People tend to use this word as a synonym to “everything bad”, but it’s not its actual meaning. Fascism is a one of totalitarian ideologies, that has racism in its core. We’ll have a separate post for racism, but its idea revolves around the natural superiority of one race over all “others,” leading to the belief that all “others” should either be eliminated or enslaved.

Natural superiority means it comes from nature, so once being born you can do abolutely nothing to change it.

Paradoxically, fascism did not originate from uneducated savages, but rather from respectable and intelligent professors.

    they seem to emphasize many times that it’s particular to Nazism. Nation is at the core of fascism, still to day, and not racism.

    National state! See how all those fascists hate EU

    this is simple and clear:

    “the ‘cleansing’ of all those deemed not to belong – foreigners, ethnic minorities, ‘undesirables’” and belief in its own nation’s superiority

    that last notion too is being transformed, i believe. Fascists from different nations seem to get along well as equals against their common designated enemies

    or maybe fascism too became just another product. They are serving the needs of those who prefer to hate and make their money from this performance 🤷
