What is Facism? This is what google has to say about it.
>Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
Obviously, this is a garbage explanation. We're always fighting to bring about facism or some American equivalent, and I wanted to know just exactly what that meant, specifically. Are we just blindly charging forward, or is there some actual brainpower behind all of this.
What's the structure of it? How does it accomplish our goals (massive prosperity, accomplishing the space age, advancing our culture and achieving greater technological heights [both mechanical AND mental])
I mean, I thought I understood it, but then I realized I didn't understand a fucking thing.
Isaac Butler
Fascism is the reactionary movement against Marxism and liberalism in general. Today, it is the reaction against Cultural Marxism, and still against liberalism in general. Read the book.
Very similar to singapore, but on a larger scale. Capitalism is encouraged in specific areas. Culture is heavily enforced by law. The country may decide to spend its budget in any way seen fit by the leader. Democracy is seen as a threat to stability as it is soon corrupted by radical factions.
No it usually would have some type of enforced religion. But the values of the nation are usually derived from principles and axioms rather than scripture.
Bentley Wright
This also I believe the state has complete control over what types of services can be provided and what types of goods can be produced. Also complete contol over the media.
Thomas Stewart
It's a reactionary movement and as such is not really sustainable in the long term due to ambiguous passing of power after dictators abdication/death. There are many branches of fascism, but the core things that all have in common is nationalism, willingness to use force to achieve national interests and a pyramid style form of government. On the economic aspect if varies greatly. Some branches are more capitalist, some more like socialist, however none are in full support for capitalism and both capitalism and communism are seen as evil/bad. In fascism every aspect of the society works for the state. Banks. media, companies, factories, everyone and everything. This doesn't mean that there is no private property, however, working for one's own gain is frowned upon. In turn the state works for the benefit of it's citizens (well on paper anyway). Religion can play a major role in the government, or it can be completely sidelined and even attacked, depending on the branch and/or the dictator.
So what's the difference between Fascism and National Socialism?
Carter Lewis
It works how it needs to, the ideology is a way of thinking, not a script.
I imagine many cities would need to undergo some physical reorganization to foster a spirit of community and connection to nature. Art and architecture could be removed/rebuilt and publicly sponsored in accordance with their encouragement of virtue. Public schools could be allowed to exist or not, depending on community values. Sex segregation should be the norm. Women might be encouraged to stay home with their children and discouraged or prevented from working full-time or attending college. City leadership should be vested in one man, advised by those he sees fit and a council of elders. I would probably be in favor of a state church, certainly a state faith.
Your question is pretty broad, but there are some ideas.
Jose Morris
Read 100 questions asked and answered about fascism by Oswald Mosley.
David Rivera
My questions are broad because I don't know very much about the specific workings of Fascism or National Socialism.
A city would be run by a single person, who makes all the decisions, who is advised by a group who carries out his will. The single person reports to. . . what, a state governor? Who reports to the Leader?
How would that even work?
William Thompson
Well, for starters, places like Jow Forums wouldn't be allowed to exist. Just saying that the government and/or president was a fascist would literally get you thrown in jail.
Edgy kiddies saying Trump (or Obama, for that matter) is a fascist don't have a fucking clue what they are talking about.
Kayden Nelson
national socialism is a worldview and way of life that operates starting from the deepest level to lay a proper foundation for prosperity on all levels. fascism, comparatively, is more like a soulless bureaucracy. one main difference that people usually point out is that national socialism puts the people and racial spirit above all while fascism puts the state above all.
>the specific workings Again, fascism is a worldview, not a script.
> The single person reports to. . . what, a state governor? Sure.
>Who reports to the Leader? Everyone, in some manner or other, just like in any society.
>How would that even work? A city would be run by a mayor and a council, each group making some decisions, who are all "advised" by all the people once every two or four or five or six years. The whole government reports to... what, a state governor? And a state Congress? And a coalition of counties within the state? And their parties?
How would that even work?
>Just saying that the government and/or president was a fascist would literally get you thrown in jail. lolwut

To answer your actual question. If there are history textbooks in the far future, they won't be talking about Trump or w/e. They'll be talking about >global trade dependence, globalism >petrodollar and US shale >geographic prosperity, nationalism Countries of geographic prosperity fought against global trade, manifesting as Nationalism vs. Globalism, through the mechanics of USA energy independence with US shale and USA withdrawal from applying global force.
Nationalism is made the villain in the narrative of a Globalist, who paints all Nationalism as "Radical Authoritarian Ultranationalism" aka Fascism because decades of time has been spent painting Nazis as ebil psychopathic bad guys. Coincidentally Germany is another geographic region of prosperity but gets periodically extorted for wealth by its neighbors historically, which caused a reactionary nationalistic movement which is how things grew into WWII(and a lot of other conflicts). However not all circumstances are the same, unlike condition in Europe, the USA is pulling away while being in a very strong #1 position and being significantly more geographically isolated.
Basically Globalists have no way to stop America pulling out other than through insidious, subversive means, which is why you get to see the fighting going on in twisted headlines and not with tanks.
