The Guide to Fascism

The Guide to Fascism:

Fascism is often spoke of in a derogatory way that denotes negligent totalitarianism. It is misunderstood and mislabeled constantly, with many confusing it with ‘Nazism,’ or more accurately, National Socialism. Even fellow Fascists will confuse Fascism and its philosophy often.

With this guide I hope to clear these misconceptions up and to teach the reality of Fascism. In actuality, I’m going to be reiterating the Doctrine of Fascism itself, which I will link below in the ‘Material’ section in case anyone wishes to read it as well as other useful sources.

Core Philosophy:

No matter what variant of fascism you look at (Falangism, Clerical Fascism, National Socialism, etc) - the foundations are all the same; unity and stability above all else. This cliché paradigm of the ‘left vs right wing’ is both narrow-minded and in stark contrast to these very ideals. Putting countrymen at each others’ throats jeopardizes all that a true Fascist holds dear to him, his people, his family, and his Nation. It must be clarified that Fascism is not a reactionary force fixated on persecuting enemies of the State - rather, it is revolutionary in anticipating solutions. To simply enforce decrepit and ineffective laws is reminiscent of conservatism and thus adaptation through observation and reform is the key to tomorrow. Therefore the Orwellian interpretation of Fascism as being a brute police state obsessed with curfews is null and void.

It should be duly noted that Fascism is Third Positionist, meaning it takes the best from both sides and transcends the political spectrum.

The State:

”All within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”
- Benito Mussolini

At the very center of everything is the State. Through a libertarian lens, the State is the oppressor of the individual. Through the Fascist perspective, the State and the individual are inseparable - they are one and the same. The individual inherits the State at birth and evolves mentally, physically, and emotionally within the many institutions and programs it provides. In order for the nation to thrive the individual must be encouraged to pursue his/her passions for a job best befitting him/her and ultimately the State. The Fascist State is not to be disregarded as merely a watchman policing the streets and keeping order - it is a synthesis between the nationstate, its culture, its history, its spirituality, and its people. The State is not a material force promising to solve all of Man’s woes and sorrows - no! It is an entity within the metaphysical realm that binds generations to generations and makes itself felt through every soul within its sphere.

The State itself is led not by lordlings and politicians but the people themselves; in this sense, Fascism is a more proper representation of Democracy. The Collective dictates and wills itself through the State and thereby the Nation and its future.

The main argument against the Fascist State is its use of violence and suppression of ‘freedom of speech.’ It is unanimously believed that tolerance and freedom of expression are the ‘pillars’ of a civilized nation - that dissent and discontent somehow define acceptable normality. Fascism rejects such preposterous notions and enforces its doctrine, culture, laws, and customs throughout the Nation. Similar to O’Sullivan’s Law Fascism believes in action and intolerance in order to instill and uphold the moral and spiritual values of the people. Fascism is absolute; it is not interested in perpetual bickering and debate over elements harmful to Man. The elements of consumerism, materialism, hedonism, political opposition, and other issues present in their respective countries must be adamantly judged and dealt with.

Eternal Struggle:

“Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands, and an infinite scorn in our hearts.”
- Benito Mussolini

In order to understand the fundamentals of Fascist philosophy, one must acknowledge that it views life not as an anomaly nor quest for peace; but a struggle; a righteous and determined struggle. Life is unfair; ruthless; merciless; and harsh - therefore Fascism aims to prepare the individual as soon as possible for the future obstacles and hardships he/she will endure. The Fascist State strengthens and trains her children for war on every level instead of sugarcoating and giving them petty assurances.

Life rewards those who prevail everyday and every second. Those who survive and even thrive from their deepest wounds earn relief, joy, and satisfaction from their internal/external battles. Every success and victory an individual achieves is felt in his attitude, his household, his neighborhood, his community, and so his State. Like a shockwave the conception of a national struggle is suddenly very alive and real; ripe for activity and action; ready to face anything the globe throws at it.

“The pursuit of happiness is never-ending; happiness lies in the pursuit.”
- Saul Alinksy (Rules For Radicals)

Meritocracy & Elitism:

Fascism respects and adheres to hierarchy by which meritocracy permits those deserving of high positions and ranks. Plutocracy and cronyism are thereby banished in place of those whom have proved themselves worthy. Fascism recognizes the hierarchical nature of even the insect world and animal kingdom - humans are no different. It is a fact that people excel in some fields while lacking in others, thus giving everyone their various traits and skills. Fascism rewards those who utilize their craftsmanship and hone themselves.

It is in this topic that we understand the essence of discipline and obedience in a Fascist society fervent in authority and order. When speaking of discipline and obedience today, one may instantly come to the conclusion of degradation and submission, but this simply is not true. The Fascist maintains his dignity and confidence when dealing with authority; he is not obnoxious nor careless; neither does he let himself be a subdued soul devoid of uniqueness and emotion - no, he is humble and respectful, nothing more, nothing less. The State is not interested in being amused by jesters - it wants soldiers, leaders, teachers, scientists, etc.

A Fascist society is neat, it is uniform and orderly. Respect must be earned on an intimate level and shown in the hierarchical structure of the social pyramid. A janitor isn’t to be scolded for having less of a job than a judge or officer. All the various professions and jobs coordinate themselves into a national effort when looking at statistics, advancements, and triumphs.

If the people do not have at the very least discipline then they will in turn not possess even a modicum of respect and decency for their elders, parents, and so the world around them.

Intellectualism:

Coincidentally, or so you would believe, Fascism is anti-intellectual. Now, it must be understood that Fascism is not an enemy of debate in general and deep philosophical thinking. Rather, a more accurate description of this statement as opposed to the Doctrinal layout is ‘anti-skepticism’ - these almost utopian dreamers. The skeptic is libertarian, indecisive, he is a man who questions anything and everything for the sake of questioning. In the 21st century such men are abundant yet so miserable and paranoid. These men are the conscious objectors of action and reality and instead toil with fantasy and unrealistic scenarios of ‘peace and harmony’ while watching the outside world from their windows.

Race:

Fascism does not indulge itself in racial theories of supremacy and inferiority, rather, it merely recognizes the biological fact of racial diversity and leaves it at that. Fascism seeks to protect the national identity founded on spiritual elements, and uphold the integrity and safety of the nation. To this end, strict scrutiny of migrants, as well as expectations of cultural assimilation, will take place. In effect this will also maintain a majority-status for the original racial group, due to the importance cultural-identity has to individuals, and thus, due to many not willing to leave their culture behind to adopt a new one. The maintaining of the majority-racial group is not by design (as would be in National Socialist states), but happens through on its own as a natural side effect of the Fascist immigration policies, which once again, are not designed from the datum of keeping as many migrants out as possible, but rather, to ensure that everyone who comes is compatible and won't cause harm.

Regarding the Semitic question, Fascism does not wish to persecute the Jews. If one would like to remark about the 1938 anti-semitic laws the Kingdom of Italy introduced then it should be pointed out that this was a purely political move to maintain ties with Germany. Even then, Mussolini refused to hand Italian Jews over to the SS. During World War Two Italy was a relative safe haven for Jews, with thousands fleeing from Germany/Occupied Zones to Italy.

“Despite its alliance with Germany, the Fascist regime responded equivocally to German demands first to concentrate and then to deport Jews residing in Italian occupation zones in Yugoslavia, Greece, and France to killing centers in the German-occupied Poland. Italian military authorities generally refused to participate in mass murder of Jews or to permit deportations from Italy or Italian-occupied territory; and the Fascist leadership was both unable and unwilling to force the issue.” - LinkHolocaust Encyclopedia

Spirituality:

A Fascist is willing to sacrifice himself, therefore he believes in something higher than his mortal life. The Fascist lives his life in the spiritual aura of his Nation and God. For him to be atheistic is to be ignorant of the sheer complexity of life, space, time, and the cosmos and beyond. The Fascist is moral, humble, respectful, caring, courageous, and deeply spiritual - his politics and his spirituality are intertwined. He may wish to be secular on a personal level, but all else requires belief; belief in God; in righteousness; in family; in sacrifice; in struggle; and most importantly, in himself. He must not lose faith in mankind and his destiny.

The Church does not preside over the State, as the State is consequently the individual. Rather, the Church resides within us as does God.

Economy:

The economic policies of the State are centered around three principles:

Welfare, Autarky, & Morality

Welfare: The welfare of men, women, and children is essential in the Fascist State. If the people are denied basic rights such as healthcare and education then the current State is a failure in all retrospects. The State must nurture and care for its people first and foremost, negating humanitarian aid if necessary. The wellbeing of the very veterans it sent off to war will be taken care of; the very workers that prop up industry will be ensured vacations and safety; and the very teachers that educate and enlighten the youth will be paid handsomely.

Autarky: The self-sufficiency of a nation will soften the blow/make it immune to embargoes, trade disputes, and tariffs. Along with this it will encourage and even protect domestic companies and industry from foreign competition and outsourcing. The specific economic policies will be set depending on the nation’s predicament.

Morality: The private sector naturally priorities capital above all. A company will outsource jobs to foreign cheap labor and advertise whatever appeals to the masses as it so conveniences them. More specifically in this process does consumerism sprout and infect society; corroding its very foundation. As a consequence, the lower and middle classes feel uncomfortable with themselves when faced with ‘hip’ or generally popular brands of clothes, shoes, etc. How can the youth master themselves in all aspects when they’re too busy trying to ‘fit’ in? How can they pursue their dreams and learn when they have insecurities of their appearance and thus self-esteem? Modern Man unintentionally sets the youth backwards and gives them unequal due respect and brotherhood of one-another.

Tying into welfare, Fascism does not trust the wellbeing of its citizens falling into the hands of mischievous insurance companies and private medical facilities.

It is a common misconception that Fascism is therefore Socialist due to its staunch opposition of Capitalism - this simply isn’t true. The efficiency as well as competition capitalism brings is utilized for the betterment of the nation rather than monetary goals. In saying this, socialism itself is heavily prevalent in the Fascist State in terms of altruism and the nationalization of vital industries.

Generally, Fascist economics fall in the categories of Corporatism, State Capitalism, and even Syndicalism. The workers are the blood vessels of the nation and hold a significant place in every variation of Fascism. Fascism itself is corporatist, not to be mistaken for rule or direction by private corporations.

Although working conditions will be as hygienic and safe as possible - worker strikes and unions are banned in order for the economy to adhere and sustain itself; rather, an alternative method to function without harming output is guilds. The bureaucratic nature of councils consisting of employers and employees alike will serve as the basis for complaints and wage-related issues.
