>Swastika is a catholic symbol

"The Führer is deeply religious, though completely anti-Christian. He views Christianity as a
symptom of decay. Rightly so. It is a branch of the Jewish race. This can be seen in the similarity
of their religious rites. Both (Judaism and Christianity) have no point of contact to the animal
element, and thus, in the end they will be destroyed. The Führer is a convinced vegetarian on principle."

-Joseph Goebbels, The Goebbels Diaries 1939–41; Hamish Hamilton Ltd; London; 1982; ISBN

Look even his propaganda minister says it

``` "You see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?"```
- Adolf Hitler

“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?"

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
