Ok heres the deal. There are so many mock/aspiring political parties on Armor Games. Iv'e seen Communist Party, Conservative Party etc But I've yet to see a Fascist one. ( If there is one, well my apologies).
Now moving on to why Im a supporter of Fascism. I don't mean the kind where anti-semitics go around killing innocent Jews. I'm talking Fascism Franco and Mussolini style. Intense nationalism, control of the people (after all, all governments do don't they?), and military might to show you mean business. All the pomp and grandeaur. Oh and censorship of unwanted political material. ( Trust me all forms of government do it in one way or another.) And best of all, Capitalism is accpeted and embraced.
Now I don't want to be labelled a Nazi lover or an intense anti-semitic. In fact I respect them, for all the suffering they have been true and their courage. I believe in equality for all races, except the Martians. Oh yeah and Adam Sandler always cracks me up. To clarify, Fascism does not equal to anti-semitism or hatred of any other race. Hitler hated non-Aryans but Hitler does not equal to Fascism. Mussolini was the founder of modern Fascism.
So if there is no mock up 'Fascist party' on AG I'll create one. If this post does not belong here, scrap it and I'll post it on the tavern.
Anyone offended by this material especially Germans, I do not want hatemail/insults/death threats etc. I am not aiming in creating a Fourth Reich or start a mass genocide.
Ok this is Mussolini's Party Programwhen he formed the Party.
-Lowering the minimum voting age to eighteen, the minimum age for representives to twenty-five, and universal suffrage, including for women.
-Repeal of titles of nobility.
-A minimum wage.
-Reform of the old-age and pension system and the establishment of age limits for hazardous work.
0The prompt enactment of a state law sanctioning a legal workday of eight actual hours of work for all workers.
Hmm, so these child-labouring, anti-elitist, public-health promoting people are too harsh?
And I do love my country, the things I love in life are my family, school, the country and food. I do not feel that Nationalism always lead to racism, look at Italy or Brazil as examples. Nationalism does not slow a country, it gives your countrymen a sense of pride for something that they can call collectively their own. It boosts their morale, not make them over-puffed ego inflated ignorant people.
Nationalism leads to racism, leads to hate, leads to death.
Indeed. Nationalism, in its purest form, means people only living with their own ethnic groups. A kind of ultra self determination. Of course this would lead to racism.

Loving your country and nationalism are not the same thing. Loving your country is patriotism. Nationalism is believing that ethnic groups should live separately from each other in their own states, because mixing of these groups leads to conflict. Look at Britian, there is a very strong sense of patriotism, however there is a diverse ethnic mix of people that live here. You can be patriotic without beng nationalistic.

Ever heard of the liberal reforms? These things all came about 30 years earlier in Britian, in addition, these characteristics are not exclusive to fascism, so they cannot be cited as a reason for why fascism is a good ideology, especially considering the imperialist powers you seem to despise so much instigated them years beforehand.
I know that some countries did instigate them before germany/Italy, the point was to show the good side of Fascism. And if nationalism does breed animosity kindly explain why Mussolini believed that all the hype over race was useless and meaningless, the state comes first. And if we take this to be true, that nationalism can refer to a state being superior, then it can be true. Look at first world and third world countries. Which is superior?
Because he followed German's policy, became their puppet. And then handed over Jews. Duh!
He didn't really have achoice. While the descision was still in his hands Italy and the Italian held area of France was a Jewish safe haven. After Italy joined the Allies side the Germans took it over. It wasn;t his policy, but Hitler's.
yes so you can't really blame Benito for his actions due to the pressure of Hitler. And his army. And Im not trying to defend Hitler here, no one can doubt he was a misguided anti-semitic. But what most people miss out on is the other Fascist leaders, like Mussolini who was the father of Fascism.

Mussolini still, rather enthusiastically invaded Greece killing many, without the aid of Hitler. Only after the Italians were beaten back did Hitler. Stop making him out to be a helpless victim of Hitler. His negatives far outweighed his positives.
And the Allies did happily invaded foreigner countries to plant colonies which are just big fat lands to exploit. Their people benefited but there were alot more unhappy, Africans, Arabs, meso-Americans, Asians etc,etc.

They did it in a much smaller scale, for 5 years rather than 500 years.
In that 5 years they caused more damage than the colonial powers did in 500 years, by starting WW2 which resulted in millions of deaths. The nationalistic aggression displayed by the Axis powers were a decisive factor.
Plus if you say wikipedia is trusted, then look up nationalism there.
The wiki definition is pretty spot on actually, notice the emphasis on self determination.
And notice civic nationalism. And cultural nationalism. And the statement that not all nationalism leads to racism. And you skimped on the point that the Allies defended my country not for democracy.
