His emphasis of collectivism, rising people’s ethical values, and awareness of others rather than their own suffrage. Fascism was also encouraged violence rather than being a coward, a pacifist in the face of war. Thus, recognizing how dangerous can an authoritative ideological governmental system can be without limitations can bring great analysis through the lens of the historian to compare ideological system identifying flaws between each…
Within the twentieth century, various totalitarian regimes had taken control in countries across the globe. Germany’s Adolf Hitler and Italy’s Benito Mussolini gained power from their country’s political imbalance and financial struggles after WWI and through their citizen’s desperation and wounded nationalism. Germany, in particular, was entirely blamed for WWI and had to carry out the economic consequences by itself because of the Treaty of Versailles. Cuba and Russia’s fascist governments were established through violent means: Fidel Castro launched a coup d'etat in 1959 and Stalin eliminated all of his opposers in order to win through “elections”.…
Traditional values are defined as beliefs and moral codes that are passed down from generation to generation within a culture, subculture or community. When thinking of traditional values one thinks about religion, marriage, schooling, and overall the mores of a family. Fascism relies on these values and controls them in any way possible. The government controls every aspect of your life and of society. They impose strict regulations on businesses and on the family life.…
Their goal and desire was to restore and expand Italian territories, which Italian Fascists deemed necessary for a nation…
There Is no clear cut way to distinguish a Fascist ideology because it has no foundational text, no founding thinker and no specific set of ideas. However, there are a few direct…
In which way are the studies carried out by Adorno (1950) et al. and Allum (2011) linked? The reason why this is an interesting question is that it provides a measure of how much Adorno's studies have profoundly influenced not only the sociology of his time and the classical studies, but are still capable of provoking a reflection that can find an expressive space in the contemporary psychosocial context. Allum has in fact used part of Adorno’s theory to explain why people believe in unscientific information such as astrology. The two studies might seem profoundly different, a time gap of three generations separates the two together with disparity in reach and resonance, a question on human evil is juxtaposed with astrological superstition, but both share conceptual and methodological constructs.…
The Fascists consisted of the Germans and Italians, while the Communists consisted of the Soviet Union, which now is modern day Russia. Even Though they hate each other, both have ideas that make them similar, but for the most part different. The Fascists and Communists had a fear for each…
Firstly, Mussolini’s party and promises appealed more to the rich, as socialism in Italy was gaining more ground and they feared a Bolshevik-style revolution as seen in Russia in previous years. When the upper class saw how easily Mussolini’s combat squads crushed the workers’ movement in 1919, they, the government, and prominent politicians were quick to praise and thank Mussolini, especially financially. This helped the Fascists appear more respectable to the Italian public and Mussolini’s image as Italy’s saviour was bolstered. Hitler, on the other hand, appealed more towards the middle and lower class of the Weimar Republic. This was because Hitler stepped in at a desperate time for the people of the Weimar Republic; the Great Depression had begun and many people were living in poverty and were unable to afford their basic necessities.…
The interwar years in Europe was the perfect environment for Communism, Fascism and Nazism to come to fruition, as a result of growing resentment and unhealed wounds from World War One. Dictators took power because of the failure of capitalistic and liberal ideologies. The rise of Communism, fascism and Nazism occurred under the respective leadership of Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. These individuals had differing approaches to accomplish their goals. But gist of their ideas is similar.…
"Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism" - Benito Mussolini Whether or not Fascism was seen and followed as a religion is debatable, however there is no denying that the twentieth century is famously known as the birth and progression of the fascist movement. Having originated in the twentieth century and spreading from its place of origin, in Italy, to other countries such as Germany, Romania, and Hungary, certain conditions which led to the fascist movement were apparent in some countries and weak in others. This paper will analyze significant events and aspects of Germany, Italy, Romania, and Hungary in order to convince the reader that Paxton 's argument in which…
Political scientist Karl Dietrich Bracher has hypothesized the goal of the national fascist state is “to embody people ’s awakened political consciousness” under the idea of “self-determination for all nations”. This idea is seen in the deep connection between fascist movements and nationalism. The end goal of fascist governments, setting aside authoritarian political takeover and socio-economic control, is for a unified nationalist body that can effectively spread homogenous culture abroad. These movements call for a “nationalization an socialization of the masses …a clearly visible comprehensive alternative to the international socialism of the Marxists…” .…
I thought the articles were interesting when I first read through them. In the article, “What is Fascism,” demonstrated the definition of Fascism through the view point of Mussolini in 1932. He states how Fascism has a spiritual view on life. “Fascism now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism” (Halsall). I thought that was interesting to view Fascism as a spiritual sense because that form of government is a controlling dictatorship.…
The interwar period was one of the most instable political period in history. Many at the time strived for nationalism. With fascism being introduced as a ‘third way’. Fascism was seen to opposed to other ideologies that are seen as ‘weak’, such as liberalism and communism. It arose as an alternative ideology to liberalism and communism.…
Firstly, a fascist group has a single ruler or dictator that has control over the system. Secondly, a fascist group has very strong beliefs in national agenda and focuses on control over a society. Thirdly, a fascist organisation has a fear of other people and believes their race is superior. Fascism was prominent in the Second World War across…
Have you ever felt like you are being fascist? I think you have felt this feeling at least once in your life. If you are saying that you have never been a fascist, you cannot consider me as a fascist person, you cannot even use my name with fascism… You are probably lying. If you are still thinking that you have no connection with fascism, then I can give an example that most of the Robert College students are faced with.…
