Fascists always seem to have good uniforms - Blackshirts in Italy, Brownshirts in Germany and Silvershirts here in the USA. Saddam even hired a fashion designer to his army's uniforms...

Actually the commies tried to come up with snappy uniforms, but they only issued their troops one greatcoat - so the poor guys had to cut off and replace the shiny brass dress uniform buttons with plastic field buttons when they went into the field and replace them when they went back into garrison... Still, they had great hats!

The snappy uniforms etc. disguise the fact that there's not much to the philosophical under-pinnings or that the politics are in opposition to human nature, basic morality etc. It's theater. Performance art.

I remember years ago when David Bowie was caught with a bunch of Nazi uniforms and other crap in his country house. It was a big scandal, but made perfect sense. He was drawn to the theatrical element of the stuff.
