In my working class environment, 90% of the people I'm in contact with are all in on fascism, whether they know what it is or not. Months before the election, I confronted people about Donald Trump's near perfect fascist rhetoric. Some of these people were college educated; some with a Master's Degree. Not a single person I spoke with could give a definition of fascism, other than to repeat right-wing media talking points, the most prevalent being that "Democrats are fascists, socialists, and communists", but still couldn't define the differences in the ideologies. Everyone I know in our 3 block neighborhood, neighbors and friends, voted for DT. I don't see a way out at this point. Sadly, we have arrived here because of 40+ years of right-wing media propaganda and a Democratic Party who decided in the 1980s to join the Republicans in neoconservativism and neoliberalism rather than to resist.
Isn’t fascism usually when a singular race, religion, and social class imposes its own will upon a majority who are not of that description? There’s use of a common enemy as a scapegoat while siding with other well known dictators and oppose alliances with those that try to establish diplomatic peace ties. An insulated economy and nation isolates others from globalizing peace treaties or balanced trade practices. They take away freedoms such as speech, the press, and expression in addition to peaceful assembly and petition to redressing grievances. Sometimes, fascists will utilize police and military against its own citizens if media oriented propaganda fails to religiously convert those not in power. They try to hold onto that power through a party of loyalists in the branches of legislature and judiciary courts to propose and enforce laws using executive authority. That is, they remove bureaucratic safeguards to remove regulation and remove reform of social programs and services.
@@christopherkuhl1537exactly. you said social class. this is essentially fascism w the billionaires ruling and the working class submitting to the rule.
I just stumbled upon this video, this is an excellent breakdown of the threat we are currently facing. We can’t underestimate fascism and its influence.
The problem is he’s out of touch and mostly fighting a straw man. The real threats of fascism come from intellectuals who are not Q believers or anti-science. If only it were that easy. The danger of his message, however well intentioned, is it leaves people totally unprepared to engage with the actual threat. Worse, the idea that we use BLM and lgbt activism is dangerously wrong. It’s precisely those movements that are causing a reaction: aka the right of the reactionary right. Alienating white men who disproportionately hold power is a guaranteed way to lose.
Okay, watching this in november 2023. The world is worse than before, I think it's one of the worst times humanity has ever gone through. Did you ever imagine there could be something worse than Second World War II? Watching it unfold on our phones while no onw does anything.
WWII was much worse than anything happening now. This is not one of the worst times humanity has gone through. Just the fact that China has raised hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty far overshadows the troubles we have today. There is no war between the great powers. Nothing in our time is remotely comparable to the Holocaust or the millions of people killed in WWII. There are no dictators as aggressive and murderous as Hitler, and none as murderous as Stalin.
For the US, we need to look at our economy in 1967, when the minimum wage was highest after adjustment for inflation, and the salary gap between workers and leaders was the smallest. Also, getting voters to see that corporations are buying the government candidates they want, both Democrats and Republicans, and lying about politicians not for sale like Sanders and AOC that they label extreme tax and spend liberals. Also, look at the policies over 50 percent of voters support such as negotiating lower prescription drug prices, that Democrats cannot pass even with their majority in the House, Senate, and with a Democrat as President.
Joe “nothing will fundamentally change” Biden never had any intention to pass anything. Manchin is his convenient excuse to serve corporate donors. The poison is the corporate media who have a stranglehold on older voters.
Democrats don't have a majority in the Senate. Manchin and Sinema are DINOs! Look back to all the things that were about to be passed and these facist degenerates BLOCKED them. We need to get at least 50 REAL democrats in order to start making change. Even then, we will still be at war with corporate shills like Pelosi The Putrid.

The Lennin's and Stalin's revolution was quite like that. They took asvantage of the political situation caused by the Russian workers revolution to instablish a regime of terror
They did not start out with a project of establishing a regime of terror. They seized power in a relatively bloodless coup, and then ran into violent opposition not only from within Russia, but from the British, the Americans and others who even sent troops to Russia to stop Communism. The choice the Bolsheviks had to make was: do we step aside because the people we have been fighting all these years don't want us to hold power and liberate the working class and the peasants? Or do we do what is necessary to hold on to power, including the use of massive violence? Do we surrender to the Whites and let them bring back the Tsar? Or do we defeat them and build socialism? Do we use violence only up to a point, and then hand over power to our enemies, or do we use all the violence that we believe is necessary to defeat our enemies? The Bolsheviks chose to do their best to hold on to power, believing that they could liberate the people and build a socialist Russia if they won. They did win. But their decision to use violence, even extreme violence, had a terrible effect on them and on Russia, and turned them into tyrants who were obsessed with the possibility that their enemies would try again to overthrow them and make it impossible to bring socialism to the Russian people. None of this excuses the atrocities the Bolsheviks committed, nor does it mean they were nice guys caught between a rock and hard place. They could have done things differently. But if they did, would they have won?

Fascism only serves itself not the nation or the people, it is a system of state and leader supremacy, think like a religious version of socialism, if socialism means the government control of the means of production then fascism means, that the rule of the state is the law or what the government says is the law, Keep in mind that at the end of the day capitalism, fascism, socialism, communism, are all just words by which a autocratic system is build on and in democracy were oligarchy rises one can unite them in their pursuit f power and dominacy,

This is such a simplistic content to address fascism, it only explores fascism in context of far right, in traditional way, which is based on a old text book, currently we are experiencing fascism from all sides , not only from top to bottom, but also bottom to top, it is ignorant to overlook how individuals independent from political parties or ideologies have began to form their own fascist ideologies and indoctrinating masses globally with through internet. Currently we are witnessing something way more hybrid and complex than the traditional fascism which was usually associated with far right, it comes from all parts of political spectrum.

Great video with well made points. As you said, discussions need to be had about particulars, but Fascism needs to be stopped at every pathway. I'm proud to be completely against any fascist movements and views. I'm inspired to see that so many others are as well
He actually credits them as being the 1st form of modern Facism. Its not freedom and it is evil. It leads to mass murders , violence deemed acceptable for the state.

Paul you are the person who first introduced me to the concept of Neoliberalism, which started me off on a journey to become a socialist and later an anti-fascist. Thanks for that.

I don't understand why Fascism is described as "Far Right"? That's simply untrue. Who is the philosopher of fascism? That would be Giovanni Gentile. Born in 1875, he was one of the world’s most influential philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century. Gentile believed that there were two “diametrically opposed” types of democracy. One is liberal democracy, such as that of the United States, which Gentile dismisses as individualistic-too centered on liberty and personal rights-and therefore selfish. The other, the one Gentile recommends, is “true democracy,” in which individuals willingly subordinate themselves to the state. Like his philosophical mentor, Karl Marx, Gentile wanted to create a community that resembles the family, a community where we are “all in this together.” It’s easy to see the attraction of this idea. Indeed, it remains a common rhetorical theme of the left. Now, remember, Gentile was a man of the left. He was a committed socialist. For Gentile, fascism is a form of socialism-indeed, its most workable form. While the socialism of Marx mobilizes people on the basis of class, fascism mobilizes people by appealing to their national identity as well as their class. Fascists are socialists with a national identity. German Fascists in the 1930s were called Nazis- basically a contraction of the term “national socialist.” For Gentile, all private action should be oriented to serve society; there is no distinction between the private interest and the public interest. Correctly understood, the two are identical. And who is the administrative arm of the society? It’s none other than the state. Consequently, to submit to society is to submit to the state-not just in economic matters, but in all matters. Since everything is political, the state gets to tell everyone how to think and what to do. It was another Italian, Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943, who turned Gentile’s words into action. In his Dottrina del Fascismo, one of the doctrinal statements of early fascism, Mussolini wrote, “All is in the state and nothing human exists or has value outside the state.” He was merely paraphrasing Gentile. The Italian philosopher is now lost in obscurity, but his philosophy could not be more relevant because it closely parallels that of the modern left. Gentile’s work speaks directly to progressives who champion the centralized state. Here in America, the left has vastly expanded state control over the private sector, from healthcare to banking; from education to energy. This state-directed capitalism is precisely what German and Italian fascists implemented in the 1930s.
Probably because fascists are largely opposed to liberalism, socialism, Marxism, feminism (they believe in traditional gender roles), nontraditional sexuality, most forms of progressivism, and believe in hierarchy, might make right mentality, in group and out group mentality, and other right wing positions. Do you think it’s a coincidence that fascist groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis generally vote for republicans like trump? Also I haven’t met a leftist (being one myself) who believe that “all is in the state and nothing human exist or has value outside the state”.
There's no left in America. There are the liberals that are moderates or sit at the center and then you have the right, and then far right. There is no left. 🙄

The Bolsheviks chose to do their best to hold on to power, believing that they could liberate the people and build a socialist Russia if they won.
They did win. But their decision to use violence, even extreme violence, had a terrible effect on them and on Russia, and turned them into tyrants who were obsessed with the possibility that their enemies would try again to overthrow them and make it impossible to bring socialism to the Russian people.
None of this excuses the atrocities the Bolsheviks committed, nor does it mean they were nice guys caught between a rock and hard place. They could have done things differently. But if they did, would they have won?

I’m definitely buying this book and telling everyone I know about this. I’ve been breaking my brain trying to understand what Trump supporters are “thinking “ if that’s the word, and here is the understanding we need.
Trump took no money from big businesses. All small donations

So sad but true, I used to like what Mason had to say and now feel totally duped, its a f***ed up world
Exactly. A true traitor of humanity. Justice is coming though.

What about a failing economy? Fascism arises where traditional elites fail to deliver the goods.
Fuck the economy....humans matter more than money.
Wrong! Corporate fascist asshats manipulate the economy to begin with
@@OneAdam12Adam Manipulate the economy, yes. But if it is in service to the state how is that bad?
We could also say anomie also causes it. We see that people lose sense of direction (especially males) because society is changing too quickly for them to cope/adapt. We see that in the US today and just prior to Nazi rise pre-WWII.

We need to share this video with the Democrats and Progressives.
I'm not sure what you mean by this.
I feel like a lot of democrats and progressives (with some exceptions) already recognize a lot of what this video expresses.
Right?
Facism is rising through the right wing conservative parties through ultra-nationalism and corporatism
While I agree the Democratic Party has enabled the fascists they aren’t themselves; that’s the modern Republican Party.
Some people still don’t get it. The left and the centre are the solution - the populist right is the threat. Anyone who thinks that people like trump or Boris are the answer have been brainwashed. Not those opposing them!
@@youytubey yeah in kiev ukraine 🤣
Paul Mason gives a clear and concise of the threat we face from fascism and more importantly, suggests solutions. Brilliant video.
"tuttu nello stato" was the slogan/definition of fascism by its founders, the socialists Mussolini & gentile. "Everything within the state; nothing outside the state". The social welfare - regulatory states of Europe are Mussolini's definition of fascism. Mussolini said said that he recognized US President Franklin Roosevelt as a fellow fascist
This guy is great. Knows his stuff, and the fascists are afraid of this information getting out
Lol. Yeah real secret stuff. The 6 million, they hated them for no reason, the cable street myth etc.
He’s just an old, crusty Marxist.
He is selling a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Mason is an authoritarian who uses fears of fascism to enact his authoritarianism. He poses as a socialist, but in reality he's a treacherous liar who stabs friends in the back. He's a fake.

Fascism only serves itself not the nation or the people, it is a system of state and leader supremacy, think like a religious version of socialism, if socialism means the government control of the means of production then fascism means, that the rule of the state is the law or what the government says is the law,
Keep in mind that at the end of the day capitalism, fascism, socialism, communism, are all just words by which a autocratic system is build on and in democracy were oligarchy rises one can unite them in their pursuit f power and dominacy,

Where are the comments. Not loading
What’s your background?
This is such a simplistic content to address fascism, it only explores fascism in context of far right, in traditional way, which is based on a old text book, currently we are experiencing fascism from all sides , not only from top to bottom, but also bottom to top, it is ignorant to overlook how individuals independent from political parties or ideologies have began to form their own fascist ideologies and indoctrinating masses globally with through internet. Currently we are witnessing something way more hybrid and complex than the traditional fascism which was usually associated with far right, it comes from all parts of political spectrum.
We should rather discuss ways to stop stooges like Paul Mason.
I still REALLY dislike fascism. Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if he includes the Soviet regime in his denouncement of 'facism'?
Fascism is Fascism - Geography is irrelevant. Maybe you should watch the video instead of "wondering"?
He actually credits them as being the 1st form of modern Facism. Its not freedom and it is evil. It leads to mass murders , violence deemed acceptable for the state. It reminds me of " america first" and they call themselves "Patritots" as they incite sedition to overthrow democracy. No more public hate rallies and uniformed parades. And proud antifacism is required.
How was Soviet facism? They were communist-striving
The soviets weren’t fascist, they were a dictatorship. You’ll need to think about how you define things before watering down language like this.

Paul you are the person who first introduced me to the concept of Neoliberalism, which started me off on a journey to become a socialist and later an anti-fascist. Thanks for that. However, I think you are mistaken to suggest that the UK left does not have a tangible, concrete alternative. I think you know this. Liberals put up barriers at every opportunity to prevent a Corbyn government. They're literally one of the greatest obstacles to progress.

And by your rethoric you only say that your way is best, and all should be equal etc, but in real life those who rule in a left government are still the richest and get most benifits.. so this is kind of crap.

I think this video should hsve started by explaining what fascism actually is. I fear people might think it is the same as far right.
The time for defining fascism and arguing over whether what we face is fascism is long past. Mason is talking about what we do to stop fascism, not spending a lot of time on defining it.
@@LeeZaslofsky : You cannot stop something you do not understand though. If people cannot define Fascism, they cannot stop is since they cannot even recognize it in the first place.

Who is the philosopher of fascism? That would be Giovanni Gentile. Born in 1875, he was one of the world’s most influential philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century. Gentile believed that there were two “diametrically opposed” types of democracy. One is liberal democracy, such as that of the United States, which Gentile dismisses as individualistic-too centered on liberty and personal rights-and therefore selfish. The other, the one Gentile recommends, is “true democracy,” in which individuals willingly subordinate themselves to the state.
Like his philosophical mentor, Karl Marx, Gentile wanted to create a community that resembles the family, a community where we are “all in this together.” It’s easy to see the attraction of this idea. Indeed, it remains a common rhetorical theme of the left.
Now, remember, Gentile was a man of the left. He was a committed socialist. For Gentile, fascism is a form of socialism-indeed, its most workable form. While the socialism of Marx mobilizes people on the basis of class, fascism mobilizes people by appealing to their national identity as well as their class. Fascists are socialists with a national identity. German Fascists in the 1930s were called Nazis- basically a contraction of the term “national socialist.”
For Gentile, all private action should be oriented to serve society; there is no distinction between the private interest and the public interest. Correctly understood, the two are identical. And who is the administrative arm of the society? It’s none other than the state. Consequently, to submit to society is to submit to the state-not just in economic matters, but in all matters. Since everything is political, the state gets to tell everyone how to think and what to do.
It was another Italian, Benito Mussolini, the fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943, who turned Gentile’s words into action. In his Dottrina del Fascismo, one of the doctrinal statements of early fascism, Mussolini wrote, “All is in the state and nothing human exists or has value outside the state.” He was merely paraphrasing Gentile.
The Italian philosopher is now lost in obscurity, but his philosophy could not be more relevant because it closely parallels that of the modern left. Gentile’s work speaks directly to progressives who champion the centralized state. Here in America, the left has vastly expanded state control over the private sector, from healthcare to banking; from education to energy. This state-directed capitalism is precisely what German and Italian fascists implemented in the 1930s.
It's gaslighting - ascribing to the opposition what they themselves are doing. Just look at the recent revelations about this man.
Thank God someone understands. Thank you.

Probably because fascists are largely opposed to liberalism, socialism, Marxism, feminism (they believe in traditional gender roles), nontraditional sexuality, most forms of progressivism, and believe in hierarchy, might make right mentality, in group and out group mentality, and other right wing positions.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that fascist groups like the KKK and Neo Nazis generally vote for republicans like trump?
Also I haven’t met a leftist (being one myself) who believe that “all is in the state and nothing human exist or has value outside the state”.
There's no left in America. There are the liberals that are moderates or sit at the center and then you have the right, and then far right. There is no left. 🙄
