Thank you for posting this. So many people on the left and right associate fascism with the methods that fascists used to gain and maintain power, rather than on the ideology at its core.

They also make no distinction between corporations controlling governments and governments controlling corporations. They lump them both into the category of fascism.

I personally believe that the US and much of Western Europe is now immune from fascism because of ethnic diversity and so many people being so far removed from the land that the ideology of fascism no longer has a place in the West.

Also, since corporations are multinational it is hard to see how any national government could put those corporations that are merely incorporated in their countries under their thumb. If the WEF, IMF, UN, etc. can successfully rein in the multinationals then we would have some global ideology that would more approximate Marxism than fascism.

China appears to be fascist. Japan, and other countries that are still ethnically homogenous, could become fascist but I think even that is a long shot. With corporations becoming multinational, and so many careers so far removed from the particular geographic features of each country, fascism is now merely an invective launched against one's political enemies.

It means something other than that which Mussolini and Hitler intended. It’s evolved. But his analysis of its historical origins are helpful in figuring out what it is. A lot of American black militants are unmistakably fascist, but it’s separatist ethnic socialism, not national socialism, because they want to destroy the nation called America. But they also want to form a separate nation that I’ve nick-named Bro-homia, as opposed to what Ron Kuby used to call White-landia. This kind of separatism will turn San Francisco and other gay enclaves into Fudge-pack-istans. Things will get pretty interesting.

Lesbian enclaves will be Rug-munchistans.

Fascist-syndicalism was the predecessor of fascism.

Your path of Fascism was Hegel >> Marx >> Stirner >> Georges Sorel(1847-1922)

Fascist-syndicalism was the concept of binding the in a workers' self-management system together. Fascism simply dropped syndicalism.
Max Stirner version of anarchism-syndicalism had no mechanism for each workers' self-management system to work together.

Most believe Fascism is right wing(Classic liberal/conservative) Even the modern Nazi's believe it. That was because Alberto de' Stefani( laissez-faire capitalist) whom worked for Mussolini as his fiance minister. The bankers at the time forced Mussolini to take him in. Stefani did a fantastic job of cleaning up the debts and other financial issues as the bankers required for their credit to open. When his job was done he was fired on the spot by Mussolini. Stefani truly hated the fascists called them corrupted sons of bitches. Everyone ignores what Stefani did for the fascists. Everyone ignores what Stefani did for the fascists. Because of most people believe fascism is based on right wing concepts which is clearly was never remotely what Mussolini wanted.

Nazi's is an imaginary derogatory term which can mean anything anyone wants it to mean. Nationalsozialismus (Sozi) called themselves Sozi.

Not too many people talk about Stirner. Well done.

I find Syndicalism to be an interesting concept — but anyone who wants Power and Control over society is going to drop Syndicalism: self-management isn’t what the Fascists were hoping to achieve.

Ezra Pound wrote admiringly in his Cantos of Mussolini double-crossing the bankers.

No one else seems to want to take the effort to teach the subjects properly. Certainly not the schools.

read the comment section of that video. Ryan Chapman left out all the key parts of what fascism is to the point there is over 100 posts saying that sounds like Trump.

What do you think the "Great Reset" is all about? And the U.S. government has increasing control over corporations in this country, something that has accelerated since the Obama years.

Agreed. It just isn’t fascism like some boomercoms want to claim.

said, "Not too many people talk about Stirner."

That was easy to find. Once you learn the predecessor of Fascism was syndicalism.
Alberto de' Stefani( laissez-faire capitalist) I had to read 70 year old books in Italian.

Alberto de' Stefani was aware of how corrupted Mussolini was and did inform the bankers of their risk. They went ahead with the loans because Stefani was able to cut back on expenses which met the demands of the bankers.

The fourth attempt?
This is an interesting history of circumstances of a military take over within our government in the 30's by the fascists. At 40:00 it gets interesting. He says there was three attempts.

General Smedley Butler created banana republics for wall street. Then he blew the whistle against the deep state that was forming a fascists government in the US. The fascists asked him to lead it.

Fascism is largely a meaningless term as even during Mussolini’s time no one defined it correctly. Fascism is an economic theory that centered trade power within national trade unions instead of private companies. These trade unions would in turn support the government when called upon as a form of natuonal socialism. Nazi economic theory is one of central command economy controlled bynthe government, but managed by private/public corporations. China is the closest to a pure National Socialist economic system today. The NASDP (Nazi party) mixed in scapegoating ethnic groups as a means tonsucre absolute power by stoking fear and hate. This later evolved onto a race based class system as the pathological behavior of those in power grew over time. The Nazi’s were a truely unique socialist tyranny never seen before or since in history, but they were not Fascists nor considered themselves so.

I’ve seen this. It’s quite good.

As much as the left accuses the right of fascism, aside for nationalist and populist leanings, all of the rest — and the bad parts — of fascism lie completely and unequivocally on the left.
