Helping your kids understand fascism.

Posted: Dec 30, 2016

fascism is. Literally, it is a system where government runs businesses without owning them by threat of governmental force. Google and college professors like to liken it to right wing, but in this sense right wing refers to the traditional European political spectrum, not conservatism. I first explained that fascism (national socialism) is just another form of socialism. Internationalist socialists bitterly reject this idea, but it is the truth. Internationalist socialism and communism are distinguishable because they want to force all people to be “equal” in all ways; with things like individuality, gender, intelligence, experience, talent, personality, ethics and morality reduced “to the lowest common denominator.” They crave “generic” people living in primitive poverty, because wealth discriminates, and they want people to have nothing unique about them, and all living solely to serve government. Since trying to force people into this mold is very frustrating, and doesn’t work, internationalist socialists decide to destroy, even kill, those who do not conform to what they crave to be the “ideal”. They hate religion, unique cultures, history, ethnicity, nationalism, marriage and the nuclear family, excellence in anything, and utter abject failure, which they still prefer to excellence. They are very gifted at subverting organizations to work for their cause, and they quickly revert to violence and hatred against those who disagree with them. Fascism (national socialism) disagrees with internationalist socialism in several important ways. To begin with, they "honor" individuality and uniqueness and families, they see nations and peoples as having an inherent purpose and reason to exist apart from other nations, and while they do not embrace cultural and historical truths, they tend to idealize them to the point of fantasy to encourage national pride, even arrogance and do admire nations that have maintained their uniqueness. Comparing the two major varieties of socialism, several conclusions can be reached. First and foremost, they both suffer from fantastic idealism, for which they are willing to destroy and kill to achieve. Neither group respects republican-democracy, equality before the law, opinions that disagree with them, and they both crave radical solutions to problems simple and complex. They are both convinced of the inevitability of their philosophy, and demand that all institutions be geared to advance it, not permitting dissent or argument against them. They also watched each other to pick up ideas they could use to further their goals. Nationalization and collectivization by the internationalist socialists proved to be utter failures early on, though they insisted on forcing them to try and work, which they never did, even 70 years later. They still insist they are the only way to do things. The fascists (national socialists) picked up on this idea of failure, so modified their economic policies against nationalization and collectivization to instead just have government direct the outcomes they wanted from business, and let the businessmen figure out how to accomplish it, sometimes called the “public-private partnership”. Which worked somewhat better, but still is far less efficient than market forces alone. The bottom line to all this is that both philosophies, while similar, are both failures, despite endless efforts to make them work. They both cause destruction and violence, and hurt and kill people. And while their supporters will endlessly lie about them to make them sound good, they are both abhorrent and should be discarded to make the world a better place. ;
