One thing to note is that fascism and nazism are not identical. Nazism uses the basis of fascism to promote its goals of racial hierarchy while fascism has more aspects in terms of economy, legislative and judicial politics, and other social sciences. Put it like this. All fruits are a form of vegetable, but not every vegetable is classified as a fruit. Nazism is a form of fascism but not all fascists are nazis.
Wrong. Nazi sm was National Socia lism. It had nothing to do with fasc ism. Naz ism and fa scism were two completely separate socia list ideologies which were practiced in two different countries.
@@Historia-Magistra-Vitae. Yes. They are two different things. The biggest difference is that Nazism is a social ideology and Fascism in a political ideology.
Fascism doesn’t necessarily need to be right wing. It’s economically neutral, neither needing to be socialist or capitalist. (It does tend to be right wing though)
But its not neutral every fascist country brutalized socialist, liberals and communist and the fact that capitalist and even democracies such as the west were willing to support a fascist/nationalist dictator over a socialist country. Lastly fascism are always start as an anti-socialist movements.
That is the beauty of fascism, and why it always rears it's ugly head in times of economic uncertainty and social change, inflation caused by the bungling and greed of the ruling classes, not many actually understand it properly so until people do it will never go away like racism and poverty.
To be fair, the definition of Fascism is far more complex than most realize. Today, people will basically define Fascism to fit whatever political agenda they identify with. Hence, Identity politics. Usually comes from the left these days.
So you don’t think book banning, targeting of minorities or those deemed “lesser”, or the outright removal of opposing political representatives from their duly & justly elected positions are characteristics of fascism? Crazy

Only far righters are calling "whatever they don't agree with" as fascist in response to people correctly identifying the fascist as a fascist. They don't really believe it but it's their defense to being labeled correctly.
Fascism doesn't necessarily have to do with race. Nazism (which is what people are usually referring to) is the only "fascist" (if you are going to call it that) ideology that is extremely racist. Fascism was about nationalist "spirituality." Calling it far right is oversimplified imo, it is rooted in what was deemed left wing politics at the time and was basically just a schism of socialism. State control of all life is what you call extreme public over private (inb4 privatization myth)
Mexican synarcism, Brazilian integralism, Spanish falangism, Italian fascism etc etc etc weren't about race. Germany was, but so too were the national bolsheviks of Karl Otto Paetel and Ernst Niekisch, it was just normal in Germany at the time
@n45-chan "I agree with you entirely. I don't believe a bit in the stupid anti-Semitic theory. I am carrying out my policy entirely for political reasons." -Mussolini responding to Fascist scholar complaining about the racial laws Jews founded the original fascist party (Fascio d'Azione Rivoluzionaria), and there were 10,000 jews in the fascist party. No one was killed because of the racist policies, and Italian fascists protected jews and had shootouts with the SS.
@n45-chan Italy had colonies since before fascism yet "interracial" marriage wasn't outlawed until 1937 (In Ethiopia, but there still wasn't segregation (Look up Abba Jofir), and the relationships were banned due to security purposes). True racial segregation against jews and the natives in the colonies was only implemented 1938 and beyond to make the Germans happy, YET they still complained about fascism not being racist enough. "Fascism and National Socialism are two fundamentally different things. There is absolutely no comparison between Fascism and National Socialism as spiritual, ideological movements." -Heinrich Himmler (this is from 1943 to 1945) “The Italians are extremely lax in their treatment of Jews. They protect Italian Jews both in Tunis and in occupied France and won’t permit their being drafted for work or compelled to wear the Star of David." -Joseph Goebbels 1943
@dapweb9373 Nazism is just one form of fascism, racism is an inherent quality of Nazism it being all about the "Master Race" while other forms of fascism are more just about the superiority of one nation over the other. Though they are all equally terrible.
@@soysauceboy2023 I’m willing to agree, but Mussolini’s fascism and Hitler’s Nazism were so different they might as well be completely different ideologies/philosophy
@@dapweb9373were they really? Both essentially said that everything is second to the strength of the group, its just that Mussolini wanted to unite Italians (nationality) and Hitler wanted to unite the Germans (race).
Nazi ideology is the German version of fascism. Which has been corporate (aka 1%) domination of the state to Prevent Socialism from succeeding, from either ballot box or revolution.
@@enkercodm9506 The Nazi Party was unambiguously focused on Race, as in the Aryan Race. Fascism does not contain this element. Fascism is focused on the Nation, as in the Itslian Nation. It lacks the Idea that Italians were some kind of superman, and emphasis is placed on the glory of Italy.
@@scottjuhnke6825 u realize that, at least for hitler and the other officials, the jewish scapegoating were just a means to seize power and support. Its used to direct anger and blame away from the party while also re directing jewish wealth and german political power to benefit themselves. Yes, the nazis were Anti-Jew bigots yes, but it was just a part of a larger vision for Germanys domination of the world powers as revenge for their humiliating defeat in WW1 and the economic rescission that followed after war reparations for their defeat. WW2 WAS FUELED EQUALLY BY HATE AND A LUST FOR POWER BY ANGRY REGULAR PEOPLE and as such can happen (and is) again any wear in the world especially USA
Fascism is the government or how the nation works, like how democrats say they are democracy (but aren’t) which goes with hitler being “fascist” by was a nazi. Also they were socialists so Nazi germany was a Fascist country led by Nazis with the people being socialists
You kind of breezed over ANTIFA giving people the impression that they were against fascism, that's why you don't listen to their words you watch what they do because again there's that Motto, "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." Joseph Goebbels "When Fascism comes to America, it will come under the guise of/be called anti-Fascism!" - Attributed to Huey Long 1930’s a populist politician from the state of Louisiana.
Antifa is a stance, not an organized movement. It pops up where-ever far-right groups gain influence or notoriety. Also, there's nothing fascistic about it. They don't advocate for a dictatorial state, strong natural hierarchies, military power, racial supremacy etc. In very rare cases they use violence (against far-right protesters, whose ideology's inherent violence is a lot more dangerous), but that does not make them fascistic.
No kidding. Antifa has no centralized figurehead calling the shots but it uses fascist tactics of violence and intimidation to attempt to achieve its hardline political stance of the lessening of the individual in favour of the collective. Opposition is not tolerated.
@rusfherzts4513 "New" would mean that it wasn't there before, but what these people will ultimately reap is millions of dead people, which we've seen in every communist nation that has ever existed. Communism doesn't work outside of small communities, because no large population will always function as one entity. Regional difference make every egaletarian effort invalid and will only cause the leading party/the leader to deal with those that decide to not be a part of the ideology anymore in the quickest way as to not let them cause an uproar amongst the others. Whatever communism touches will ultimately implode on itself, leaving chaos behind. Communism *has to* merge with fascism to function. No way around it.
Your little quote is also attributed to Churchill and others yada yada. Got a reputable source or are you making that up like everyone else? Long was also a dirty fascist soooo.... just like usual the fascists point fingers to say their opponents are the real fascists. Funny how that's still going on 90 years later
The problem is that fascism is considered "right" and communism is considered "left", but both result in almost identical outcomes. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were were almost the same person, with a slightly different mustache. If you switched them as babies, history would have turned out exactly the same.
You are wrong. Both fascism and Nazism came out of the left. Before Mussolini took control of Italy, he was a socialist/communist. His only disagreement with the communist was that their revolution was moving too slow. Mussolini was the editor of Italy’s largest communist newspaper. Hitler didn’t call himself a fascist. He believed he was a socialist and by executive order, he collectivize Germany, more thoroughly than Stalin collectivize the USSR. Hitler hated and didn’t understand free market capitalism, the opposite of the way conservatives believe. During that time there were no Limited government conservatives like today’s. Fascist put government in charge of telling businesses how they must operate. When asked if Obama was a socialist, economist Dr. Thomas Sowell said no Obama like to govern the way fascist do because he like to put government in charge of telling businesses how they most operate.
This so called documentary ignores the fact that Mussolini was a socialist through and through, he may have been thrown out of the then socialist party, Mussolini was still a socialist and ruled as such. My school teacher explained to me that fascism was really the way Mussolini gained and maintained power. He used every tool of the government to his benefit including conspiring with private enterprise to his benefit. This fascism is a right wing thing is purely revising the meaning of words for partisan motives.
@@goarmysleepinthemud. Yes its hard to keep up with the constantly changing orwellian revisions the left want us to believe. Mussolini was a socialist, a fact hard to ignore.
@@goarmysleepinthemud. You remind me of idiots who say TRUE communism has never been tried. 😂 -Communism has always failed. Look at China or the Soviet union -That wasn't communism!
I'm a little confused here.. if communism is authoritarian and far left. How can fascism be authoritarian and far right, especially when the far right believes in limited government? Wouldn't anarchy, no government, be technically far right?
The idea of left and right makes it seem linear. But if you add a second dimension (democracy vs authoritarianism) you end up with four groups. Democratic Left, Democratic Right, Authoritarian Left (aka Communism) and Authoritarian Right (Fascism)
@@lperea21 The other dimensions that you're talking about are just branch offs. And if we're talking about Democratic right/ left, none of that really matters because that's a base of authoritarianism. Making it still left wing
Classical and progressive liberals use these terms, fascists themselves viewed it as a syncretic third position against liberal capitalist democracy and Marxist international materialism that was neither left nor right
Because fascism is NOT a right wing movement, a prime example of right wing Ideology would be liberal democracy. Communism is a Left wing movement because leftists want things like: Authority, Equality, Collectivism and Reform. Capitalism is a Right wing movement because rightists want things like: Liberty, Inequality, Self Reliability, and Tradition. Fascism is a Third positionist movement which is brought up by fascists to say that they are not right or left, which is true. Third positionists combine the left and right but are not centrists because of strictly sided goals. Third positionists, like the Left, want Authority and Collectivism, but like the Right, they want Inequality and Tradition. Examples of Third positionist Ideologies include: Nationalism, Fascism, Nazism, Eco-Fascism, Ultra-Nationalism, Militarist Statism, National Syndicalism, and National Bolshevism.
While I undertand you were just providing examples, Francisco Franco was not fascist. During his dictatorship, he balanced power between four main groups in order to stay on top. One of those was the 'falange', which was fascist and actually left-wing by many standards (national sindicates, state-controlled economy, etc...). He gave the falange power for the first few years of the dictatorship, but with time he took it away as it became clear their movement had lost strength after WWII. One consequence of this was that in the 1950s, thanks to a government of technocrats, Spain slowly became an open market economy and had an economic boom. Of the 40 years that Franco's dictatorship lasted, less than half were 'fascist'. (Note I am not defending the dictatorship in anyway, just providing facts). Another interesting fact is that the party in Spain that nowadays calls themselves 'anti-fascists' and tries to look as dissimilar from the dictatorship as possible, has in reality the closests ideals to fascism. Guess that what this is to say is: Never trust labels, they will almost always be misleading
@Popular-Front Interesting. I guess left and right are just labels after all, and they can't really let you grasp the full picture. When talking about fascism I usually refer to the Verona manifesto, since it's the original version of fascism, but it is true that in places like Spain it was a bit different. Thanks for taking the time to write that insightful comment, it's definitely an interesting area of history and politics and worth examining.
Spanish falangism was interesting, the 2 main ideologists José Antonio Primo de Rivera and Ramiro Ledesma Ramos had very different ideas. José Antonio wanting an agrarian syndicalist Spain, where as Ramiro Ledesma looked to emulate Stalin with mass industrialisation and central planning
The problem with the comments you made, and I am in no way saying you are wrong, is that by dividing these groups up into smaller groups with different names you are actually helping to spread confusion. Most people today don't even know how to define basic terms like communism or distinguish it from socialism or fascism. But that doesn't seem to stop them from using these names when they are sent off to argue with anyone who will listen. If you haven't noticed there is a war of words and ideas going around. "Scholarly" articles of how we "don't live in a democracy we live in a republic" or "the Nazis were socialist, it says it in the official party name" have become rally cries for "left is bad and right is good". I know that is not what you are saying, but remember to keep this in mind when you are commenting or answering questions. All they really want to hear is "far right is not fascist, because fascist is bad".
@@lperea21 So you're saying that I should adapt my intellectually motivated comment for ignorants? I see what you're trying to say, but one cannot change the truth for fear of ideological interpretations. And neither left nor right are the best.
@@el_saltamontes lol, kind of. Your last sentence is key.... Making simple statements like that I think will help. Right now just saying what something is not, is enough to throw someone off. For example one argument going around en masse is "America is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic". You would be tempted to say that it is not a "true democracy," and be correct. The problem, though is that the argument has a sinister hidden agenda. They are trying to convince people that the majority is not supposed to rule, and that the minority rule was intentional. And that is not what the constitution was about. So adding that it's a democratic republic fixed the problem.
Not a right wing root though. The answer's in the question: National SOCIALISM. Hitler formed a islamo-soviet pact. So is starmer. Let the reality of that sink in.
Nazis intentionally knew to call themselves national socialists in order to appeal to the working class. In actual reality, communists were one of the Nazi's targets.
Congrats, you are living under it, while they sell you communism. In result you tend to trust your government while it takes your goods and liquidize it for the good of the top corpo nazis. Bye
@@miniaturejayhawk8702 I did watch the video and nothing I said was wrong. There are a lot of people today who claim fascism where none is found and will resort to violence for simple disagreements and claim the other person is a fascist. Not even five years ago so called anti fascists were burning cities and rioting over a Presidential election not going their way and threatening to kill the President-Elect and Vice President elect on their Inauguration Day
Populism is not fascism. Lech Wałęsa was a populist and won a Nobel Peace Prize before being elected President of Poland in 1990 after the fall of communism in that nation.
1. The rods or bundle of sticks referred to the trade unions not soldiers 2. Nazi were not fascist, the were national socialists and racists. Mussolini fascist party wasn’t racist, they had thousand of Jews as members
So based on the definition, what is the difference between fascism and Communism? Autocratic. Suppression of opposition. Suppressoin of individual rights for the common good. Central control of the economy etc etc etc.
Well that sort of depends as to what we're referring to. The USSR you see was fascist in all of its practices and used the guise of the common good, laced with some of Marx's talking points, to gain populist support. It is worth noting in this situation that men such as Stalin and Mao essentially ran their nations as authoritarian police states which heavily contrast with the Marxian ideal of a stateless, classless society.
Communism is defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society. The Marxist-Leninists (what you think of when you think communism) called themselves communist because, although they hadn't created a communist society, they claimed they would reach one through a one party state, state capitalism, and democratic centralism. (You can compare them to Revolutionary Catalonias anarcho communist methods). The MLs have bern criticized by both socialists and capitalists for essentially being fascist. I think they were too. If you wanted to split hairs, there are some differences. Materialism. The fascists "common good" was strength. They thought that life was a struggle, and the struggle was all they lived for. The MLs didnt just want people to survive, they wanted people to be prosperous, especially theough material wealth, which fascism rejected. Claims to equality. The fascists argued that they humans were fundamentally unequal, but the MLs claimed to be huilding a classless society. Class attitudes. The MLs used class conflict, the fascists were class collaborationist. The MLs abolished the probate bourgeoisie, while the fascists worked with them. Collectivism. Unity, to the MLs, was a means to an end. To fascists, it was the end. Source. The fascists tended to work with the pre existing elites, maybe even using elections, while the MLs used revolution to remake the system.
The discussion about the right or left, obscures a more essential point, being that it is authoritarian, suppressing civil rights, militaristic and using brute forces to maintain itself etc. Your description of what fascism is, is quite clear and undisputed - except for the extreme right part. Then it becomes disputable, as we know that certain fascist regimes and contemporary fascist movements do collaborate quite intensively with extreme-left forces. the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is just one of the examples. And indeed, when looking around the world, which regimes show most of the characteristics of fascism, we end up with nearly all current communist regimes. So, why not concentrate on the clear characteristics of fascism and avoid getting muddled with a claim that you can not back up with sufficient undisputed facts? The enemy for me is authoritarianism and that requires all possible energy to fight. And to what extent a given form of authoritarianism can quality as left or right, I don't care at all.
I think you really nailed it! Thanks for sharing your valuable input on this. I'm surprised that more people didn't take your approach to the video, and I wish more could see it this way.
It juuuuust so happens that these tactics are far more frequently adopted by the far right in such an amount that trying to say fascism is "nOt OnLy FaR rIgHt" is an immediate dog whistle to suggest you're an apologist for the white nationalist leaning fascism.
Rudi Nailed it ! I gave a thumbs down for the exact reason the author explained that Fascists are far Right when they are indeed Extreme left, Look at Antifa is a classic example, Ultra Far Left and controlled and paid , the left could say about the KKK but the KKK has a history and did not just POP out of NO where like Antifa and dont forget they were democrats. I see comments here and wow let's compare, shall we? MORE GOVERMENT CONTROL (LEFT) MORE SOCIAL PROGRAMS (LEFT) MORE TAXES ( LEFT) Less GOVERMENT (Right) Less Taxes ( Right ) The Left is leading up to authoritarianism and its hiding in clear sight I will be waiting to have some leftists prove this isn't the direction and Yes you might hate Trump but he got the JOB Done and No wars
That's not how fascism is defined if you read the literature of mussolini or gentile, this is a biased interpretation, plus the tone of this guys voice I'd guess he was a hardcore liberal.
"plus the tone of this guys voice I'd guess he was a hardcore liberal." This was the first video I watched from this guy and it was clear to me that he's a liberal, but then I watched other videos, and it's unbelievably clear that he's a liberal, ha ha. If it's very clear which side of the political spectrum somebody is on, then you have to take everything they say with a bag of salt. I'd give anything to find someone truly objective to explain all kinds of ideologies. Stephen Hicks is about the only person I know of who can talk about systems that he thinks are truly deplorable in a way that is very calm and measured and he does his best to steelman all the arguments. It's remarkable.
@National-Front-Of-Florida _"Gentile was correct in saying fasc ism was the negation ( opposite ) of soci alism"_ Wrong. Gentile never said fas cism is the negation of socia lism.

No, the content is not accurate as it confuses fascism with naziism. These are two distinct ideologies, and the video is intellectually lazy in combining the two together.
Hitler was a nazi. There is a big diference in the beliefes and economic doctrines . Only fascist countries were italy and maybe spain. Nazi germany was nazist. Stop confusing them just because they look similar.
There is a very clear explanation of fascism written by a person who lived during the time of it's rise. That is, "Fascism: What it is, and how to fight it" a pamphlet with a variety of articles written by Leon Trotsky in the 1930's. In his writings he shows how fascism is different than military dictatorship, and documents the errors of the Stalinists in fighting fascism. The pamphlet is freely available on the internet with a search of that title. However correct, or incorrect, the above video is, the analysis by Trotsky, made at the time of the rise of the fascists is essential reading for those who want to know how fascism happened.
While it provides interesting reading, people should take it with a grain of salt, considering the Marxists were ideological enemies of Fascists. So you will most certainly get a biased story from Trotsky.
Issues like "master race" and etc .... is already quite a separate topic, although they are associated and occur in parallel (eugenics). A fundamental aspect of fascism and other totalitarian notions is the search for a common enemy to intimidate the public, where the enemy is sought is just one variable.
Funfact, today's "developed" totalitarian states, like in Europe, use a whole spectrum of enemies, now the top enemy is Russia. So the war in Ukraine will last a long time because it pays off politically
The concept was popular in Germany at the time, the national bolsheviks of Ernst Niekisch and Karl Otto Paetel who both opposed national socialism also believed the Germans were a master race
Is it similar to how straight white men are demonized in America? They are made out to be the enemy of the general population when in fact most straight white men aren't the wealthy, ruling majority. 🇿🇦
And the unions that strong arm said corporations into submission. It truly baffles me how much people just say “fascism is authoritarianism” or “fascism is collectivism” which would then classify nearly every communist state as fascist.
It’s a misnomer by leftists that there is a correlation between fascism and capitalism. The same thing happens with the right wing when they say socialism is correlated with nazism
@@chrisgavin2794not really. A socialist tends to believe that, as long as a capitalist class exists with a large scope, a system is capitalist. And corporatism counts under that. A socialist would be wrong if they claimed that corporatism is laissez-faire capitalism.
It really doesn't matter how much corporatism exists under fascism, THE FACT IS, whatever corporatism exists under fascism is still UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COLLECTIVIST FASCIST STATE which really makes it just another form of socialism. A good example would be China, who in recent decades have allowed for a small portion of their economy to function under Capitalism, but in the end it is still the ruling Communist party (CCP) that controls all the economic outcomes and financial directives. Thus, the Chinese economy is still controlled and managed by the state and not by the businesses or private ownership. It is completely state controlled and therefore NOT a true Capitalist, free-market economy.
Interesting video however the one thing I noticed you got wrong was you said it's a far right ideology however everything you identified as being fascist reflects the far left.
I guess that’s something that’s debated among the political world. Everything I researched places it on the far right wing within the traditional left-right spectrum. I see what you’re saying though.

Much of your description is correct, but with some critical exceptions. Fascism is a far-left ideology, an outgrowth of socialism, in response to the realization that Western nations, with large, prosperous middle-classes, a revolt of the proletariat was a practical impossibility. Also, fascism is itself not racist. Nazism is, but Nazism is distinct from fascism. Today's antifa is thoroughly fascistic. Worse, it is also racist.

Mussolini was a socialist journalist who embraced nationalism rather than internationalism or Marxist socialism, when he saw how compelling nationalism was to most people During WWI. But he was not a racist and indeed had a Jewish mistress, and only adopted racist policies to placate Hitler with whom he sought an alliance. But neither racism or antisemitism fully manifested itself in fascist Italy. Hitler coming after Mussolini, was a nationalist and a socialist, thus the name National Socialism or Nazi.. It did however, Incorporate, concepts of ethnic and or racial purity, as racism and antisemitism. Although the two regimes, may appear the same to you, they felt themselves to be distinctly different from one another and never used the word fascism and nazism synonymously. However they were allies in WW2. Although much of the means of production was seized and nationalized in the two regimes, in some cases private property was merely regulated in place. thus projecting an illusion of a free market.
@z1 Fascism absolutely can be racialist, it does not have to be racialist and not all fascists are. In fact, Italian racial laws received criticism by Italian fascist politicians. I would hardly consider Germany at the time to be „fascist“.
Without looking at Mr. Eco’s 14 points I have observed that what most modern day left us clamor for amounts to Fascism for the most part. And by that I mean an economy that is pluralistic includes some of the trappings of a free market however most items are steered and driven by a central planning authority. And the scales can easily be tipped in favor of one favorite group or even politically loyal individuals. In addition any criticism of the central planned eco can be deflected by blaming it on the "Evil oil Co.'s" etc. etc. Another hallmark of fascism would be the suppression of political opposition. Again you can see this quite readily in the whole “woke" movement.

By describing fascism you basically described communism. Benito was part of the socialism party until he decided to create his own political movement over Austria's debacle. The Nazis were a form of socialism because fascism was born from a socialist ideal thanks to Benito M. Fascism has nothing to do with race, this was only specific to Nazis. Mao in China used to apply a similar doctrine which started with the Chinese cultural revolution.
Trump is more of a narcissist who echoes some fascist ideas: Ultra-nationalism, the narrative of a national rebirth of a mythologized glorious past (MAGA), protectionism, demonizing certain minorities, conspiracy theories that echo those of Nazi-Germany. He also kicked off the christo-fascist tendencies of in the Republican party that we see happening now.

It is, after all, nothing like National Socialism. While the latter goes down to the roots, Fascism is only a superficial thing. That is regrettable, but one must recognize it clearly. National Socialism is really a way of life." -Dr. Joseph Goebbels, The Goebbels Diaries
The national socialist party was founded by Anton Drexler and he was brought into the party after hearing the economic ideas of Gottfried Feder. Giovanni Gentile is the ideological founder of fascism, although technically it came from France with 'circle Proudhon'.
@@dvn3477 _"Fas cism allows private ownership"_ Not really. Individual ownership rights were understood to be strictly subordinate to collective discipline. It was not the individual ownership of property that concerned Fa scists, but it subordination to collective control. Property was understood to perform social functions rather than to manifest individual rights. It was clear that the conception of property as a social function was broad enough to include socialization of the means of production, should that be required by the national interests as interpreted by the state.
@@dvn3477 _"Comm unism is where the state has complete control over corporations."_ That is just socia lism, not com munism. There is no state in commu nism.
So. As anarchy is far right, and a dictatorship is the extreme left. Tell me again how fascism Is right wing? Love to hear this one. Really would love it. Lol 😅
This literally explained nothing about the actual economic and governmental structure of fascism. How about an actual look at what fascism tried to do, rather than focus on the downfall of how people in fascist government abused their power. I still want to learn about fascism. Thanks.
Fascism is not right wing, but it can be right or left wing but it is essentially when government works in collusion with private businesses and they are arm in arm with one another. The party in power, whether they are right wing or left wing or arm in arm with big businesses that are rich and the press and modern day, cable, news, media social media, and they are joined at the hip and arm and arm to censor the public, and drowned out any dissent
@n45 not really. What primary source information do you base your historical fiction of the facists on. Oh and why are you trying to blur the distinction between national socialism and facism ?
Again, what primary source information did you use ? Did you read Mien Kampf or A Preface to a Political Economy, Das Capital you know, that type of primary source information. Now, what metanarrative of Mussolini that underpins your argument did you use ? Or. Does your argument rest upon ablative logic to push a generalisation such as generic fascism to serve a current radical postmodern left wing agenda ! Because of this therefor that type of logic ?
Mussolini had a Jewish finance minister...... And even a Jewish mistress.... And not even talking about the tens of thousands of jews in his party..... The racial ideology was clearly imposed by Germany, it was literally at the same time.
@The_Golden_Warriors Hans wants hitler not to be a fascist, but a socialist, because "socialism bad" and it's also a convenient way to distract from how the US right wing for example is leaning fascist and they don't want to be (accurately) compared to hitler in social and economic policy
I’ve looked into this one because I’ve had lots of requests for it. But they basically have a novel of information for their platform. Would be nice if it was simplified a bit in order to make a video for it.
In America the right wing is comprised of people who have been steeped in John Locke individualism. It’s important to understand the distinction between the right wing of the individual handed down from the British enlightenment as opposed to the right wing of Hegel and Kant. Hegel was a statist and collectivist that influenced Marx as well as Giovani Gentile who was the father of fascism. Fascism was a statist collectivist movement that exalted the state above the indivual. So that is more like something one in America might see as being left wing. It’s only a right wing phenomenon when juxtapossed to Marx but they are both left wing collectivism. Remember America is Locke and the British enlightenment and has nothing in common with fascism. Hegelians were cultish and loved their philsophy and Germany was full of them. Germany actually rejected the label of fascism because they didn’t invent it. They behaved fascistically one can see but Nazi Germany was Hegelian National Socialism. Italy was fascist under Mussolini. Peace
Without looking at Mr. Eco’s 14 points I have observed that what most modern day left us clamor for amounts to Fascism for the most part. And by that I mean an economy that is pluralistic includes some of the trappings of a free market however most items are steered and driven by a central planning authority. And the scales can easily be tipped in favor of one favorite group or even politically loyal individuals. In addition any criticism of the central planned eco can be deflected by blaming it on the "Evil oil Co.'s" etc. etc. Another hallmark of fascism would be the suppression of political opposition. Again you can see this quite readily in the whole “woke" movement. However because of the bad history associated with fascism most modern day leftists are very quick to try and distance themselves from that word..
@@TheBrickMasterB : Well you know what they say about opinions and and they all stink… L O L. All systems tend to benefit the politically powerful at the expense of a politically week. The more powerful the government the more this phenomenon is exaggerated. There's a false paradigm used to describe political systems which places Marxist Socialism and fascist Socialism at opposite ends of the political spectrum. This is inaccurate at best. A more accurate picture would place total government control at one end and anarchy at the other end of the political spectrum. The woke movement is the latest manifestation of the politically correctness movement, which is merely the suppression of disfavored ideas. How one views the treatment of disfavorited speech gives insight into whether one tends towards libertarianism or authoritarianism. The libertarian believes the remedy for "Bad" speech is more speech. The authoritarian prefer censorship.
@@DFHartman Your assessment relies on the assumption that all speech is equally valuable and righteous. Bigotry and hatred have no place in a modern liberal society, and Marxist analysis relies inherently on avoiding fascistic outcomes. Odds are you only read the Communist Manifesto, which was really only Marx's little mission statement to rile up European laborers to rebel. His actual literature was more about discussing the nature of freedom and how even if there's a degree of it within an institution, there's still ways to oppress people through their biological needs. Yes, you technically have a choice to get a job, and yes, you technically can quit it for a better one, but in order for that to be truly fair, you need to be able to have equal bargaining power with the person you're petitioning for a paycheck. Which is impossible unless you're part of a union, since a company will always be able to leverage more unless you're, say, a celebrity. Fascism, on the other hand, extends from conservative philosophy, namely in the need for strict hierarchies. Conservatism as it existed before the 20th century was largely a philosophical concept designed to justify the hoarding of wealth and power. But you're so hellbent on demonizing the government exclusively that you're failing to see private enterprise is just as easily capable of holding that power. And fascist movements are fully aware of this. That's why companies were so eager to do business with the Nazis. As for "woke..." I'm sorry you hate seeing non-whites and non-men in leading roles sometimes, I'm sure it's very hard for you, lmao
The definition isn’t more complex, it’s just hidden because fascism aligns more with the left on structure and goals. Remember, Hitler and Mussolini were praised by “left wing” politicians before the war. Both communism and fascism have centralized power and authority. The biggest difference is communism controls every aspect of commerce while fascism relies tends to work hand and hand with businesses, but allows them to operate in capitalism. China is a good example of this. Nationality is at the forefront in all of these ideologies. Remember, it wasn’t the Jews that Hitler targeted in speeches, it was the 1% of top earners. Similar to a Bernie Sanders. Most of these ideologies are defined by the leaders that are in control..
*_"The definition isn’t more complex, it’s just hidden because fascism aligns more with the left on structure and goals."_* Total nonsense. Absolute rubbish. *_"Remember, Hitler and Mussolini were praised by “left wing” politicians before the war."_* Oh FFS, give it a fucking rest. There were a lot of American businessmen who thought Hitler was the best leader in the world. They said so publicly. People like Henry Ford did business with him. IBM and the fuel companies did too. They supported Franco the same way. America has a pretty sordid history when it comes to supporting oppressive regimes. No wonder you're still trying to wriggle out of it. *_"Both communism and fascism have centralized power and authority."_* Greatest non-argument in the history of the world. Also one of the things American business leaders praised Hitler for. Every government on the planet is to a greater or lesser degree centralised. Otherwise, how would they undertake economic planning? You couldn't even have a currency if there wasn't a central government. No national defence, no health system, no education standards... Really, if this is the best you've got... *_"The biggest difference is communism controls every aspect of commerce while fascism relies tends to work hand and hand with businesses, but allows them to operate in capitalism."_* This is the nearest you've got to an accurate statement and even this is wrong to a degree. No government in the world can prevent simple capitalism. Even during the Russian Civil War, when the government tried to prohibit the farmer's markets, Soviet officials were sending their staff around the corner to buy from them. Capitalism is impossible to stop. *_"Remember, it wasn’t the Jews that Hitler targeted in speeches, it was the 1% of top earners. Similar to a Bernie Sanders. Most of these ideologies are defined by the leaders that are in control.."_* Bullshit. Absolute and utter schlock. Hitler's 'anti-capitalism' was limited to war profiteering and money lending rates. He was not notably anti-Semitic until after WWI. But Hitler's backers were rich industrialists like Fritz Thyssen because Hitler was anti-Bolshevik. That put an end to his anti-capitalism by 1922. All through the 1920s, Hitler continued to collect extremely wealthy backers and by 1930, he was a very wealthy man himself. ('Hitler', Ian Kershaw). When the Nazis came to power in 1932 the party was broke. Goering brokered a deal with the wealthiest dynasties in Germany: Thyssen, Krupp, IG Farben, the Flicks, the von Finks, the Porsche-Piech family and the Quandts. This turned Nazi Germany from an economy into a kleptocracy ('Nazi Billionaires', David de Jong) From then on, the Nazis, under the direction of Hjalmar Schacht, undertook a path of sell off that would not be equaled until the days of Rogernomics, Reagan and Thatcher. They sold off all the banks, the entire German rail system, all the German shipping companies, all the national steel works, public land and even charities, like Winterhilfe. The list was almost endless. In pole position to buy up these entities at a bargain price were the aforementioned wealthy families. The Nazis also instituted the race laws that allowed these Nazi billionaires to buy up reputable Jewish owned companies for as little as a fifth of their value. On top of that and to assist Hitler's wealthiest friends, the Nazis deregulated the labor market by banning trade unions (they forced all German workers to join the one national union but banned strikes and other forms of industrial action, which amounted to the same thing). They rolled back laws like sick leave and holidays and things like superannuation that had been there since the days of Bismarck. In so doing they turned the entire German workforce into one gigantic labor pool. (ibid. de Jong, also 'Against the mainstream: Nazi privatization in 1930s Germany'. Germa Bel). You need to do some serious reading, son.
@thethirdman225 : _"Fascism is not ‘left wing’."_ Wrong. By definition it was, a totalitarian far-left, socialist ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from Georges Sorel. As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, it comes from a belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society.
@thethirdman225 : _"But Hitler's backers were rich industrialists like Fritz Thyssen because Hitler was anti-Bolshevik."_ The fact that the capitalists and entrepreneurs, faced with the alternative of Marxism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Marxists. Capitalists don't like to be killed any more than other people do.

None of this ever happened. Nothing was sold. On the contrary, everything was nationalized. For example the German rail system was specifically nationalized and brought under direct NSDAP control during 1937, and renamed to Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Nazism can't be defined as fascism, given that Gleichshaltung (in regards to the economy and structure of society) and biological racism have never been a policy of any fascist movement. Plus, the national socialists believed in the shrinking markets idea (purely the basis of socialism) and that a total revolution must be launched.
It's the left frfr they are actively as of this minute talking of ending the electoral college, taking over the Supreme Court, locking up political opposition, ending the fillabuster, affirming genders of other ppls kids, institutions are being incentivized to think and hire on a racial bias , n funding multiple wars at tax payer expense...So if anyone was watching this video n keeping notes the left is now went so far they came out on the other side of the right
You did your best to confuse people what fascism is. It is socialism with 2 differences. State control of the economy, rather than own it. National socialism, rather than class socialism Look up Giovanni Gentile the philosopher of Fascism
No, its literally its opposite and many people who hate Socialism and wanna supress it cause it perpetually-tries-to-help-the-Workerclass spread this debunked Myth they are similar or the same.
It a split from socialism, started by Marxists from the trade unions The first fascists were French called national syndicalism, later to be called fascist syndicalism under the guidance of French thinker Georges Sorel. This quickly spread to Italy where Giovanni Gentile philosopher of fascism wrote the Doctrine of Fascism National syndicalism is French for national trade unions and fascism in Italian means trade unionism. Italian trade unions were called fascisti after a bundle of sticks called a fascio, one stick can be broken but a bundle cannot. Sorel and Gentile were both Marxists. The aim of fascism was to control industry through trade unions and government regulation, so that the government will have complete control as all unions are state unions. Everything within the state, nothing outside the state and nothing against the state It came from Marxist unions, everyone involved was a socialist, Mussolini, Sorel, Gentilly, and my relative Sir Oswald Mosley of the British union of fascists was a socialist. The first Nazi party was the Czechoslovakian Nazi party, who ruled till 1948 in coalition with the Communist party.

Fascism is more left than right now. I didn’t see the right forcing lockdowns and Covid passports. I didn’t see the right putting unvaxxed into camps. So I think you’re a bit off saying it’s right wing.
Just..No. It is, always has been, and always will be right wing. It was created in favor to represent those who wanted to maintain hierarchy. By every definition far right is fascism. The fact you would even try to form an analogy between public health a nazism is astounding and shows how well propagandized you are. I would gladly educate you on the history of right wing and left wing politics, american history, and foreign politic history. the democrats are considered right leaning everywhere else in the world. Republicans are considered even further right wing. Right wing is stands for corporate power these days, before modernization it was just imperialism and royalty. they are two sides of the same coin. historically, democrats in America have never been left wing.
What you said isn't inherently left or right wing. Leftism and right wingism more so refers to economics rather than than policy. And you're trying to make the argument that the "right" Wasn't doing state interventionism except they have on things like abortion, education in places like Texas and Florida, book bans, taking over Disney etc. Also Republicans want to get rid of things like Social Security and welfare which is still state interventionism.
No it is mostly right leaning centrists and conservatives who tick all the boxes, meeting the criteria of a Nazi or a fascist, a bigot is a different matter altogether, I'm sure one has been called that many times.

Fascism was just italian, it was co-op socialism with a syndicalist component, national socialism was biological marxism...
Fascism is socially right wing but economically left wing According to my Grandfather that lived in Fascist Italy the government took away foreigners/foreign corporations lands and gave it to Italian families which to me seems inherently good the people that belong to the nation should always come before a foreigner.
However there is no such thing as "socially right wing". Social value etc. exist on the Conservative / Progressive scale. They have nothing to do with the left/right political spectrum.
I think this is often confusing because the way left and right has been represented historically. For example, left as liberal is not left as progressive and rght as republican is not right as facism.
I would describe the Communist regimes of Stalin, Pol Pot (Cambodia), and Mao (China) as Fascist even if they did not call themselves that . . . and even if they thought they were anti-fascist. Please comment on this.
@@endloesung_der_braunen_frage authoritarian, communist, stealing from one people to give to other people is far left. And that’s what the Nazi did. They thought the Jews took all the money so they took it and give it to the poor… sounds familiar?
Fascism was considered the socialism that would actually work. The architects of fascism called it the "practical socialism." Fascism was heavily based on socialism. Geovanni Gentile, the main architect of fascism, idolized Carl Marx and incorporated socialist principles and philosophy into fascism. Fascism and socialism are so closely related, that the biggest difference between the two is the spelling.
**This goes in depth and is decently long ** Looking at this from a non-bias political standpoint, the democratic party is definitely far more "fascist" than the republican party. The Democratic party funded and aided in seting up the "Klue Klux Klan" and tried to keep segregation laws in affect to split the nation into groups, despite it being against the US constitution. They also funded the riots (providing potential weapons) that happened during the beginning of the "BLM" movements, provoking violence despite "BLM" supposedly proposing a non violent protest. This lead to most of the "fascist" finger pointing these last couple years, after Donald J. Trump stated the Democratic parties simularities in "fascist veiws" with Mussolini and Hitler. Where the republican party is focused on keeping the nation as a whole "for the people by the people" (hence the nickname "conservatives" when speaking in general although "conservative" isnt just Republicans but some indigiounous political groups also) The Republican party does have VERY few things in common with the idea of "fascism" such as, Military power (over other countries not the people. Which im not actually sure if that qualies as a "fascist" belief)
You calling the less right wing party in the US as fascist is showing you actually are biased & that you don't know what words mean. Nice concern trolling but it falls apart fast.

Nazism is very different from Fascism, Nazism uses Fascismo as a basis, but changes a lot for their own ideology. Fascism isn't inherently racist or spiteful. Authoritarian, nationalistic. It sacrifices some freedoms for the sake of the whole. State over the individual, essentially.
@@riesjart1000There were ten thousand jews in the fascist party, there were also african fascists such as: Abba Jofir, Askari Scire, Gabriel Ali, Hamid Idris Awate, Domenico Mondelli, etc.
you are so wrong. the philosopher of fascism was Geovanni Gentile. his mentor was Karl Marx. he was far left. look it up befor you do a video. he was a socialist.
Nazism has a completely different historical route to fascism .... it comes from a freemasonry route via Helena Blavatsky etc and his highly mystical .... whereas fascism and communism are both through Kant and Hegel and are highly religious .... fascism and communism are pretty much identical with different marketing.
Thanks for explaining. Pretty much describes the trans rainbow movement- driven by activists, embedded in media and even supported by politicians: their ideology is paramount and overrides and suppresses any dissension, any rights which conflict with theirs are suppressed by noisy and often violent protest, as in Auckland NZ with the Albert Park mob. They typically use slurs such as TERF, Nazi and Fascist against opposing groups, craftily diverting attention from their own policies which match these epithets much more accurately.
This is called projecting. LGBTQ people deserve rights. You do not deserve rights that intrude greatly on the rights of others. To think you do is to think your way of life is the correct one and they must bend to your beliefs. That's fascism.
Sounds like you clearly don't understand fascism. Maybe try to learn the definition first instead of trying to see if you can make the group fit the definition. And you may want to start with the fact that LGBT is not an ideology but a group of people who have been isolated and had their civil rights infringed.
@@lperea21 Can you explain it to me? :) In detail please? Also you're correct LGBT is not an ideology they are in fact a group of people but that group of people are driven by an ideology. LGBT, Antifa, 3rd wave feminists, environmentalists, BLM are a coalition, all driven by a single ideology. I would actually say that although there is some fascism in there these groups are certainly something much worse, they are Neo-Marxists.
As Romanian, with very mixed ancestry, I will tell you this right here and now at the end of the day there no difference, between a socialist, one that believes the government should own everything a fascist, one that believes that what the state say is the law a communist, one that believe he is entitled to everting because the state says so a capitalist, one whom believe money owns everything a monarchist absolutist, one whom believes the king own everything, a imperialist, one that believe his nation should own everything,
@@CosmoShidan --There is a long history of groups and governments mis-naming themselves, either as an appropriative lie or a delusion.

Very interesting! I surely do not understand enough what fascism is on the daily basis to really comment on it’s value. Not having lived beside Germany during the Second World War it is extremely difficult to assess if Mussolini was right in choosing fascism to control Italy at that period. Mussolini probably did not have that much choice given how Germany was run at the time. These were difficult times and sometime your survival will justify behaviour totally unacceptable to people like me who never lived through a war. I wonder if I would have choose Fascism or Nazism if I lived just on the border of those two countries in 1942. What were the benefits of either regime to people opting to one of them? I do not throw stones to any body before trying to understand.
Mussolini was basically the father of fascism. Germany didn’t force fascism on them or pressure them. Italy was fascist first because of their economic troubles and territorial humiliation following the first world war
Italy became Fascist due to the terrorism of the Two Red Years. Kinda like BLM and Antifa rioting, burning and looting except Italians only put up with that shit very briefly before the March on Rome.
Benito Mussolini laughed at Hitler's attempts to create a blonde germany.he also baulked after hearing about the Holocaust remarking " what should we expect from a pack of people who were woodland savages at the time of Virgil"?. He wanted to pull out of the alliance with Hitler at that time.i don't know what Hitler said to him,but he stayed in.he might not have lived if he had left,and Italy would have been totally taken over by the Nazis.
One thing to note is that fascism and nazism are not identical. Nazism uses the basis of fascism to promote its goals of racial hierarchy while fascism has more aspects in terms of economy, legislative and judicial politics, and other social sciences.

To be fair, the definition of Fascism is far more complex than most realize. Today, people will basically define Fascism to fit whatever political agenda they identify with. Hence, Identity politics. Usually comes from the left these days.

Fascism doesn't necessarily have to do with race. Nazism (which is what people are usually referring to) is the only "fascist" (if you are going to call it that) ideology that is extremely racist. Fascism was about nationalist "spirituality." Calling it far right is oversimplified imo, it is rooted in what was deemed left wing politics at the time and was basically just a schism of socialism. State control of all life is what you call extreme public over private (inb4 privatization myth)
Mexican synarcism, Brazilian integralism, Spanish falangism, Italian fascism etc etc etc weren't about race. Germany was, but so too were the national bolsheviks of Karl Otto Paetel and Ernst Niekisch, it was just normal in Germany at the time

@n45-chan Italy had colonies since before fascism yet "interracial" marriage wasn't outlawed until 1937 (In Ethiopia, but there still wasn't segregation (Look up Abba Jofir), and the relationships were banned due to security purposes).
True racial segregation against jews and the natives in the colonies was only implemented 1938 and beyond to make the Germans happy, YET they still complained about fascism not being racist enough.

Yes, the nazis were Anti-Jew bigots yes, but it was just a part of a larger vision for Germanys domination of the world powers as revenge for their humiliating defeat in WW1 and the economic rescission that followed after war reparations for their defeat. WW2 WAS FUELED EQUALLY BY HATE AND A LUST FOR POWER BY ANGRY REGULAR PEOPLE and as such can happen (and is) again any wear in the world especially USA
Fascism is the government or how the nation works, like how democrats say they are democracy (but aren’t) which goes with hitler being “fascist” by was a nazi. Also they were socialists so Nazi germany was a Fascist country led by Nazis with the people being socialists
You kind of breezed over ANTIFA giving people the impression that they were against fascism, that's why you don't listen to their words you watch what they do because again there's that Motto, "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." Joseph Goebbels

Antifa is a stance, not an organized movement. It pops up where-ever far-right groups gain influence or notoriety. Also, there's nothing fascistic about it. They don't advocate for a dictatorial state, strong natural hierarchies, military power, racial supremacy etc. In very rare cases they use violence (against far-right protesters, whose ideology's inherent violence is a lot more dangerous), but that does not make them fascistic.
No kidding. Antifa has no centralized figurehead calling the shots but it uses fascist tactics of violence and intimidation to attempt to achieve its hardline political stance of the lessening of the individual in favour of the collective. Opposition is not tolerated.
@Rusf Hertz Banderism is cringe and indecisive pseudo-fascism. Azov and Right Sector are NATO puppets.
@rusfherzts4513 "New" would mean that it wasn't there before, but what these people will ultimately reap is millions of dead people, which we've seen in every communist nation that has ever existed. Communism doesn't work outside of small communities, because no large population will always function as one entity. Regional difference make every egaletarian effort invalid and will only cause the leading party/the leader to deal with those that decide to not be a part of the ideology anymore in the quickest way as to not let them cause an uproar amongst the others. Whatever communism touches will ultimately implode on itself, leaving chaos behind. Communism *has to* merge with fascism to function. No way around it.
Your little quote is also attributed to Churchill and others yada yada. Got a reputable source or are you making that up like everyone else? Long was also a dirty fascist soooo.... just like usual the fascists point fingers to say their opponents are the real fascists. Funny how that's still going on 90 years later
The problem is that fascism is considered "right" and communism is considered "left", but both result in almost identical outcomes. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were were almost the same person, with a slightly different mustache. If you switched them as babies, history would have turned out exactly the same.
No way this is a real comment. worst ever youtube comment take

You are wrong. Both fascism and Nazism came out of the left. Before Mussolini took control of Italy, he was a socialist/communist. His only disagreement with the communist was that their revolution was moving too slow. Mussolini was the editor of Italy’s largest communist newspaper.
Hitler didn’t call himself a fascist. He believed he was a socialist and by executive order, he collectivize Germany, more thoroughly than Stalin collectivize the USSR. Hitler hated and didn’t understand free market capitalism, the opposite of the way conservatives believe.
During that time there were no Limited government conservatives like today’s.
Fascist put government in charge of telling businesses how they must operate. When asked if Obama was a socialist, economist Dr. Thomas Sowell said no Obama like to govern the way fascist do because he like to put government in charge of telling businesses how they most operate.

I'm a little confused here.. if communism is authoritarian and far left. How can fascism be authoritarian and far right, especially when the far right believes in limited government? Wouldn't anarchy, no government, be technically far right?
The idea of left and right makes it seem linear. But if you add a second dimension (democracy vs authoritarianism) you end up with four groups. Democratic Left, Democratic Right, Authoritarian Left (aka Communism) and Authoritarian Right (Fascism)
@@lperea21 The other dimensions that you're talking about are just branch offs. And if we're talking about Democratic right/ left, none of that really matters because that's a base of authoritarianism. Making it still left wing
Classical and progressive liberals use these terms, fascists themselves viewed it as a syncretic third position against liberal capitalist democracy and Marxist international materialism that was neither left nor right
The far right does not believe in liberty lmao. Thats centrism. Or liberalism, a branch of leftism. The state is not always left wing you know
Because fascism is NOT a right wing movement, a prime example of right wing Ideology would be liberal democracy.
Communism is a Left wing movement because leftists want things like: Authority, Equality, Collectivism and Reform.
Capitalism is a Right wing movement because rightists want things like: Liberty, Inequality, Self Reliability, and Tradition.
Fascism is a Third positionist movement which is brought up by fascists to say that they are not right or left, which is true.
Third positionists combine the left and right but are not centrists because of strictly sided goals. Third positionists, like the Left, want Authority and Collectivism, but like the Right, they want Inequality and Tradition. Examples of Third positionist Ideologies include: Nationalism, Fascism, Nazism, Eco-Fascism, Ultra-Nationalism, Militarist Statism, National Syndicalism, and National Bolshevism.
While I undertand you were just providing examples, Francisco Franco was not fascist. During his dictatorship, he balanced power between four main groups in order to stay on top. One of those was the 'falange', which was fascist and actually left-wing by many standards (national sindicates, state-controlled economy, etc...). He gave the falange power for the first few years of the dictatorship, but with time he took it away as it became clear their movement had lost strength after WWII. One consequence of this was that in the 1950s, thanks to a government of technocrats, Spain slowly became an open market economy and had an economic boom. Of the 40 years that Franco's dictatorship lasted, less than half were 'fascist'. (Note I am not defending the dictatorship in anyway, just providing facts). Another interesting fact is that the party in Spain that nowadays calls themselves 'anti-fascists' and tries to look as dissimilar from the dictatorship as possible, has in reality the closests ideals to fascism. Guess that what this is to say is: Never trust labels, they will almost always be misleading
@Popular-Front Interesting. I guess left and right are just labels after all, and they can't really let you grasp the full picture. When talking about fascism I usually refer to the Verona manifesto, since it's the original version of fascism, but it is true that in places like Spain it was a bit different. Thanks for taking the time to write that insightful comment, it's definitely an interesting area of history and politics and worth examining.
Spanish falangism was interesting, the 2 main ideologists José Antonio Primo de Rivera and Ramiro Ledesma Ramos had very different ideas. José Antonio wanting an agrarian syndicalist Spain, where as Ramiro Ledesma looked to emulate Stalin with mass industrialisation and central planning
The problem with the comments you made, and I am in no way saying you are wrong, is that by dividing these groups up into smaller groups with different names you are actually helping to spread confusion.
Most people today don't even know how to define basic terms like communism or distinguish it from socialism or fascism. But that doesn't seem to stop them from using these names when they are sent off to argue with anyone who will listen. If you haven't noticed there is a war of words and ideas going around. "Scholarly" articles of how we "don't live in a democracy we live in a republic" or "the Nazis were socialist, it says it in the official party name" have become rally cries for "left is bad and right is good".
I know that is not what you are saying, but remember to keep this in mind when you are commenting or answering questions. All they really want to hear is "far right is not fascist, because fascist is bad".
@@lperea21 So you're saying that I should adapt my intellectually motivated comment for ignorants? I see what you're trying to say, but one cannot change the truth for fear of ideological interpretations. And neither left nor right are the best.
@@el_saltamontes lol, kind of. Your last sentence is key.... Making simple statements like that I think will help. Right now just saying what something is not, is enough to throw someone off. For example one argument going around en masse is "America is not a democracy, it's a constitutional republic". You would be tempted to say that it is not a "true democracy," and be correct. The problem, though is that the argument has a sinister hidden agenda. They are trying to convince people that the majority is not supposed to rule, and that the minority rule was intentional. And that is not what the constitution was about.
So adding that it's a democratic republic fixed the problem.
Fascism & communism are two sides of the same coin.
Not a right wing root though. The answer's in the question: National SOCIALISM.
Hitler formed a islamo-soviet pact. So is starmer. Let the reality of that sink in.
The left *absolutely* wants us to think it's a right-wing phenomenon.
Nazis intentionally knew to call themselves national socialists in order to appeal to the working class. In actual reality, communists were one of the Nazi's targets.

1. The rods or bundle of sticks referred to the trade unions not soldiers
2. Nazi were not fascist, the were national socialists and racists. Mussolini fascist party wasn’t racist, they had thousand of Jews as members
So based on the definition, what is the difference between fascism and Communism? Autocratic. Suppression of opposition. Suppressoin of individual rights for the common good. Central control of the economy etc etc etc.
Well that sort of depends as to what we're referring to. The USSR you see was fascist in all of its practices and used the guise of the common good, laced with some of Marx's talking points, to gain populist support. It is worth noting in this situation that men such as Stalin and Mao essentially ran their nations as authoritarian police states which heavily contrast with the Marxian ideal of a stateless, classless society.
There is none. That's why the Soviets were called the Red Fascists.
Communism is defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society. The Marxist-Leninists (what you think of when you think communism) called themselves communist because, although they hadn't created a communist society, they claimed they would reach one through a one party state, state capitalism, and democratic centralism. (You can compare them to Revolutionary Catalonias anarcho communist methods).
The MLs have bern criticized by both socialists and capitalists for essentially being fascist. I think they were too. If you wanted to split hairs, there are some differences.
Materialism. The fascists "common good" was strength. They thought that life was a struggle, and the struggle was all they lived for. The MLs didnt just want people to survive, they wanted people to be prosperous, especially theough material wealth, which fascism rejected.
Claims to equality. The fascists argued that they humans were fundamentally unequal, but the MLs claimed to be huilding a classless society.
Class attitudes. The MLs used class conflict, the fascists were class collaborationist. The MLs abolished the probate bourgeoisie, while the fascists worked with them.
Collectivism. Unity, to the MLs, was a means to an end. To fascists, it was the end.
Source. The fascists tended to work with the pre existing elites, maybe even using elections, while the MLs used revolution to remake the system.

Fascism and Communism are both collectivist ideologies with little room for anyone to be an individual.
The discussion about the right or left, obscures a more essential point, being that it is authoritarian, suppressing civil rights, militaristic and using brute forces to maintain itself etc. Your description of what fascism is, is quite clear and undisputed - except for the extreme right part. Then it becomes disputable, as we know that certain fascist regimes and contemporary fascist movements do collaborate quite intensively with extreme-left forces. the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact is just one of the examples. And indeed, when looking around the world, which regimes show most of the characteristics of fascism, we end up with nearly all current communist regimes. So, why not concentrate on the clear characteristics of fascism and avoid getting muddled with a claim that you can not back up with sufficient undisputed facts? The enemy for me is authoritarianism and that requires all possible energy to fight. And to what extent a given form of authoritarianism can quality as left or right, I don't care at all.
I think you really nailed it! Thanks for sharing your valuable input on this. I'm surprised that more people didn't take your approach to the video, and I wish more could see it this way.

@sH-ed5yf so by your logic any government that isn't democratic even a communist one is fascist.
There is a very clear explanation of fascism written by a person who lived during the time of it's rise. That is, "Fascism: What it is, and how to fight it" a pamphlet with a variety of articles written by Leon Trotsky in the 1930's. In his writings he shows how fascism is different than military dictatorship, and documents the errors of the Stalinists in fighting fascism. The pamphlet is freely available on the internet with a search of that title. However correct, or incorrect, the above video is, the analysis by Trotsky, made at the time of the rise of the fascists is essential reading for those who want to know how fascism happened.
While it provides interesting reading, people should take it with a grain of salt, considering the Marxists were ideological enemies of Fascists. So you will most certainly get a biased story from Trotsky.
Issues like "master race" and etc .... is already quite a separate topic, although they are associated and occur in parallel (eugenics). A fundamental aspect of fascism and other totalitarian notions is the search for a common enemy to intimidate the public, where the enemy is sought is just one variable.
Funfact, today's "developed" totalitarian states, like in Europe, use a whole spectrum of enemies, now the top enemy is Russia. So the war in Ukraine will last a long time because it pays off politically
wrong. That was Hitler's view. Which is very close to the leftist views today.

@@chrisgavin2794not really. A socialist tends to believe that, as long as a capitalist class exists with a large scope, a system is capitalist. And corporatism counts under that. A socialist would be wrong if they claimed that corporatism is laissez-faire capitalism.
It really doesn't matter how much corporatism exists under fascism, THE FACT IS, whatever corporatism exists under fascism is still UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE COLLECTIVIST FASCIST STATE which really makes it just another form of socialism. A good example would be China, who in recent decades have allowed for a small portion of their economy to function under Capitalism, but in the end it is still the ruling Communist party (CCP) that controls all the economic outcomes and financial directives. Thus, the Chinese economy is still controlled and managed by the state and not by the businesses or private ownership. It is completely state controlled and therefore NOT a true Capitalist, free-market economy.
Interesting video however the one thing I noticed you got wrong was you said it's a far right ideology however everything you identified as being fascist reflects the far left.

Much of your description is correct, but with some critical exceptions. Fascism is a far-left ideology, an outgrowth of socialism, in response to the realization that Western nations, with large, prosperous middle-classes, a revolt of the proletariat was a practical impossibility. Also, fascism is itself not racist. Nazism is, but Nazism is distinct from fascism. Today's antifa is thoroughly fascistic. Worse, it is also racist.

Mussolini was a socialist journalist who embraced nationalism rather than internationalism or Marxist socialism, when he saw how compelling nationalism was to most people During WWI. But he was not a racist and indeed had a Jewish mistress, and only adopted racist policies to placate Hitler with whom he sought an alliance. But neither racism or antisemitism fully manifested itself in fascist Italy. Hitler coming after Mussolini, was a nationalist and a socialist, thus the name National Socialism or Nazi.. It did however, Incorporate, concepts of ethnic and or racial purity, as racism and antisemitism. Although the two regimes, may appear the same to you, they felt themselves to be distinctly different from one another and never used the word fascism and nazism synonymously. However they were allies in WW2. Although much of the means of production was seized and nationalized in the two regimes, in some cases private property was merely regulated in place. thus projecting an illusion of a free market.

And the scales can easily be tipped in favor of one favorite group or even politically loyal individuals.

There is a big difference between fascism and national socialism Hitler wasn't fascist he was National Socialist fascism was invented by Benito Mussolini in 1919.Hitler founded the National Socialist Party in 1920 so please do not compare Mussolini to Hitler.
Nah. National Socialist was something he faked to be. He was the quintessential F-scist.
@MTN_Dew_Baja_Blast "We Fascists have profound differences with National Socialism that have clearly been affirmed at the Congress of Montreux; for example, we do not have such an intransigent conception of race, we do not fight against religion…in Montreaux, we defined our position on anti-semitism. For us it’s not a question of race. I think we should only invite parties that have a constructive ideal and that want Corporatism."
-Eugenio Coseischi (via Erik Norling, Revolutionary Fascism)
"One might say that Fascism has reacted upon the creative life of the Italian people somewhat like sterilization. It is, after all, nothing like National Socialism. While the latter goes down to the roots, Fascism is only a superficial thing. That is regrettable, but one must recognize it clearly. National Socialism is really a way of life."
-Dr. Joseph Goebbels, The Goebbels Diaries
Fascism has actually been around since 1914 (Fascio d'Azione Rivoluzionaria) and nazism since 1903 (German Worker's party Austria Hungary)
The national socialist party was founded by Anton Drexler and he was brought into the party after hearing the economic ideas of Gottfried Feder. Giovanni Gentile is the ideological founder of fascism, although technically it came from France with 'circle Proudhon'.

Not really. Individual ownership rights were understood to be strictly subordinate to collective discipline. It was not the individual ownership of property that concerned Fa scists, but it subordination to collective control. Property was understood to perform social functions rather than to manifest individual rights. It was clear that the conception of property as a social function was broad enough to include socialization of the means of production, should that be required by the national interests as interpreted by the state.

great explanation thank you so much.
Fascism is not right wing, but it can be right or left wing but it is essentially when government works in collusion with private businesses and they are arm in arm with one another. The party in power, whether they are right wing or left wing or arm in arm with big businesses that are rich and the press and modern day, cable, news, media social media, and they are joined at the hip and arm and arm to censor the public, and drowned out any dissent
Nazism and Facism are two distinct ideologies. Facism isn't antisemetic !
@n45 not really. What primary source information do you base your historical fiction of the facists on.
Oh and why are you trying to blur the distinction between national socialism and facism ?
Again, what primary source information did you use ?
Did you read Mien Kampf or A Preface to a Political Economy, Das Capital you know, that type of primary source information.
Now, what metanarrative of Mussolini that underpins your argument did you use ?
Or. Does your argument rest upon ablative logic to push a generalisation such as generic fascism to serve a current radical postmodern left wing agenda !
Because of this therefor that type of logic ?
Again no primary source information only secondary source conjecture !
Not really. The anti semitism you are trying to attribute to the facists was an edict imposed by Hitler.
Mussolini had a Jewish finance minister...... And even a Jewish mistress.... And not even talking about the tens of thousands of jews in his party..... The racial ideology was clearly imposed by Germany, it was literally at the same time.

I’ve looked into this one because I’ve had lots of requests for it. But they basically have a novel of information for their platform. Would be nice if it was simplified a bit in order to make a video for it.
In America the right wing is comprised of people who have been steeped in John Locke individualism. It’s important to understand the distinction between the right wing of the individual handed down from the British enlightenment as opposed to the right wing of Hegel and Kant. Hegel was a statist and collectivist that influenced Marx as well as Giovani Gentile who was the father of fascism. Fascism was a statist collectivist movement that exalted the state above the indivual. So that is more like something one in America might see as being left wing. It’s only a right wing phenomenon when juxtapossed to Marx but they are both left wing collectivism. Remember America is Locke and the British enlightenment and has nothing in common with fascism. Hegelians were cultish and loved their philsophy and Germany was full of them. Germany actually rejected the label of fascism because they didn’t invent it. They behaved fascistically one can see but Nazi Germany was Hegelian National Socialism. Italy was fascist under Mussolini. Peace
For a more in-depth look at what fascism constitutes, Umberto Eco's 14 Points is a great checklist for whether something is or isn't fascist.
Without looking at Mr. Eco’s 14 points I have observed that what most modern day left us clamor for amounts to Fascism for the most part. And by that I mean an economy that is pluralistic includes some of the trappings of a free market however most items are steered and driven by a central planning authority. And the scales can easily be tipped in favor of one favorite group or even politically loyal individuals. In addition any criticism of the central planned eco can be deflected by blaming it on the "Evil oil Co.'s" etc. etc. Another hallmark of fascism would be the suppression of political opposition. Again you can see this quite readily in the whole “woke" movement. However because of the bad history associated with fascism most modern day leftists are very quick to try and distance themselves from that word..
@@DFHartman The fact that you 1. Use "Woke" unironically and 2. Think fascism was left-wing immediately tells me you know nothing lmao
@@TheBrickMasterB :
Well you know what they say about opinions and and they all stink… L O L. All systems tend to benefit the politically powerful at the expense of a politically week. The more powerful the government the more this phenomenon is exaggerated. There's a false paradigm used to describe political systems which places Marxist Socialism and fascist Socialism at opposite ends of the political spectrum. This is inaccurate at best. A more accurate picture would place total government control at one end and anarchy at the other end of the political spectrum.
The woke movement is the latest manifestation of the politically correctness movement, which is merely the suppression of disfavored ideas. How one views the treatment of disfavorited speech gives insight into whether one tends towards libertarianism or authoritarianism. The libertarian believes the remedy for "Bad" speech is more speech. The authoritarian prefer censorship.
@@DFHartman Your assessment relies on the assumption that all speech is equally valuable and righteous. Bigotry and hatred have no place in a modern liberal society, and Marxist analysis relies inherently on avoiding fascistic outcomes.
Odds are you only read the Communist Manifesto, which was really only Marx's little mission statement to rile up European laborers to rebel.
His actual literature was more about discussing the nature of freedom and how even if there's a degree of it within an institution, there's still ways to oppress people through their biological needs. Yes, you technically have a choice to get a job, and yes, you technically can quit it for a better one, but in order for that to be truly fair, you need to be able to have equal bargaining power with the person you're petitioning for a paycheck. Which is impossible unless you're part of a union, since a company will always be able to leverage more unless you're, say, a celebrity.
Fascism, on the other hand, extends from conservative philosophy, namely in the need for strict hierarchies. Conservatism as it existed before the 20th century was largely a philosophical concept designed to justify the hoarding of wealth and power. But you're so hellbent on demonizing the government exclusively that you're failing to see private enterprise is just as easily capable of holding that power. And fascist movements are fully aware of this. That's why companies were so eager to do business with the Nazis.
As for "woke..." I'm sorry you hate seeing non-whites and non-men in leading roles sometimes, I'm sure it's very hard for you, lmao
@@TheBrickMasterB Bajebus.. The modern left shows more commonalities with fascism than conservatism does.
The definition isn’t more complex, it’s just hidden because fascism aligns more with the left on structure and goals. Remember, Hitler and Mussolini were praised by “left wing” politicians before the war. Both communism and fascism have centralized power and authority. The biggest difference is communism controls every aspect of commerce while fascism relies tends to work hand and hand with businesses, but allows them to operate in capitalism. China is a good example of this. Nationality is at the forefront in all of these ideologies. Remember, it wasn’t the Jews that Hitler targeted in speeches, it was the 1% of top earners. Similar to a Bernie Sanders. Most of these ideologies are defined by the leaders that are in control..
Fascism is not ‘left wing’.
*_"The definition isn’t more complex, it’s just hidden because fascism aligns more with the left on structure and goals."_*
Total nonsense. Absolute rubbish.
*_"Remember, Hitler and Mussolini were praised by “left wing” politicians before the war."_*
Oh FFS, give it a fucking rest. There were a lot of American businessmen who thought Hitler was the best leader in the world. They said so publicly. People like Henry Ford did business with him. IBM and the fuel companies did too. They supported Franco the same way. America has a pretty sordid history when it comes to supporting oppressive regimes. No wonder you're still trying to wriggle out of it.
*_"Both communism and fascism have centralized power and authority."_*
Greatest non-argument in the history of the world. Also one of the things American business leaders praised Hitler for. Every government on the planet is to a greater or lesser degree centralised. Otherwise, how would they undertake economic planning? You couldn't even have a currency if there wasn't a central government. No national defence, no health system, no education standards... Really, if this is the best you've got...
*_"The biggest difference is communism controls every aspect of commerce while fascism relies tends to work hand and hand with businesses, but allows them to operate in capitalism."_*
This is the nearest you've got to an accurate statement and even this is wrong to a degree. No government in the world can prevent simple capitalism. Even during the Russian Civil War, when the government tried to prohibit the farmer's markets, Soviet officials were sending their staff around the corner to buy from them. Capitalism is impossible to stop.
*_"Remember, it wasn’t the Jews that Hitler targeted in speeches, it was the 1% of top earners. Similar to a Bernie Sanders. Most of these ideologies are defined by the leaders that are in control.."_*
Bullshit. Absolute and utter schlock.
Hitler's 'anti-capitalism' was limited to war profiteering and money lending rates. He was not notably anti-Semitic until after WWI. But Hitler's backers were rich industrialists like Fritz Thyssen because Hitler was anti-Bolshevik. That put an end to his anti-capitalism by 1922. All through the 1920s, Hitler continued to collect extremely wealthy backers and by 1930, he was a very wealthy man himself. ('Hitler', Ian Kershaw). When the Nazis came to power in 1932 the party was broke. Goering brokered a deal with the wealthiest dynasties in Germany: Thyssen, Krupp, IG Farben, the Flicks, the von Finks, the Porsche-Piech family and the Quandts. This turned Nazi Germany from an economy into a kleptocracy ('Nazi Billionaires', David de Jong)
From then on, the Nazis, under the direction of Hjalmar Schacht, undertook a path of sell off that would not be equaled until the days of Rogernomics, Reagan and Thatcher. They sold off all the banks, the entire German rail system, all the German shipping companies, all the national steel works, public land and even charities, like Winterhilfe. The list was almost endless. In pole position to buy up these entities at a bargain price were the aforementioned wealthy families. The Nazis also instituted the race laws that allowed these Nazi billionaires to buy up reputable Jewish owned companies for as little as a fifth of their value. On top of that and to assist Hitler's wealthiest friends, the Nazis deregulated the labor market by banning trade unions (they forced all German workers to join the one national union but banned strikes and other forms of industrial action, which amounted to the same thing). They rolled back laws like sick leave and holidays and things like superannuation that had been there since the days of Bismarck. In so doing they turned the entire German workforce into one gigantic labor pool. (ibid. de Jong, also 'Against the mainstream: Nazi privatization in 1930s Germany'. Germa Bel).
You need to do some serious reading, son.
@thethirdman225 : _"Fascism is not ‘left wing’."_
Wrong. By definition it was, a totalitarian far-left, socialist ideology based on National Syndicalism which they adapted from Georges Sorel. As created by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, it comes from a belief that the "Stateless and Classless society" Communism calls for after its dictatorship cannot achieve Socialism, and that only the State can properly organize a Socialist Society.
@thethirdman225 : _"But Hitler's backers were rich industrialists like Fritz Thyssen because Hitler was anti-Bolshevik."_
The fact that the capitalists and entrepreneurs, faced with the alternative of Marxism or Nazism, chose the latter, does not require any further explanation. They preferred to live as shop managers under Hitler than to be "liquidated" as "bourgeois" by Marxists. Capitalists don't like to be killed any more than other people do.

Wrong. None of this ever happened. Nothing was sold. On the contrary, everything was nationalized. For example the German rail system was specifically nationalized and brought under direct NSDAP control during 1937, and renamed to Deutsche Reichsbahn.
Nazism can't be defined as fascism, given that Gleichshaltung (in regards to the economy and structure of society) and biological racism have never been a policy of any fascist movement. Plus, the national socialists believed in the shrinking markets idea (purely the basis of socialism) and that a total revolution must be launched.
Of course Nazism isn't a form of fascism, but rather fascism was used as a tool to spread the ideology of Nazism.

National syndicalism is French for national trade unions and fascism in Italian means trade unionism. Italian trade unions were called fascisti after a bundle of sticks called a fascio, one stick can be broken but a bundle cannot.
Sorel and Gentile were both Marxists.
The aim of fascism was to control industry through trade unions and government regulation, so that the government will have complete control as all unions are state unions.
Everything within the state, nothing outside the state and nothing against the state
It came from Marxist unions, everyone involved was a socialist, Mussolini, Sorel, Gentilly, and my relative Sir Oswald Mosley of the British union of fascists was a socialist.

Fascism was considered the socialism that would actually work. The architects of fascism called it the "practical socialism." Fascism was heavily based on socialism. Geovanni Gentile, the main architect of fascism, idolized Carl Marx and incorporated socialist principles and philosophy into fascism. Fascism and socialism are so closely related, that the biggest difference between the two is the spelling.
This matches ukraine perfectly.
**This goes in depth and is decently long ** Looking at this from a non-bias political standpoint, the democratic party is definitely far more "fascist" than the republican party. The Democratic party funded and aided in seting up the "Klue Klux Klan" and tried to keep segregation laws in affect to split the nation into groups, despite it being against the US constitution. They also funded the riots (providing potential weapons) that happened during the beginning of the "BLM" movements, provoking violence despite "BLM" supposedly proposing a non violent protest. This lead to most of the "fascist" finger pointing these last couple years, after Donald J. Trump stated the Democratic parties simularities in "fascist veiws" with Mussolini and Hitler. Where the republican party is focused on keeping the nation as a whole "for the people by the people" (hence the nickname "conservatives" when speaking in general although "conservative" isnt just Republicans but some indigiounous political groups also) The Republican party does have VERY few things in common with the idea of "fascism" such as, Military power (over other countries not the people.

a capitalist, one whom believe money owns everything
a monarchist absolutist, one whom believes the king own everything,

Mussolini probably did not have that much choice given how Germany was run at the time. These were difficult times and sometime your survival will justify behaviour totally unacceptable to people like me who never lived through a war. I wonder if I would have choose Fascism or Nazism if I lived just on the border of those two countries in 1942. What were the benefits of either regime to people opting to one of them? I do not throw stones to any body before trying to understand.
For this, i recommend
the videos of ‘Some More News’ and also the Socialist-RUclipsr ‘Second Thought’
Mussolini was basically the father of fascism. Germany didn’t force fascism on them or pressure them. Italy was fascist first because of their economic troubles and territorial humiliation following the first world war
Italy became Fascist due to the terrorism of the Two Red Years. Kinda like BLM and Antifa rioting, burning and looting except Italians only put up with that shit very briefly before the March on Rome.
So pretty much like socialism and communism
Benito Mussolini laughed at Hitler's attempts to create a blonde germany.he also baulked after hearing about the Holocaust remarking " what should we expect from a pack of people who were woodland savages at the time of Virgil"?. He wanted to pull out of the alliance with Hitler at that time.i don't know what Hitler said to him,but he stayed in.he might not have lived if he had left,and Italy would have been totally taken over by the Nazis.
Fascism is left
