“Hitler wished that the Ottoman Empire had conquered Vienna in 1683: "The Mohammedan religion
would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity
with its meekness and flabbiness?"

-Albert Speer (1 April 1997). Inside the Third Reich: memoirs. Simon and Schuster. pp. 96

Well the third bit

Other two are also interesting

Gentile, Mussolini, Hitler all hated christianity although Mussolini utilized the church for political gain

Hitler did too to an extent

Mussolini was anti Christian too?

he utilized the vatican for political gain but yeah

Until he tried to gain favour with the pope

I never paid much attention to him because Hitler overshadows him so much

most of the Italian fascists hated christianity especially Marinetti

@Doktor Goon yeah that was cause of how connected italian society was with the vatican

Well it's not like mussolini is terribly interesting

he would of been an idiot not to

I mean he started the fascist movement so I felt I should read up on him somewhat

His son is a prominent jazz musician

<:mussolini:415920205139673109> mussolini da man

@Flash read up on Gentile rather than Mussolini then

Gentile really started the fascist movement and gave a philosophical basis for it

He helped write a lot of Mussolini’s stuff right?

he ghost wrote part of one his books yes

but he wrote a lot of his own material

Origins and Doctrines of Fascism was written by him and is IMO the best introduction to fascist thought

The first fascist book I read was the political and social doctrine of fascism by Mussolini

But I’ll try and check out that

if you are interested in learning about the philosophical base of it then i'd recommend The Theory of Mind as Pure Act also by Gentile

@EseWoods welcome

Welcome

Shalom

I have a decent set of fascist books I’m still working through, same with communists

Marx is incredibly important. I encourage every fascist to try get through Das Kapital

I haven’t had time to even consider Das Kapital but I’ve read the communist manifesto

Also I’m not fascist

yeah i know

the manifesto is alright, introduces you to a few concepts but its really just a propaganda pamphlet

I found it funny how Marx accuses capitalism of “downing the ecstasies of religious fervor” in the manifesto and then turns around later and calls religion the opium of the people

I'd say those two statements don't contridict each other

He set himself up to be pro religion at first and then made it known he was anti religious

what

"opium of the people" isnt an anti religious quote

thats a misinterpretation
