This page is about an important IRL ideology "This knowledge is essential to political science!" - Scientocracy This page is about an ideology that not only exists in the real world, but is also of reasonable importance. Please do not make major edits to this page without citing sources, so that it may stay accurate. |
“For Fascism… the State and the individual are one, or better, perhaps, ‘State’ and ‘individual’ are terms that are inseparable in a necessary synthesis.”
Fascism is a totalitarian,
culturally alternate modernist,
palingenetic ultranationalist and
third-positionist ideology. Fascism originates from the teachings of
Benito Mussolini and
Giovanni Gentile, 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 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".
Conceptions
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.
Sansepolcrismo ![](/images/Guildsoc.png)
Sansepolcrismo is a term which refers to the movement that came before fascism led by Benito Mussolini. The movement originated on March 23 1919 at Piazza San Sepolcro in Milan. The ideological basis was a
semi-socialist one, the movement presented itself as
progressive in the beginning with a very radical program.
The program declares the movement as
nationalist,
anti-imperialist and
syndicalist promoting the acceptance of the demands of the working class.
It is remarkable that initially the Fasci, according to Sansepolcro's program, were not properly
anti-democratic, indeed declaring as their fundamental principle democratic participation in "free elections".
In the Italian Social Republic some of the points of this program were brought up again even if they were never really applied.
Neo-Fascism ![](/images/Neonazi_ball.png)
![](/images/Fash21.png)
Neo-Fascism is a stupid liberal term redundant term that only exists on wikipedia. However, there are still a handful of people believing in Fascism in the 21st century.
Stefano Delle Chiaie ![](/images/NeoFash.png)
Stefano Delle Chiaie was an Italian neo-fascist terrorist. He was the founder of Avanguardia Nazionale, a member of Ordine Nuovo, and founder of Lega nazionalpopolare. Delle Chiaie started out by being involved in various political actions in Italy during the 1950s and 1960s, such as protesting against
Eisenhower's visit to Italy or fighting against the Italian Communist Party, and infiltrating and breaking up left-wing demonstrations. Delle Chiaie was known for his close affiliation with various
anti-communist dictators.
The Italian terrorist took part in former French army officer File:Guérin-Sérac.png Yves Guérin-Sérac's "Aginter Press", an anti-communist mercenary organization founded in
António de Oliveira Salazar's
Portugal in 1965. Delle Chiaie assisted former Italian navy commander Junio Valerio Borghese in the attempted 1970 coup d'atat Golpe Borghese against the Italian government. After the coup failed Delle Chiaie escaped to
Francoist Spain and met with future members of the GAL paramilitary group. Delle Chiaie actively participated in Operation Condor on behalf of US-backed military dictatorships in Latin America and worked for both
Augusto Pinochet's political police, the DINA,
the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (Triple A) and
Hugo Banzer's dictatorship in
Bolivia. He also took part in the 'Cocaine Coup' of 1980 that brought Bolivian military dictator
Luis García Meza to power.
During a 1997 hearing in Italy before the Commission on terrorism headed by senator Giovanni Pellegrino, Delle Chiaie spoke about a "black fascist International" and his hopes of creating the conditions of an "international revolution" and admitted to having taken part in the pan-nationalist New European Order (NOE) organization.
Stefano Delle Chiaie died on 10 September 2019, in Rome, Italy.
Distinct Iterations of Fascism
British Fascism
Falangism
JONSismo
Juche (Debatably)
Legionarism
Fascism as a Pejorative
Red Fascism ![](/images/Stalin.png)
Main article: Stalinism,
National Bolshevism and
Strasserism
"Red Fascism" is a pejorative term for communist regimes, used especially in the cold war, even though it had been before. The term's first appearance was coined by Italian archist essayist Luigi Fabbri, in which he claimed that the Bolsheviks would be red fascists and would use fascist methods against their opponents. The Marxists Franz Borkenau and Otto Rühle have also used this term, so much so that Otto Rühle stated that "the struggle against fascism must begin with the struggle against Bolshevism".
Subsequently, the term was further intensified against the Stalin government, especially for its totalitarianism, personality cult, imperialism, forced labor camps, and repression and genocides of some ethnic minorities. The accusations intensified after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, in which the Times claimed that "Hitlerism is brown communism, Stalinism is red fascism" and Mussolini praised Stalin at the time of the pact. Kurt Schumacher, a survivor of Nazi concentration camps, claimed that pro-communists were "red-painted Nazis".
This term was used a lot in the cold war, especially in various magazines and even with some socialists using this term, such as Norman Thomas. J. Edgar Hoover, former director of the FBI, has already made speeches that cited the term red fascism. Many anti-communists have already used it as a derogatory term against the USSR.
Even though it is a derogatory term, many Nazbols espouse both fascist and communist ideals, the most notable being Sven Olov Lindholm,
Gregor Strasser,
Nicola Bombacci and others.
Currently, the term is still used in a derogatory way used predominantly by rightists (non-fascists) and non-communist leftists.
Liberal Fascism ![](/images/Liberal_Fascism.png)
![](/images/thumb/LiberalFascismFlag.svg/220px-LiberalFascismFlag.svg.png)
The term "Liberal Fascism" was coined 2008 by Jonah Goldberg who explained that Fascism and Social Liberalism had the same root. 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
National Liberalism.
The term "Liberal Fascism" can also refer to the beliefs of Alberto de' Stefani, who was
Benito Mussolini's appointed Minister of Treasury and Finance of Italy from 1922 to 1925. As Treasury and Finance Minister, Stefani implemented
classical liberal economic policies such as free trade, tax cuts and privatization of businesses.
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.
Variants
Post Fascism
Post-fascism is a label that identifies political parties and movements that transition from a fascist political ideology to a more moderate and mainline form of conservatism, abandoning the totalitarian traits of fascism and taking part in constitutional politics.
Beliefs
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 and to rebirth the nation via National Palingenesis. 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.
Economic Third Positionism ![](/images/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. This corrupted ideal leads them to conclude that the only sound economic system is
Corporatism seeing as it as the only non-degenerate with no failures.
Social and Cultural Stance
Fascism can't be described as fully reactionary or revolutionary but rather a synthesis of Traditionalism and
Futurism's radical modernism. It calls for an alternative interpretation of modernism, different from the
Liberal one, with a bigger focus on technology, speed and violence. Fascism's views could also be described as a
Pragmatic combination of tradition and progress where it takes the "best parts" from both of them to
benefit the state and
rejuvenate the nation.
However, in the modern-day some neo-fascist movements want to seen as culturally reactionary to counter
western progressivism, which they believe is a form of
"Cultural Marxism". This is also common within
Alt-Right spaces. Although, this is only a façade and no fascist movements are actually
reactionary in policy.
Women's Rights and
Maternalism
The available evidence indicates that a significant number of early Italian feminists played a prominent role in the emergence of Fascism. Many of these feminists were actively involved in the activities of the squadristi, which were revolutionary shock groups. One notable example is Inés Donati, a young squadrista who joined the Italian Fasces of Combat, a group known for their violent clashes with communist militiamen. In 1921, Donati joined the Fascists for civil voluntary service and contributed to the propaganda efforts for Fascist candidates. She frequently faced attacks from anti-Fascist groups, demonstrating her remarkable fearlessness and resilience in the face of danger.
Donati, alongside a paramilitary group composed mostly of squadrismo members from Central Italy, successfully occupied the city of Rome during a large-scale Italian General Strike organized by anti-fascist forces. She actively participated in rescue operations and notably stood out as one of the few women who took part in the Fascist March on Rome. In 1923, she applied to join the paramilitary Blackshirts Voluntary Militia for National Security, which was formed that same year.
Mussolini said this about her:
"I have known of her fame for a long time and know that she is a fierce Italian, an indomitable fascist.” — Benito Mussolini quoted in Mussolini and fascist Italy by Martin Blinkhorn
In 1924, Inés Donati's health began to decline, and she tragically passed away at the age of 24 due to tuberculosis on November 3rd in Matelica. Her untimely death led to her being proclaimed a martyr by the Fascist party. In recognition of her significance, Donati's body was exhumed on March 23rd, 1933, and reburied at the Chapel of Heroes in the Verano cemetery in Rome. She became an emblem of youth and dedication. Furthermore, a health clinic in Matelica was dedicated to her in 1926. A bronze statue was also erected in her honor on October 17th, 1937. Sadly, during the partisan activities in 1944, the statue was removed.
In 1922, the International Feminist Congress took place in Rome, and it garnered the sponsorship of the National Fascist Party (PNF). Notably, Benito Mussolini himself attended the congress and delivered a speech endorsing the active political participation of women, thereby demonstrating a favorable stance toward women's involvement in politics.
Mussolini at the Feminist congress
On June 2nd, 1923, Benito Mussolini delivered a significant speech at the inaugural Women's Fascista Congress in Padua.
“Fascisti do not belong to the multitude of flops and sceptics who mean to belittle the social and political importance of women. What does the vote matter? You will have it! But even when women did not vote and did not wish to vote, in time past as in time present, women had always a preponderant influence in shaping the destinies of humanity. Thus the women of Fascism, who bravely wear the glorious “black shirt,” and gather around our standards, are destined to write a splendid page of history, to help, with self-sacrifice and deeds, Italian Fascism.” — Benito Mussolini, In Time Past As In Time Present, Woman Had Always a Preponderant Influence In Shaping The Destinies of Humanity
Fascism played a significant role in the formation of women-only groups known as the Women's Leagues. The first Women's League was established in Milan in 1919, and similar groups emerged shortly thereafter. The transformation of these feminist organizations into supporters of Fascism has been a topic that Italian historians have approached with caution. Prior to the rise of Fascism, women's issues were not a central focus of government policies. However, as early as 1919, the first Fascist manifesto of San Sepolcro, published in Il Popolo D'Italia, already pledged to grant women the right to vote. This promise attracted many feminists who subsequently aligned themselves with the Fascist movement.
Fascist manifesto of 1919
Once in power, Fascism swiftly fulfilled its promise of female emancipation by granting voting rights to women in 1925. Later that same year, the regime initiated the first reform of women's issues with the establishment of "The National Motherhood and Childhood Work." This organization aimed to provide support to mothers and children. In 1927, a campaign was launched to encourage increased birth rates. However, the comprehensive development of mass women's organizations had to be postponed until the early 1930s. Interestingly, one such organization that was promoted by the state was the "Association of Jewish Women of Italy."
To address women's desire for active participation and dedication to the national community, the regime embarked on a delicate balancing act between modernization and emancipation. After 1925, feminists redirected their efforts toward social volunteering and cultural activism, giving rise to a new nationwide feminine subculture. This new form of feminism came to be known as "healthy feminism" in contrast to what was perceived as "vain feminism." As a collective, feminists were generally enthusiastic about Fascism, with very few opposing it, mainly among conservative groups. However, these official women's groups have often been overlooked by historiography in favor of highlighting a narrative of anti-fascism, which portrays Fascism as inherently anti-woman due to its alleged adherence to traditionalism.
Fascism implemented a wide range of maternalistic policies, including the criminalization of abortion, protection and support for maternity, loans for married couples and newborns, career preferences for parents of large families, and the establishment of health and social assistance institutions for families and children.
This Fascist feminism is summarized by the Italian feminist Laura Casartelli:
“They were authentic for love of the homeland, a long humanitarianism and a lively social sentiment to spingere him to sympathize with the Fascist program of valorization of victory, of exaltation, of the national war." — Laura Casartelli quoted in Women and Fascism by Martin Blinkhorn
Valentine de Saint-Point, while not directly affiliated with Fascism, had associations with the Italian Futurist movement due to her involvement in European artistic movements. In 1912, she published the Manifesto of Futurist Women, which garnered significant attention and sparked discussions throughout Europe. Her feminist ideology, as outlined in the manifesto, focused on the liberation of female eroticism through the integration of masculine and feminine qualities into a unified entity. The impact of her writings was far-reaching, with translations widely circulated and women's roles becoming central to the debates within the Futurist movement. Over time, these ideas contributed to the idealization of women in Fascism, giving rise to the concept of Donna Fascista.
The concept of the ideal Fascist woman, known as Donna Fascista, was a unique and intriguing hybrid. She fulfilled her role within the family as a mother while simultaneously engaging in society and serving the interests of the Fascist State. This represented the essence of Fascist feminism. Unlike Liberal feminism, which aims to distance women from motherhood and promote their equal participation in traditionally male roles, Fascist feminism embraced and valued motherhood. It did not support abortion and did not view the family institution as an enemy. Therefore, it cannot be described as "liberating" from a Liberal perspective.
However, Fascist feminism did not gain prominence within the broader global feminist movement as it exists today. Its growth was hindered by the defeat of Fascism on the battlefield and by the stronger influence of Liberal feminism, which, along with the export of Marxist feminism, eventually paved the way for post-war gender feminism.
It is important to note that contemporary perspectives often view maternalist policies as unfavorable for women. However, Fascism held a contrasting belief, considering maternalism as a noble value to be revered and respected.
As for education it says this:
“Men and women are admitted to the competitions and qualification exams, with the exception of the competitions of classes IV, V limited to competitions for the technical institute VI and VII limited to the competitions for the classical high school and the scientific high school referred to in the attached table, which are reserved for men, and competitions and qualification exams for master gardener in teaching institutes, which are reserved for women.” — Article 11 of § 57.7.1 - R.D. December 9, 1926, n. 2480
The educational reform implemented during the Fascist era in Italy was highly unprecedented, particularly considering the country's deeply ingrained cultural conservatism. This period witnessed a notable emphasis on the significance of female sports, exemplified by the creation of women's youth organizations that operated alongside their male counterparts. Additionally, the establishment of the OMNI (Opera Nazionale Maternità e Infanzia) in 1925 further underscored the regime's commitment to supporting mothers and children in need. The OMNI specifically prioritized assistance to single mothers and remained active for a remarkable 50 years until 1975.
In 1936, Italian athlete Ondina Valla made history by becoming the first female Italian to secure an Olympic gold medal at the Berlin Olympic Games. Valla, affectionately known as "Little Wave," achieved this remarkable feat in the 80m hurdles event, notably setting a world record of 11.6 seconds during her semi-final performance. Her exceptional achievements positioned her as a role model among Italian youth.
Additionally, during the war, a significant number of women joined the Female Auxiliary Service, dedicating themselves to various essential roles in support of the war effort. This further exemplified the active participation and contributions of women during this period.
Imperialism
It is common, though it is 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 Fascist Italy taking over Ethiopia and Albania, and the Nazi Germany taking over most of Europe. These goals were brought 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 desire to gain more land. Sometimes both can be used as a justification, like in Germany, where the idea of Lebensraum ran rampant.
Totalitarianism
One of the main features of fascism is totalitarianism; the state having all aspects in society. Fascism doesn't see totalitarianism as just a tool, but rather an end in and off itself. This belief comes from Giovanni Gentile's neo-Hegelian philosophy which sees the state as the ultimate realization of the "geist". Despite common misconceptions, fascism sees itself as fundamentally democratic as it believes that "the state is the people and the people are the state".
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.
Views on Race & Ethnicity ![](/images/Ethnonat.png)
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) is not primarily focused on race or ethnicity, and instead is based more so around Cultural Nationalism and the ties that individuals have to the nation state.
However, post-1938, Fascist Italy accepted racist theories and began to institute anti-Semitic and anti-black racial legislations. This can be attributed to the influence of the alliance with Nazi Germany on Fascist Italy. Just ignore the fact that western countries also had similar legislation in place.
Views on LGBT
More Classical variants of Fascism have very similar views on gays & most of LGBT+ Community to that of Nazism, meaning that they often hold rather critical views of such people publicly as a way to attack progressive opponents, while allowing such relations secretly to loyalists.[9]
Some Neo-fascists, such as
CasaPound Italia, have embraced a pro-LGBT stance however. The combination of fascist ideas with the acceptance of homosexuality, or LGBT people more broadly, is called
Homofascism.
Criticism
Fascism is often seen as contradictory by both leftists and rightists because of its opposition to both Liberalism &
Marxism-Leninism, so most leftists claim that
fascism is a
capitalist ideology, whereas many rightists claim that
fascism is a leftist ideology, however, neither of these are correct.

Camerati
Caesarism - Friend from the Roman times. I'm the modern version of you.
Totalitarianism - My father who taught me how to govern the nation.
Autocracy - E per Benito Mussolini, eja eja alalà!
Corporatism - My beloved economic model.
Illiberal Democracy - Contrary to what those shitlibs say, I’m actually supportive of democracy: “The nationalist state was an aristocratic state, enforcing itself upon the masses through the power conferred upon by its origins. The fascist state, on the contrary, is a popular state, and as such, a democratic state par excellence.” - Giovanni Gentile
National Syndicalism - I was originally one of you and still integrated many of your ideas.
Cultural Nationalism - Exalting my nation and my culture is essential for the strengthening of the country.
Police Statism - Gotta love the OVRA!
Keynesian School - <<Fascism entirely agrees with Mr. Maynard Keynes, despite the latter's prominent position as a Liberal. In fact, Mr. Keynes' excellent little book, The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.>>[10]
Clerical Fascism - My more openly Christian son.
But can you turn down the Franco stanning, please?Futurism - I was directly inspired by you, and I really love your art!
Please ignore that I compromised with the reactionaries, it’s necessary, I swear!Eco-Fascism - My son who loves the environment.
Austrofascism - My Austrian friend, though he’s a bit too tradcath for my tastes.
Falangism - My good friend who adapted my doctrine well to the Spanish nation. Well, José Antonio was kind of a dick for trying to reject me but at least he was fascist in everything else but name.
Irredentism - We must retake our rightful lands!
Welfare Chauvinism - Ensuring the people's welfare by means of unitary nationalism is one of my goals.
Alt-Right - Modern online supporters. Keep posting those
memes! But I'm not a right-wing ideology. Some of you can also be quite... weird, to say the least.
Enlightenment Thought - While the notion of liberty may be cringe as fuck, you and the French Revolution was a necessary step in history for the creation of the modern nation-state I know and love.
Bismarckism - <<[...] The victorious one is Bismarck, who never knew where the religion of freedom was based and which prophets it used. It is symptomatic that a people of high civilization, like the German people, completely ignored, throughout the entire XIX century, the religion of freedom. [...] Germany achieved its national unity outside of liberalism, against liberalism, a doctrine that seems alien to the German soul, an essentially monarchical soul, while liberalism is the historical and logical antechamber of anarchy.>>[11]
Dubbiosi
Catholic Theocracy -The fascist State fully claims its ethical character: it is Catholic, but it is fascist, indeed above all exclusively, essentially fascist. Catholicism integrates it, and we declare it openly, but let nobody think, under the philosophical or metaphysical species, of changing the cards on the table.>> Benito Mussolini, "Scritti e Discorsi", vol. VII, pp. 104-105.
Esoteric Fascism - Can you stop calling me a "christcuck"? And wtf is this Jewish souls business? Please take your meds.
Islamic Theocracy - I would grant you religious freedom if you promise that your people do not come to my country in mass.
Though, they did gave me the title of "Protector of Islam"Socialism - For the last time, YES, I’M A FUCKING SOCIALIST. ADMIT IT ALREADY!
Marxism-Leninism - Materialist commie prick, but at least you seem to be more sensible than the other marxists.
We also have some ideological similarities but please ignore that.National Socialism - We were allies during the second world war, though you kinda ruined my name, and now everyone thinks you’re me… What the hell do you mean that the state is only a means to an end?!
Showa Statism - Same as above, we were allies, but you’re a monarchist.
Anchovy my belovedState Capitalism - Statocracy is great but I don't think we have the same definition of it. We also both like nationalizing industries, albeit for different reasons.
Anarcho-Fascism - Son, are you serious? How can you have "everything within the state" without a state? This just looks like LARP.
Monarcho-Fascism - Okay son, can you tell me why you want to preserve the reactionary system that directly backstabbed our cause and is frankly only holding our nation back?
Social Authoritarianism - Authpilled Succdem; can be nice with a few changes here and there. A shame many of you hate me. Also, contrary to anti-fascist propaganda, I absolutely abhor
Giolitti and never was his puppet.
Racial Nationalism and
White Nationalism - "Race! It is a feeling, not a reality; ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing can make me believe that biologically pure races currently exist."
Don't bring up my racial laws, which I only created to ingratiate myself with GermanyStratocracy - You advised me to enter a war I couldn't win, then switched side, asshole! But then I wouldn't exist without you.
Strasserism - An acquaintance of mine, but what's up with Otto? Gregor was the better sibling anyways..
Secularism - In my opinion, theocracy is reactionary, but secularism is also foolish because the country's religion and faith must be in politics, otherwise, the nation's motivation and resistance will be greatly reduced. A true fascist is neither theocratic nor secular.
Nemici d'Italia
Marxism - THE BIGGEST ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
Liberalism - Aren't you just
communism again?! And your mostly elitists that don't care for the nations interests.
Classical Liberalism - Obsolete and prone to degeneracy, you're the reason Italy was in such a deplorable state after WW1! But we were temporarily allies to defeat
them.
National Liberalism - Rebranded liberalism is still liberalism, stupid!
Reactionaryism - "History does not travel backwards. The Fascist doctrine has not taken De Maistre as its prophet. Monarchical absolutism is of the past, and so is ecclesiolatry. Dead and done for are feudal privileges and the division of society into closed, uncommunicating castes."
At least we both like the Roman Empire and oppose hippie garbageReactionary Liberalism - Obsolete conservative bourgeoisie.
Francoism - FUCK YOU FRANCO, YOU TRAITOR! I backed you against the republicans, but you betrayed the Falangists and eventually would embrace liberal economics for
them
!
Salazarism - You’re no better than
him, you purged the national syndicalists in his country, and denounced me and called me a pagan!
Kleptocracy and
Illegalism - I wish I was successful in getting rid of you.
Anti-Fascism - BRING IT ON MOTHERFUCKER!
Progressivism - You don't understand what true progress should look like.
Revolutionary Progressivism - Same as above.
Capitalism - Degenerates who want to make everything controlled by bankers who hate the nation.
Pinochetism - How can you call yourself a nationalist when you sold your country out to them
them
?!
Anarchism - All her children are degenerates, especially when it comes to
him!
Be grateful I translated Kropotkin's degenerate works into my glorious language! And also, people like to say that I’m you for some reason?!Constitutional Monarchism - You're a traitor for surrendering to the Allies!
Anarcho-Pacifism - Blood alone moves the wheel of history.
Titoism - FUCK YOU TITO, I’M NOT GOING BACK IN THE PIT!
State Oriental Orthodoxy - We colonized you, admit it and stop crying.
Social Democracy - A liberal retard with no spine, nothing more to say.
I don’t know why all of the marxists say that I’m you, the fuck?National Communism and
National Capitalism - Two living contradictions.
State Liberalism - Supercapitalism, culture destruction, and globalism? DIE!
Supercapitalism - «At this stage, supercapitalism finds its inspiration and its justification in a utopia: the utopia of unlimited consumption. 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».
Freemasonry - You know what? I take back what I said about
him. YOU'RE THE WORST ENEMY NOT ONLY OF OUR CIVILIZATION, BUT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD!
