Please dear Moderator, this isn't like my other political threads. I feel it an important and appropriate topic and must speak from the heart. I don't see this as proselytizing but rather sharing my views on a passionate topic and asking for a second opinion.
Fascism is alive and well in our current world and arguably has more power now than in the past, with Russia, America, Japan, and other nations embracing it under a different name and different face.
The parades, the nifty uniforms, despising political correctness, the self-discipline, the spirituality, patriotism, charismatic leadership, and the intense love, zeal, and fervor for one's nation (and faith of one's fathers), is not a bad thing intrinsically, right? I'm all about that and the propaganda too, but in no way do I think it is okay to physically aggress on people based upon their ethnicity or Religion, and in no way do I approve of wars of aggression. So, am I still a Fascist?
Yes, still a Fascist, just love leftists, because when I meet a radical liberal, I say to myself " I'm a perv, a criminal, an addict, and have too many faults to consider myself better than a liberal" or better than someone of another ethnicity. I think Ethnic Nationalism is gross as well! Yet am fanatic about a state essentially becoming the government of God and controlled by the kingdom of Heaven, and that was the goal of Fascism as written in the "Doctrine of Fascism".
Christ had to be humiliated and fail before he could succeed and conquer the Roman Empire, where Fascism flourished. The blood of the martyrs was also "the seed of Christendom". That is how Fascism succeeds and spreads. You win by first losing. There is no glorious resurrection without a brutal crucifixion. Fascism keeps Resurrecting and now has control of Mother Russia, it's previously greatest nemesis. It is in Japan, Russia, returning to Europe, and found in America under a different name. Right wing government arguably has more power in our world now than ever before.
Mussolini worked with the Pope, obeyed the Pope, and was the voice of the Pope, always echoing the Pope on faith and morals. Fascism was originally the government of the Roman Catholic Church in Europe and predated Mussolini, but Mussolini wrote the Doctrine of this ancient government, defending it from the frequent attacks of secular Marxism spreading from the Soviet Union. Japan has always been Fascist and their Emperor was basically hoping to Pope Asia as well. Fascism is deeply spiritual/religious, and so I love that as well as it's defense of a nations values, culture, dynasty, and traditions, with intense hysteric patriotism and sacrifice from her people. Fascism has many forms that are not racist or antisemetic and Mussolini had Jews on his original fascist party. There were Fascists who helped rescue Jews from Hitler as well.
Yet I despise the violence that became of Fascism and wonder why such patriotism must turn into violent wars of aggression. One of my theories is that fear of Communism fueled the violence from the far-right, for a scared animal is the most dangerous, and people were terrified of rapidly spreading communism, which killed more people than any other form of government.
This is a second topic and question I'd like to ask. War was declared on Hitler for invading Poland. The Soviets invaded Poland at the same time and had an alliance with Hitler. We had just as much reason to declare war on the Soviets. What would we think if America was an ally of an Adolf Hitler? We'd be ashamed! Yet America gets to be allied with the Soviet Union who was worse and guilty of more crimes against humanity. Why the double standard? Our education system isn't fair.
