Tell me what is wrong with Fascism as I practice it!

[Matthew Mussolini]

What is wrong with this place and what's wrong with my practice of Fascism?

As a Shinto I believe you have to love bad Kami. I love Joseph Stalin, Mao, and Paul Pot , despite them being my least favorite people in history.

The Duce wasn't like them. He had a big heart, he just struggled with fighting and stabbing people in school and wanted to be Holy Roman Emperor (Caesar) of a revived 20th Century Roman Empire that was an antibolshivek block. I could totally do that when bombarded by German propaganda, but I know I don't like people to suffer. I literally would believe I was easing suffering.

I would love to be Caesar and resurrect the Roman Empire. Does that mean I'm all bad and have no compassion?. I'm bad sometimes, apologize usually when wrong, and am deeply compassionate. But it would be very difficult for me to not have Communists comfortably put out of their misery, were I in charge. That just seems like the compassionate thing to do for humanity. Killing Communists saves lives.

But I'd rather be just. I have demons that get the best of me at times. So did the Duce. I believe we help each other rehabilitate and evolve.

My Fascism is simple, I accept Jesus as my savior, his crucifixion atones for my sins, I pray to a Holy Roman Empire of Angels , Kami, and Saints, and I accept Benito the butterfly as my Caesar, whose public desecration upside down atones for my sins in union with the suffering and death of the King of the Jews.

Mussolini made Saint Francis of Assisi patron Saint of Italy. His favorite visitor was Gandhi. Such a person cant be totally evil.

Yes, I long for a revival of the Roman Empire , and I long for it to be a Theocracy where every home burns a candle before an image of the Duce!


But I want people to be happy, not force things on them.

I rise in the morning, salute Mussolini and the holy Roman Empire, and do little things for them with great love.

That is truly Fascism as I practice it. I keep many shrines to dead people. What on earth is harming anyone to do that?

This is my wall filled with Fascist manifestos and letters to the Duce and his wife:

Self-pity is not only unfascistic, but it's catnip to us snarkers. Just sayin'.

 

[abaddon]

A private fascism?

The problem is it's a joke. You seem to be trying for a sense of purpose and meaning in your life, and you achieved joke-ness.

Fascism makes sense only as a political movement. To understand your quasi-religious private version of it requires a study of you personally. It's very presumptuous that you present "Here I am, study me and talk about me!"

So my answer to your OP's question is it's too solitary a case of zaniness and therefore lacks interest compared with actual religious movements.

I offer this advice: Present less "as I practice it" and offer more claims about subjects we all share knowledge of. If anyone critiques fascism as it's widely understood, they're likely to get "ah, but not MY fascism!" And that's a cheat. It's boring to engage in discussion and find the person is too self-involved to talk about shared realities and is only going on about himself.

Actually, i pity the average person more than myself.


No self pity here.

Matthew Mussolini, you owe us some clear goal posts before we take aim.

Wikipedia - "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe"

Can you give yes or no to your personal agreement with the following?

Sovereign (ultra) Nationalism. Y/N/?
Democracy. Y/N/?
Free speech for your ideological opponent. Y/N/?
Physical force - violence. Might makes right...end justifies the means. Y/N/?

Dont need arguments...YouTubes, gifs, manifestos.
Just yes or No or ? Undecided...Can't give yes or no.

This is the definition of Fascism:
http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Germany/mussolini.htm

I personally believe we need a pretty girl who is an eternal teen and kind but gentle, who knows what's best for society, mothering us as an absolute monarch, a Duce, yes to nationalism, no to Democracy, nobody speaks against the regime so as to not harm fervor or unity, violence used only when it can relieve more suffering in the end.

What your dictionary is ignoring is that Fascism is a religion and a religious concept said it's founder.

 

[Lion IRC]

OK
But can you answer yes or no to those questions?
If it's nuanced or not as simple as yes or no, that's fine.
Im not fussed what dictionary definition you recommend.

REJECTION OF PACIFISM - yes/no/can't answer ?
REJECTION OF DEMOCRACY - yes/no/can't answer ?
SUPPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH - yes/no/can't answer ?

So very strange to be in full agreement with Lion IRC. Maybe I need more wine...

And talk about a very weird quote: "But I want people to be happy, not force things on them." ...but into fascism...WTF?

Yeah, like, he'd force me to keep my penis, he'd force my husband to not be my husband, he'd force my husband to stop drawing (very sexy, kinky AF art), he'd force me to not express myself as the wizard I am, he'd do all sorts of forcing, and most of it in the bedroom.

The only force I allow in the bedroom is when safe words are in play!

Anyway, this thread is General Religion, not Generalisimo Religion. (You're welcome.)

I already answered.

When it can relieve more suffering in our world, I believe in all such ideas, and when it causes more suffering I reject it.

When union soldiers invaded the Confederate states, they caused a lot of pain and suffering, but it was necessary to do so. So I'm not a pacifist.

 

[Matthew Mussolini]

I believe wise Spiritual entities ideally anoint the right leader and that he/she be a benevolent Dictator.

I want all people to freely choose Fascism as the thing that makes them euphoric and orgasmic!

You don't get to decide what, for me, constitutes "suffering". That is the entire problem here. You and your fascist crew busting in through the walls and telling me that the life that is bringing me joy is "suffering". If seeing me live my life with joy makes YOU suffer, if that's what you're talking about, then that's really fucked up, mister.

If you want to claim my life makes others suffer, you have another thing coming. I do not rape. I do not steal. I have not killed, and am glad of it. But you would rape me of my very gender, steal my altar, probably kill me for my eccentricities.

This is not love you offer.

And if they don't 'freely choose' believing that other governmental forms or individualism is preferable and that fascism is oppressive then what? Force them, send them to 're-education' camps, imprison them, kill them?

So it seems that there are no wise 'Spiritual entities'...

Either that, or you seem to live in a world where everything is made up and the meaning of words don't matter...with tasty lollypops and Unicorns farting rainbows.
