Fascist movements are implicitly utopian because they- like communist and heretical Christian movements- assume that with just the right arrangement of policies, all contradictions can be rectified.  This is a political siren song; life can never be made perfect, because man is imperfect. (Goldberg 130)

Far too often socialism and communism are compared to what is currently the political embodiment of the modern leftist ideology in the U.S. These leftist and communist ideas include anti-capitalism, total destruction of the individual in favor of the state, and big government takeover.  We have all heard this stereotype.

However, I think there is a far more accurate political ideology floating in the minds of modern leftists, thirsty for revolution to take down “the man” and change the “bourgeois system.” I am speaking of fascism.

“What!!” you say as you spit out your soy latte.

“Fascism is reserved only for evil white conservative men who spout evil fascist rhetoric like small government, individualism, self-reliance, capitalism, less dependency on government, traditionalism, and self-responsibility with strong ties to self-sustaining autonomous Christian family units!!!”

Slow down, Che, put down the vegan burger and let me explain…

After peeling back some layers and layers of Orwellian leftist language and indoctrination that fascism is of the evil American Righ, closer examination reveals startling comparisons to the modern American leftist.

Fascism could not be any further from the American conservative (Classical Liberalism at it’s heart).  Very few realize that fascism by its very nature was an extremely leftist populist movement taking root in Mussolini’s Italy and spreading like wild fire throughout Europe.

History of fascism

Fascism was born out of socialism (the prized ideology among the left) and was an evolved state-centric version of socialism which became popular around the early to mid 1900s. It was “new” and full of revolutionary change.  Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini (a name consisting almost entirely of Socialist revolutionaries) was raised a charismatic Italian Socialist (his Socialist father being a huge influence on him) (Goldberg 31).

After Mussolini incorporated socialism and nationalism within Italy, fascism spread quickly (without much pretense to race that would come later with German Nazism). Fascism would eventually compete with International Socialism for the young revolutionary, the working man, the poor, and the masses in places such as Germany, France, and Italy.

To many individuals, fascism state-centric ideology seemed far more of a “working system” rather than that delusional idea of “uniting the workers of the world”, which was the motto of the International Socialist. With fascism, as with all large bloated governments that leftists think can cure all our qualms, the utopian lie is propagated by the state which supposedly aims to build a communal National Socialism state-sponsored family.

Fascism was to transcend class differences exactly like socialism preached. Below are first-hand accounts according to working class Germans and their views on Hitler’s Nationalist Socialist ideas:

…Though I was interested in the betterment of the workingman’s plight, I rejected Marxism unconditionally.  I often asked myself why socialism had to be tied up with internationalism- why it could not work as well or better in conjunction with nationalism’. Another German states ‘I shuddered at the thought of Germany in the grip of Bolshevism.  The slogan ‘Workers of the World Unite!’ made no sense to me.  At the same time, however, National Socialism with its promise of community…barring all class struggle, attracted me profoundly’.  Another German stated they embraced Nazism because of the ‘uncompromising will to stamp out the class struggle, snobberies of caste and party hatreds.  The movement bore the true message of socialism to the German workingman. (Goldberg 74)

Below are key points from Mussolini and the Fasci di Combattimento (a Fascist organization created by Mussolini) circa 1919  (Goldberg 46):

• The abolition of the senate and the creation of a national technical council on intellectual and manual labor, industry, commerce and culture
• The creation of various government bodies run by worker’s representatives
• The obligation of the state to build “rigidly secular” schools for the raising of “the proletariat’s moral and cultural condition”

All of this seems like the modern American leftist’s wet dream. Modern American leftist rhetoric is far closer to fascism than the American right’s strong stress on individualism, capitalism, and reduced government intervention.

Fascism, a party of the left

Fascism stressed huge state governments. This huge fascist government included expanding health services, enforcing anti-elitism, wealth-confiscation, and secularism (Goldberg 46) all in the name of the state and the common good.  Fascism offered “anti-bourgeois, anti-capitalistic, and anti-individualist nationalism” (Sternhell 214-220).

The state was always before the individual under fascism; taking from some and redistributing to the many.  This is the core of modern American leftist ideology.  Many parallels of fascism are closely similar to Obamacare (expanding health services), higher taxes among the elite and wealthy (wealth confiscation), and the most recent; the fascist power grab, by the FCC “Net Neutrality” rules (anti-capitalist).

To illustrate this comparison further, let’s look at just a few of the Nazi Party’s key points (Goldberg  411):

• We demand the nationalization of all (previous) associated industries (trusts).
• We demand a division of profits of all heavy industries.
• The first obligation of every citizen must be to work both spiritually and physically.  The activity of individuals is not to counteract the interests of the universality, but must have its result within the framework of the whole for the benefit of all.

I can’t tell the difference when the Nazi points end and the American leftist points begin.  Not to mention, affirmative action (prized among the left) is just race privilege enforced by government intervention.  Affirmative sction is similar to the notorious government enforced Aryan privilege in Nazi Germany regardless of skill.

Historic dangers of the left

In all leftist extremes, be it communism, Nazism, socialism, or Fascism; murder, violence, and censorship are sure to be the eventual outcome of huge government. It is a historic pattern and if history is cyclical, which I believe it is, we are at the beginning of what will be the eventual violence found among extreme Leftist purity tactics dating back to the French Revolution (Jacboins), up through Soviet Russia (Bolsheviks), Ukraine, and Communist China.

Nothing has been more devastating and dangerous politically in the 20th century than leftist thought. If we look at 20th century communism alone we come to a whopping 85-100 million worldwide that perished under such leftist regimes, not to mention the censorship, labor camps, violation of civil liberties, and imprisonment.

One should think of fascism not as the complete opposite of socialism and communism, but yet another kindred spirit in extreme leftist political ideologies that were competing for the hearts and minds of the populous.  Not much has changed with fascist ideology of collectivism (another prized belief of the left) were individual twigs bundle together to make a strong piece of collective wood.

Allow this article to be a possible warning sign of modern day ideology, as their quest will devolve into a loss of civility and violence as we move farther and farther left. As the left ideologies become more and more resembling a preacher preaching piety from the pulpit, “action” will be the next conclusive step.  Peel back the leftist Orwellian language with nice sounding words like “Obamacare” and “Net Neutrality” to expose it for what it really is; fascist policies and huge government takeover in a pretty wrapper.

The beginning of the end

Whatever the case, one should keep in mind that socialism, communism, fascism, and Nazism all are of the left; they were just different factions of the left. What is occurring in the U.S. today is not that different from what occurred in Europe some years ago. Though it may be much slower and softer, “American” Fascism echoes European Fascism and is rooted in this very ideology.

Keep this in mind when you are sitting in your cube at the Ministry of Truth, hunched over your keyboard, editing and bowdlerizing Wikipedia pages for “the party”; just remember this article and the quintessential fascist party ideology:

(the) quest to create an all-caring, all-powerful, all-encompassing state, a state that assumes responsibility for every desirable outcome and takes the blame for every setback on the road to utopia, a state that finally replaces God” (Goldberg 20)

“But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”

Do not become the protagonist of 1984. Let’s keep fiction for the books and reality for us here in America. The philosophical and political fate of the country depends on it.

American conservatism isn't classical liberalism. It's puritanism. Hence blue laws, prohibitions, sodomy laws, polygamy laws and Protestant work ethic.

Good article. It is very rare to find an article on the internet that expresses the author's understanding of both the terms 'Fascism' and 'Corporatism'.

I offer one correction though. A major difference between Fascist Socialism and (International) Marxist Socialism is that Fascism preached class reconciliation within the nation state while the latter preached class warfare.

This is completely false, more like modern day marxists.

Fascism:

- Nationalism is the main foundation of fascism. The fascist view of a nation is of a single organic entity that binds people together by their ancestry, and is a natural unifying force of people.

- Fascist governments advocated resolution of domestic class conflict within a nation in order to secure national solidarity.

- While fascism accepted the importance of material wealth and power, it condemned materialism, which it identified as being present in both communism and capitalism, and criticized materialism for lacking acknowledgement of the role of the spirit.

- Fascist movements have commonly held social Darwinist views of nations, races, and societies. They say that nations and races must purge themselves of socially and biologically weak or degenerate people, while simultaneously promoting the creation of strong people, in order to survive in a world defined by perpetual national and racial conflict.

- Italian Fascism pursued what it called "moral hygiene" of youth, particularly regarding sexuality. Fascist Italy promoted what it considered normal sexual behaviour in youth while denouncing what it considered deviant sexual behaviour.

- Fascist Italy regarded the promotion of male sexual excitation before puberty as the cause of criminality amongst male youth, declared homosexuality a social disease, and pursued an aggressive campaign to reduce prostitution of young women.

- Mussolini perceived women's primary role as primarily child bearers and men, warriors—once saying, "War is to man what maternity is to the woman." Italian Fascism called for women to be honored as "reproducers of the nation," and the Italian Fascist government held ritual ceremonies to honor women's role within the Italian nation. In 1934, Mussolini declared that employment of women was a "major aspect of the thorny problem of unemployment," and that for women, working was "incompatible with childbearing." Mussolini went on to say that the solution to unemployment for men was the "exodus of women from the work force."

- The German Nazi government strongly encouraged women to stay at home to bear children and keep house. This policy was reinforced by bestowing the Cross of Honor of the German Mother on women bearing four or more children.

- The Nazis said that homosexuality was degenerate, effeminate, perverted, and undermined masculinity because it did not produce children.

None of those ideas correlate with modern day liberalism at all. Fascism is a far right nationalist/protectionist/darwinist ideology. Liberals love open borders, sluts, trannies, gays, and everything degenerate. People that call obama a fascist are just exposing their ignorance on the subject.

The closest the current political platforms matchup are as follows:

Liberals = Marxists

Libertarians = Capitalists

Republicans = Fascists


I'm actually preparing a much longer post into the topic of fascism and why it would work with the right leader running things.

Im not sure id say modern leftists are fascists. Im not sure what to call them, they have no grasp of reality, they are of with the fairies. There has never been nor will there ever be some sort of egalitarian utopia, if everyone was equal who would be left to do the shit jobs?. A certain group of people will always be exploited, leftists have no common sense, they jump on whatever bandwagon of the time to seem progressive and intelligent from their entitled position in the west, not thinking how every part of their existence is made possible through poorer countries, poorer hard working people working in terrible conditions.

Agreed; OP is playing a version of the old "But the Liberals are the reel rasistz!" canard, which will never convince anyone else.

It's interesting to note that in this regard Fascism wasn't one-dimensional. Fascists considered the Italian race superior to all others, but for them, race was a spiritual construct, not a biological one.

Even antisemitism in Fascist Italy wasn't based on biology, but rather on spiritual values. Mussolini himself in 1932 said:

"Of course, there isn't such a thing as a pure race, not even a Jewish one...Race: that's a feeling, not reality; that's 95% feeling. I don't believe it can be biologically proven that a certain race is more or less pure... In Italy antisemitism doesn't exist. The Jews have always behaved themselves as model citizens, and as soldiers they have fought bravely."

Fascist doctrine considered a nation "not a race", but "a multitude of people united under a certain idea".

This is one of many ideological tenets that makes Fascism fundamentally different from Nazism, even though the two ideologies are often erroneously put in the same basket.

National socialism contained aspects of both left and right within it. Hitler declared a May Day holiday and then abolished the labor unions.
