Fascism! What is it?

Knowledge

The Regime is saying that Saturday's No King's Day is ANTIFA and haters of America. NOT true, of course.

ANTIFA is not an organization or a group. It has no leader. It simply means to be against fascism.

I'm not sure why the Regime is upset that people are against fascism. Is it because they are fascists?

If you don't know what fascism is, I've detailed it down below with the help of AI.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology defined by a dictatorial leader, the forced suppression of opposition, and the subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or a specific race. The term was first used in 1915 by supporters of Benito Mussolini.

Key characteristics of fascism ...

Though specific beliefs can differ between movements, fascism is generally characterized by several core principles:

Extreme nationalism: A fervent and intense national pride, prioritizing the interests and unity of the nation above all else. Fascist ideology often includes notions of racial or ethnic superiority.

Dictatorial leadership: Power is concentrated under a single "infallible" leader who maintains control through a cult of personality, propaganda, and strong regimentation of society.

Suppression of opposition: Fascist regimes use violent and forceful methods to eliminate political enemies, silence criticism, and suppress dissent. There is no tolerance for disagreement.

Militarism: Fascism glorifies military strength and war. It relies on the military and paramilitary groups to enforce its power both domestically and through external expansion.

Anti-democratic and anti-liberal: Fascism rejects fundamental liberal democratic principles, such as individual rights, pluralism, and competitive elections.

Controlled economy: While often aligning with powerful business interests, fascist governments impose stringent state controls over labor, industry, and commerce.

Emphasis on hierarchy: Fascism promotes the idea of a natural social hierarchy, where certain elites are entitled to rule and lead.

Origins and examples ...

Origins: The name "fascism" comes from the Italian word fascio, meaning "bundle" or "sheath," which referred to the fasces, a bundle of rods carried by officials in ancient Rome as a symbol of authority. Benito Mussolini established the first fascist regime in Italy in the 1920s.

Examples: Examples of fascist regimes in the 20th century include Mussolini's Italy and Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany. These movements often emerged as a reaction against liberalism and communism during periods of social and economic crisis.

I hope this clears things up just in case you were confused.

Thanks for posting this summary. Newer generations don't know this history, they don't study its roots, its implications, or its outcomes. So many young men today are enamored with the power display of fascism. It's macho, hard, and aggressive—everything they idealize in other men. They will change their minds, though, once they get drafted into an ugly war.

Thanks for that information; very clear and concise. ANTIFA means anti-fascist. Our Constitution is anti-fascist; therefore, America, as a nation, is ANTIFA.
