Equestrian Territories wrote:I recently visited the website of the now-disbanded Fascist Party of America. Fascism is most commonly associated with Nazism, even though the two concepts don't go hand-in-hand. However, there are some neat aspects to the fascist ideology: state before self, regulated (but free) market, healthy nationalist pride, etc.
So, what's everyone's take on the matter? Is fascism a system of oppression or liberation? Could it survive and thrive in a modern nation, or is it doomed to remain a relic of bygone ages? Is it a guiding beacon of what a state could be, or is it an ugly reminder of what it is only a few bad days away from becoming?

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

History consistently shows that all ideologies ever implemented in practice begin with the best of intents and then sooner or later eventually devolve into cesspools of shit and piss. Power corrupts, I guess... Universally.
