Fascism

Fascism is a totalitarian, culturally far-right, palingenetic ultranationalist, and "third-positionist" ideology. Fascism originates from the teachings of Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini, originally outlined in The Doctrine of Fascism. Fascism has had many iterations throughout history which have built upon Mussolini's and Gentile's ideas, while the form of fascism that does not built off of it, but rather follows the original doctrine is called Italian Fascism or Classical Fascism.

The name "fascism" comes from the Etruscan symbol by the name of "fasces", which is a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with its blade emerging. This iconography meant to symbolize the common fascistic belief pervading their doctrine, that, in their belief, the citizenry of the nation, as vermin-like and unworthy as they are, are weak divided, but strong united under the banner, whether that banner be of state, nation, army, or really anything of the like, much like the tight-bound sticks of a fasces".

[[File:Classfash.png]] Italian Fascism
Italian Fascism is the original fascist ideology, born from the writings and practices of Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini. We see it's historical practice by Benito Mussolini's parties: the National Fascist Party (PNF), which ruled the Kingdom of Italy from 1922 until 1943, and the Republican Fascist Party that lorded over the Italian Social Republic from 1943 to 1945. Italian Fascism is also seen with-in the post-war Italian Social Movement.

[[File:KKK.png]] Neo-Fascism [[File:Franco.png]] [[File:Neonazi ball.png]]
Neo-Fascism originates from the aftermath of World War II and the defeat of the Axis Powers. Neo-Fascism tends to believe that it's own nation is supieor to all others but is usually less associative with Totalitarianism but still holds the concepts of  Authoritarian Democracy.

Neo-Fascism is usually right to far-right politically, but still somewhat Corporatist economically. Neo-Fascism caries many ideals from National Socialism  as it took concepts from the  Italian Social Republic (1944-1945).

The first major Neo-Fascist movement was the Italian Social Movement, which was dissolved in 1995. Some people associate Neo-Fascism with Francoism as the Fascist ideology continued to rule Spain up until 1975, which is decades after World War II ended. A more well known variation of Neo-Fascism is Neo-Nazism which is the  National Socialist  version of Neo-Fascism. Neo-Nazism tends to be more racist than generic Neo-Fascism is, but not as much as National Socialism  is.

Neo-Fascism has gained recent popularity in Greece following the Great Recession and recent economic hardships in the country leading to creation of the political party Golden Dawn. In the United States,  Neo-Nazism has seen a resurgence in power following the 2016 election of  Donald Trump. A notable Neo-Fascist and Neo-Nazi movement is the third version of the  Ku Klux Klan, which evolved into Neo-Fascism and  Neo-Nazism after 1950 despite intially being  Neo-Confederate. Neo-Fascism also has it's roots in Alt-Right.

[[File:Red Fascism.png]] Red Fascism [[File:Stalin.png]]
Main article:  Stalinism

The term 'Red Fascism' or 'Left-Wing Fascism' refers to the traits of  Stalinism that could be considered  Totalitarian and Fascist. One major trait of Red Fascism that it carries from Fascism is Anti-Capitalism. Red Fascism, being an offshoot of Marxism–Leninism, is considered a communistic ideology and doesn't carry over  Corporatism or  Anti-Communism. Though, Red Fascism does carry over Anti-Liberalism and, to an extent,  National Conservatism.

This term can sometimes (erroneously) refer to third positionist movements which emphasize more left-wing economics, such as Strasserism,  National Bolshevism, and  National Communism

[[File:Cball-LiberalFascism.png]] Liberal Fascism [[File:Libfash.png]]
The term 'Liberal Fascism' was coined 2008 by  Jonah Goldberg who explained Fascism as a Left-Wing ideology to make  Liberals look bad. It only gained attention on the PCB Wiki after MapOfFish LARPed as a Liberal Fascist and explained it as an ideology where  Liberalism and  Progressivism are enforced through  Totalitarianism. Liberal Fascism is often mistaken with State Liberalism and  Reactionary Liberalism.

[[File:SocFash.png]] Social Fascism
The term "social fascism" is used by Stalinists to describe  Social Democracy, to make them look bad by making an analogy with a fascist 3rd position and social demoracy's "reformed capitalism". Welfare Chauvinism can be considered a more literal interpretation of the term.

[[File:Ultranat.png]] Ultranationalism
Ultranationalism is one of the tenets Fascist elements tend to agree on. They emphasize the importance of extreme devotion to one's own nation, state, or otherwise, without care to the individual. As such, Fascism could be easily argued to be a rather anti Individualist ideology, in fact extremely so, at least in vein of the greater society.

[[File:Anticommunism.png]] Economic Third Positionism [[File:Anticap.png]]
Fascism, especially when taken through the lens of the more traditional sort, tend to despise both traditional markets &  Communism  seeing both of them as degenerate, failures and denigrations to humanity. Thais corrupted ideal leads them to conclude that the only sound economic system s is  Corporatism seeing as it as the only non-degenerate with no failures. Mind you, some more modern Fascistic elements have begun to lean toward Marxist or  Capitalist (Sometimes mixes of  both ), however, generally Fascism is Corporatist economically.

[[File:Imp.png]] Imperialism
It is common, though it not a rule, that Fascist ideals and nations tend to be imperialist in nature. For examples of this, we can look back the the Second World War, with the Right-Wing Fascist Italy taking over Ethiopia and Albania, and the Left-Wing Fascist Nazi Germany taking over most of Europe and parts of northern Africa. These goals were bought on either by a concept of irredentism, commonly defined as reclaiming lost land to reach your nation's greatest extent, or expansionism, which is the the desire to gain more land, as Fascists oft have rather Globalist ambitions of one-world-government. Sometimes both can be used as justification, like in Germany, where the idea of Lebensraum ran rampant.

[[File:Totalitarian.png]] Totalitarianism
Fascism favors having a totalitarian dictator that has complete control over the country, subjecting all people who oppose the dictator to prison time or execution.

[[File:Mil.png]] Militarism
Fascist states like to build a large military, for national pride, 'honor', and a show of strength. They usually use the army to pursuit expansionist or irredentist goals as spurred by imperialism.

Nazi.png Views on Race & Ethnicity
Many forms of Fascism, such as National Socialism, are heavily based around race and/or ethnicity, however, Classical or Italian Fascism (the original form of Fascism based solely on the ideas of Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile) is not primarily focused on race or ethnicity, and instead is based more so around Cultural Nationalism.

[[File:Homophobia.png]] Views on LGBT
More Classical varients of Fascism have very similar views on gays & most of LGBT+ Community to that of National Socialism, meaning that they often hold rather critical views of such people publicly as a way to attack progressve opponents, while allowing such relations secretly to loyalists.

Criticism
Fascism is often seen as contradictory by both Leftists & Rightists because it hates both Liberalism &  Marxism-Leninism so most leftist claim that  Fascism is a  Capitalist ideology & many rightist claim that  Fascism is Leftist ideology, but neither of these are correct.

Realistically, Fascism has had Left-Wing and Right-Wing variants. We find that the true allegiance of Fascism is plainly authoritarian, in the most iron-fisted fashion.

Supercapitalism's ideal is the standardization of the human race from the cradle to the grave. Supercapitalism wants all babies to be born exactly the same length so that the cradles can be standardized and all children persuaded to like the same toys. It wants all men to don the very same uniform, to read the same book, to have the same tastes in films, and to desire the same so-called labor-saving devices. This is not the result of caprice. It inheres in the logic of events, for only thus can supercapitalism make its plans."
 * [[File:Stalin.png]] Stalinism - Mean Russian who keeps calling anything he disagrees with the moderate wing of me!
