The proclaimed end of fascism is all citizens living in an ethnically or culturally homogenous state under a totalitarian government that controls all aspects of their lives. These citizens could still live as they always had so long as they were part of the ethnic and/or cultural majority.
Fascism was developed after WWI. The socialists had hoped that after decades of communist and socialist agitation, that when the Great Powers decided to go to war the workers would unite, revolt and refuse to fight.
However, the workers did not unite. Instead they all became rabid patriots for their respective nations. Fascism was a way to unite socialism with ethnic and national affinities.
Nazism was a one-off. For some weird reason they thought they could conquer the world with a German-oriented ideology. There was nothing in it for the Slavs, Jews, or other Eastern Europeans. Franco's Spain made more sense as a fascist state as they remained in Spain with no global ambitions.
Communism is tied to a universal, materialistic, amoral idea of humans as cogs in a nihilistic world. Fascism is tied to a "blood and soil" respect for the ethnic/cultural basis of the society in which it is planted. However, they disrespect the individual by imposing their demands in a totalitarian fashion. Italy failed, in part, because Mussolini was trying to tie Italy to its Roman past rather than taking account of its Catholic nature.
This distinction holds today as most neo-Marxists are internationalists while most neo-Fascists are nationalists.
That’s fine. We can make communism the theoretical end of the end. Theoretical, because you can never get there. THe moment the guns from socialism are removed, people start acting as capitalists.
That makes fascism the real end of the left side of the political spectrum. The ideas of Socialism, fascism and communism were all developed from the Austrian school of economics. Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, the co-creators of fascism, both called fascism the perfect socialism. You think they were ignorant of their own creation?
Nazism was a distilled from, from an allegiance from one’s country to one’s heritage. Hitler was what is known as a traditionalist. A traditionalist is a person who believes that there was a time in the past when his society was at its best. He wanted to bring back Aryanism, because he thought that Germany was at its best when it was pagan and before Christianity. Nazism really wasn’t racial, as there were Nazis that were of all races and ethics. I could show you pictures of German blacks that were proud Nazis. Hitler wanted the pagan philosophy of Aryanism. He hated Judaism and he hated Christianity.
There is a quote I read just this week to illustrate how much Hitler had hated both faiths. It was his wish that Islam had beaten Europe so that it could have killed off the Jews hundreds of years ago.
Everything else is dross. Hitler was not a nationalist. It was his plan that, once he consolidated his win over Europe, he was going to start a war against the United States with the intent of returning America back over to the natives. Does a nationalist start another world war, with the intent of conquering a country overseas? He is only accused of being a nationalist by the internationalist left.
Nationalism is supposedly bad, but globalism is the anti-dote to nationalist. Does that sound familiar to you from the left today?
Hitler only nationalized the Unions in order to bring them under control of him, because they were asking for past payment due from having worked for many years for free to bring Germany out of its depression. The same with Big Business, he was planning on nationalizing private enterprise when he was able.
Whether Franco's Spain really was fascist has been much discussed.
