The futurists don't want you to see this one!
It's depressing to see the state of fascism today. Fascism has been reduced to politics, even reduced to a simple philosophy with no real bearing in the daily life of the supposed fascist.
However fascism has shown itself early on that it never meant to be simply a philosophy of politics, but a philosophy of everything, the totalitarian nature of fascism brings within it the very life of the fascist themself.
To be fascist is to be an artist and a revolutionary, it cannot be without either one or the other, the artist creates the hero, the hero creates a national identity personified into the man, and by that the nation is made into a man, that man being every single human within the nation. They are the pure representation of the will of the nation, the job of the revolutionary is to bring that will to its realization, rather than being repressed by the liberal democratic order.

It's coming!!!!
Giovanni Gentile in "the Theory of Mind as Pure Act"
"Parlami,
quando il cuore
ti si gonfia di pena.
Lasciami sperare
che io potrei consolarti."
- Gabrielle D'Annunzio
He is literally me!
Twitter's having a shitfit about conservativism and how it's totally fascism because they say so. Actual fascism, as described in the book "the doctrine of fascism" by Giovanni Gentile, fascists as revolutionaries at there core, conservatives are not. Fascist philosophy is about upending the social, cultural, and political order so that the state is the supreme authority in all aspects of life. Conservative philosophy is against this, as it core is tradition of the family, the social order kept learned gentlemen, and the freedom to do business and commerce(there is more but I'm keeping it short). Many universities use to do fascist studies, where it was debated and proven wrong, but ever since 2016 (or even the 90s) it now more easier to throw it as a frisbee to opponents then it is to actually prove a point with a point with an argument. Thank you for reading.
There's a incredibly terrible take on what fascism is and it's been around for a good long while.
I'd call it funny if weren't so sad. I die a little inside every time I see someone call the Gadsden flag a fascist thing.
no stop that it's as far removed from fascism as it's possible to get, why is this so hard to understand
Fascism seeks pretty much control every aspect of your life, Gadsden is fuck off and don't tell me how to live my life.
wanting less government is the polar opposite of fascism also the polar opposite of communism/socialism which could possibly be how the concept managed to get into the mainstream since there's so many people that run with a black and white scenario mindset and since fascism and communism are opposed to each other these people that don't want the commie style government must be fascists too
Really can't wait for nuance to come back into style
In this claim addressing a so called "incredibly terrible take on fascism" this person seems to themselves posit an incredibly terrible understanding of fascism, at least the relation of fascism to the state.
Of course, yes, the Gadsden flag does contradict fascism but not in the sense that you may think it. The Gadsden flag stands today as often a representation of classical liberalism, a liberalism in which the state presupposes freedom and by that can only respect it through self limitation of the state. In this case the individuals line up against the very state which presupposes their freedom and by that the state is negated by the individual.
Giovanni Gentile displays that this is a contradiction:
What one pulls from this paragraph is that freedom itself is not presupposed by the state, rather it is earned first and secured through the state by the act of understanding it not as a natural right but an ideal to be realized.
Now let us actually address the issue of "totalitarianism" no the state does not in any way intend to control every aspect of the life of the individual, as stated here by Gentile:
Rather the state itself takes the common will of the people and makes it law, as law is not law without will, it requires the individual to be actively engaged with and part of the state, in this sense the state and the individual have no true distinction, as the state is the will of each individual within the nation. This is totalitarianism, the total realization of the unity of will within the nation, the state in true service to the individuals rather than standing as an equal who only seeks to threaten that freedom the individual holds on to.

Giovanni Gentile in "My Liberalism" (1923)
"Do you believe in God?"
Idk maybe, what? wdym by God? like do we mean a man in the sky? the subject? the universe? nvm just come back later I'll figure it out.
No room for outdated ideals within the movement, down with the traditions which put strain on the creative and productive capabilities of women, which steal from them their right to sovereignty.
Another good war would fix this world.
