I think the current bump in fascism in the last 20 years is a direct reaction to the rise of leftwing identity politics which encompasses communism

Sun Yat Sen was a socialist, but Chiang was a fascist

the purging of the left-wing of KMT which led to 10,000 deaths kind of was a turning point

Don't forget

Romania

Hungary

yeah

>Chiang was

Since I'm uneducated on Kuomintang I won't talk about Chiang

>Falange was, and he utilised this

The Falanage were, but Franco was not, also I'd like to know why you say he utilised it, why do you not think he was a Fascist

Austria

Portugal

Brazil

Greece

and I left out Italy and Germany because they were fascist

@Spookaswa list every single country with a socialist and nationalist party, wp

uh

Right now?

no...

you're literally just listing countries

CHINA

Niger

Austria, Romania and Hungary all had fascist governments

and in ALL CASES

anti-Marxist ones

it always goes like this, almost without a fail

which ones!? @Xinyue

the Iron Guard, the Austrofascists and the Arrow Cross Party

like

they weren't a part of the government though!?

these were all anticommunists

the Iron Guard never became the government

and yes Fascism is anti-communist

it always existed in direct reaction to the working class' class war

because this, they contended, threatened "Muh culture"

"muh superstructure"

but... like i said earlier when you said i was a communist, it's nearly always based on the fact that Marx himself ignored pretty much everythign spiritual and like you made it obvious, there is a lack of importance of culture

uh, no, Marx and Engels didn't ignore "all things spiritual" they had a very interesting way of viewing the universe called dialectical materialism

and most people who call themselves nationalist do it from a point of caring about their people's culture and feeling a sense of kinship, Communism (since it ignores this) makes it seem like Commies are the enemy of these things

the bulk of their theory focused on *historical materialism* but this isn't the same as dialectical materialism

and even with Fascism being a young ideology with little intellectual substance

it still achieved massive success, you can't view everything as being economic
