Nationalism does not always equate to racism, sometimes yes, but not always, there's the concept of Nationalism as race and ethnicity and then the concept of Nationalism as a nation, like I am a Canadian citizen but I am ethnically a Russia/German/Pole/Hungarian, in a fascist Canada every citizen would consider themselves a Canadian and cheer for Canada and work towards making Canada a great country, now obviously it's hard to become say a Switzerland but it's good to have a high goal like that. |
Your joking right? If you are trying to dominate a country you don't beat a person for littering but you do beat a person for thinking anything negative against the system you live in. While all hype is that a facist government is evil it is only evil against the perogatives of the dictator in charge. To motivate a peoples like Hitler did it needs a target segregation. No one really liked the Jews because of their economic stance so they were a good option to draw upon and the Nazi's did. Facism needs a target or a severe suppression. The problem with severe suppression is that it builds enemies within... those that can sufficiently succeed the dictator placing itself in charge or their is a field of resistance inside that builds power. So Hitler did the smart thing and made an outside enemy.
Facism is simply a selfish answer to a fearful person.
