Wisdom is about curiosity, reflection, the willingness to understand deeply and to put in the necessary effort. It is a journey.

Fascism consists of 4 components:
1) Mythological People: The main character
2) Cleansing: The mythological people must erase The Other.
3) Submission to the Leader: The visionary for the hatred.
4) Return of Greatness: The vision for expansion or great survival.

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays You should also check out the fascist Charter of Labour (1927):
https://t.co/3dTfhy6JlI
The 7th article states:
private enterprise is seen as the most effective way to organize within the economy. The state gives the power to the employer for the direction of the company.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays US bombed sailors on the open ocean and shipwrecked people (against the international law). Cleansing 10-15 million people is a violent act requiring concentration camps. It doesn't matter how you call the people.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba have not started a conflict with the US.

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays "Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity with the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle"

Socialism uses state for the workers and Mussolini rejected this.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays It directly says:
"Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (...) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle"

Mussolini was himself a socialist until he was kicked out of the party. He should know what it was, right?

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays Universalism is core part of socialism and so is egalitarianism. The rejection of these is also to be anti-socialist. I didn't claim that these are sufficient to establish fascism. But these are sufficient to state fascism is anti-socialist.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays So why did Mussolini say that fascism opposes socialism?

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

Here are some names of chapters from the Doctrine of Fascism:
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION
REJECTION OF PACIFISM
REJECTION OF MARXISM
REJECTION OF EGALITARIANISM

The founders of original fascism, Mussolini and Gentile, directly claimed fascism to be against socialism:

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

Mussolini and Gentile were opportunists. They said that Fascism to survive it must provide itself a doctrine but this doctrine is only after the fact. Action and vitality comes first. They missed the need for dualism and purification. The vitality comes from the violent hatred.

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 Making a new company that to succeed forces the employers to overwork their workers to the brink of death. This didn't solve the systemic issue of worker exploitation. Organized labor fought hard to get the 40 hour week and putting the children to school.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 Social democracy is the fusion of socialism and liberalism. This is essentially what Sanders is advocating within the US. The Nordic states are Social democratic and enjoy the highest quality of life on Earth.

New York's mayor Mamdani is a self-described socialist.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays I recommend reading Gentile's and Mussolini's Doctrine of Fascism:
https://t.co/TCT9Kes1HO
It explicitly has the following chapters:
THE IMPORTANCE OF TRADITION
REJECTION OF PACIFISM
REJECTION OF MARXISM
REJECTION OF EGALITARIANISM

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays Socialism is a movement to end worker exploitation.
Fascism is a movement to concentrate (democratic) state power to a leader via ultranationalistic rebirth. It glorifies violence, and is funded by the elite.

These are historically accurate descriptions of these movements.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays We see Trump's USA is attacking countries like Venezuela and Iran. He is also planning on attacking Cuba and possibly even Greenland/Denmark (a Nato-ally). War for fascists consolidates the nation under their leadership. This is in addition to the othering of the undocumented.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 And neither is socialism. Stalin became a dictator, the Bolshevik revolution failed.

As long as the industrialist were loyal, they kept their position above the workers. The fascists believed explicitly in a hierarchy and the efficiency of markets, once they got to power.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 Liberalism moved the center of power from the aristocrats to the industrialists. The factory workers worked in deadly conditions for 12-16 hours a day 6d/wk, children included. These conditions created socialism as a movement to end this exploitation of the workers.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 'Privatization' became a thing due to the way Hitler privatized the public industry into the hands of the industrialists in 1930s. Mussolini took 4 years to destroy the workers' movement and for Hitler it took only a couple of months. That's why the industrialist funded fascists.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 In early 1900s, Mussolini was a socialist until he was kicked out of the party in 1914 for the nationalist support of ww1, creating the fascist party 1919. Mussolini was explicitly anti-Marxist, anti-liberal and pro-markets; aligned with the Industrialists

@AnttiMattila11 @Koskinen1967 Orwell oli demokraattinen sosialisti. Hän taisteli Espanjan sisällissodassa (36-39) fasisteja vastaan anarkistien kanssa. Neuvostokommunistit pian pettivät anarkistit, kuten Ukrainassa. Orwell kirjoitti allegorian Bakuninin kritiikistä, kuinka valta korruptoi vallankumouksen.

[MindReflects @MindReflects]

@dean_robb10 @ItsLulu_7 Fascism is a right-wing populist movement to concentrate power to a leader through violent hatred of the minorities. Historically, the fascist gained the blessing of the church, money from the elite against the left and votes from the conservatives.

Fascism is opportunistic.

@realkotimoelli Totuus sattuu, mutta vähemmän kuin illuusion murtumisesta tuleva kärsimys. Totuus vapauttaa ihmisen. Uskontojen ja kulttuurien rakentamat valheet alistavat ihmisen. Tiede ja valistus ovat luoneet pitkälle kehittyneen maailman, jossa väkivaltainen kuolema on harvinainen.

@adam_newsw28111 @TeloLima1983TVP @FAHayekSays If you understood definitions and their historicity, you wouldn't be claiming that fascists are socialists. As a modern day analogy, this would be similar to claiming that Trump and Sanders are pushing for similar policy.

One is of the left, the other of the right.
