(ELI5) what actually is a facist
In: Other
The nation exists to serve the state. The state exists to serve the nation. The boundaries of the nation solidify an “us” vs “them” hierarchy that may be characterized and distinguished by race, religion, ethnicity, culture, creed, sexuality, gender, or ability. Those outside the “us” of the nation have no rights and are often regarded as a social plight and vermin that wastes resources that could be better allocated in service of the nation. Even the rights of individuals within the “us” group are provisional only in so far as these rights serve the interests of the state and the nation (in other words if you are one of “us” then you have freedom until it can be said that you sympathize with “them,” at which point you are an enemy to the state).
