everything. The state exists (if it exists) as a tool for promoting the interests of the nation. So the actual form of government is secondary, and in fact you would expect it to be as different for every nation as the national characters are themselves.
Whereas for fascists, the exact reverse is true. For them the state is prime. The nation, insofar as it exists, is simply a tool for the state. As Noyer said, a social construct.
sure the state is prime, but what does the state do? what is the stated goal of that state. for natsocs it's simple, preserve the nation, for communists it's the worker's (officially at least), and so on, what does fascism have?
But I think the larger point is neither National Socialism or Communism is *necessarily* totalitarian. Either one could be anything from Anarchic to Totalitarian.
isn't the whole point of communism that it adds an overarching party to help coordinate all the syndicates, while syndicalism was all about having worker's own the factories (or capital as they now call it)
... how did people buy into that?????? how??? how are people still buying into that????????? who takes care of that property? the people don't own it, so why should they care for it?
i just automatically assumed that communism would have state control inscribed into it, because that is the only way i even saw a remote chance of working, but a mess like that??? did he want everyone to go back to the cave age?
> did he want everyone to go back to the cave age?
Lol. No. He literally envisioned Star Trek, but without Star Trek technology. Basically said all of everyone's needs would be met because businesses had gotten so good producing.
literal braindead idiots, i can't believe that intelligent people are falling for this shit, i could understand it, if it was the uneducated serf, thinking that he could finally stop farming every day, but this is just so dumb
> A socialist economy would not base production on the creation of private profits, but on the criteria of satisfying human needs—that is, production would be carried out directly for use.
🤣 🤣 🤣
