(ELI5) what actually is a facist
In: Other
The easiest way I’ve found to define “fascism” is to take the namesake of the ideology: The fasces.
The fasces are in essence a bundle of sticks tied together. The symbolism of the fasces is that it represents strength in unity. One stick is easy to snap, but multible ones are neigh impossible.
Fascism is the belief that one’s own unit, nation or race’s superiority and that it must unite, often in the opposition of a hated enemy (Communism, Judaism, etc.). Fascism is inseperable from the pursuit of power, and hence is strictly hierarchical, militaristic and authoritarian by nature.
Fascists recognize no greater duty than the advancements of one’s units interests regardless of self-sacrifce or morality.
