(ELI5) what actually is a facist
In: Other
The central themes of fascism seem to be a.) a belief that “strength” is what matters most. b.) that strength in must be service to what makes the nation/empire strong (Mussolini’s quote of “Everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state” is particularly chilling).
The organizing principle can be different for different kinds of fascism (the Nazis organized it around “Aryan greatness”, modern Russia and fascist Italy around “Imperial greatness”).
