I wonder what would have happened had Hitler gotten shot by that British soldier in WW1, and instead the Red Baron survives and eventually takes Hitler's place

🤔

He wouldn't be same ideologically ofc

🤔

you know

if Hitler had never existed,

this could've made DAP much less of a factor in German politics

Yeah

which, tbh, would've handed much ground to the KPD

I wonder if the DNVP would become more Fascist esque had Hitler not existed

They were already reactionary

well, I mean, Hitler did drive DAP into much more Fascistic direction compared to the Strasser brothers or the left-wing of DAP. I think the major difference between Italian Fascism and German Fascism is the race component

My nickname is superior

Mhm

Racism wasn't really in Fascist Italy until Mussolini cracked under Hitler's pressure

Well, there were no racial laws

yeah it wasn't part of the original platform

and I think that Mussolini *only* did it because of said pressure

I don't think it coincides with his character

Mhm

Mussolini originally disliked and didn't trust Hitler

the Roman Empire which Fascist Party tried to recreate was multiethnic to begin with, so the race component was nonsensical to the rejuvenation project of the Italian Fascist

mhm

Fascism would've been much better without Hitler

What can be said of it is that it would've survived, I think, much longer than it did historically

Eh

Hitler's meltdown with Soviets ensured that it would be destroyed not long after the war began

Probably

There were already fascist movements in pretty much every Western country by the mid 1930s

only a few got any real political power though

Jose antonio was murdered smh

There are a few lesser known fascist, or fascist-esque states, like Portugal and Brazil, under Salazar and Vargas

Fuck franco

It was a growing movement, yes, but I think that it never had that global appeal of communism though it wanted to partake in that appeal. For example in Finland, a fascist movement did exist but it was btfo'd pretty hard by the general public and government.

Yeah

Austrofascism was one of the more serious lesser tendencies I think

RIP Lapua movement

@Xinyue are you the guy on twitter that has the same pfp as what you have on here

Its funny, Finland is always lifted up on this right-wing pedestal but the whole country throughout its history was very consistently left-wing

Mhm

yes, I believe that you and I had an encounter @Stern didn't we?
