Idealism and Fascism
Idealism and Fascism
The thread WILL NOT dig itself into explaining the point of view of different Idealist philosophers nor jump around the thousands of writings regarding the topic. My objective is to give an overall explanation of Idealism as a whole, and its importance on the Fascist worldview.
Idealism in the philosophical understanding of the world, is the denial of the existence of the material world with the proposal that everything we see and experience is an Idea, that is, a mental experience. There's no material world beyond our ideas, nothing but ideas.
The ground in which this philosophic POV stands is that every experience we have is a Qualia, that is, a mental experience, since we are unable to interpret, see, touch, feel, etc. Without our experiences (Qualias), the world around us is nothing but Ideal Matter, that is...
a material world consiting of Ideas that merely exists within our experiences. The impossiblity of proving the existence of a world asides from our mental experiences is confirmed by the fact one cannot experiment nor see things without one's Qualias, thus...
the scientific method, the argument that brain is made of matter, getting hit, etc. All of the usual materialist arguments are explained by the mere fact that in our reality, everything you see, feel, experiment, is a Qualia. Thus, you cannot escape Ideas as...
a way to understand the way our world is constituted.
The usual straw man for the argument I just made is claiming that if that were to be true, then that means we should be able to mold the world an individual's ideas, although that is a very extreme branch of...

Idealism called Solipsism, truth of the matter is that the argument Idealists make is that the material world that exists is an Ideal world, and the material is nothing but mental matter to which we all belong to.
Now that we got that out of the way, people can ask "Ok then, what world are we in, how do we share experiences and why do we see the same things at the same time". The answer is easy, look at it as if it was a Website you join, both you and another user are seeing...
the same thing on the Website's server, both experience it differently, and yet the Website is there after being conceived by its creator. Users can join and go as time goes on, and yet it is still there, thus, for an Idealist, the existence of a God that conceives the ideal...
world we live in is actually required. The usual view that one can be an Atheist and a romanticist is really a stretch and a schizophrenic way of understanding atheism and its implications.
The atheists that join Fascism and claim to see the beauty of life and ideas etc...
The atheists that join Fascism and claim to see the beauty of life and ideas etc...
are what I call Romantic Atheists, they are unable to see the implication of their beliefs. If one really sums down atheism, it's nothing but a materialist point of view with an indirect fatalist view of the progress of humanity. BEWARE however, since I am...
not saying atheists believe this, of course most dont, and that's why I'm making the case that they should in order to be coherent with their beliefs and fully engage in the implications of their theory's proposal. An atheist that recognizes the materialist fatalism...
of their beliefs is more ideologically consistent than the ones that supports human rights, fascism or other type of romantic views of life. If most atheists were truly engaged in atheism, they would have to recognize their inherent materialist fatalism.
The belief that we were not conceived by a higher being with a level of spirituality and we are mere random material entities going around the universe with no purpose whatsoever but the one we set for ourselves while being tied to...
what the "raw soulless" universe wants (which will "eventually destroy us"), leads to no trascendence in our actions and makes everything futile, since after all, we will just die and become dirt. We are all just matter moving around randomly...
having our lifes directed by the material world regardless of our ideas and mental experiences.
The Idealist point of view promotes the idea that we are minds experiencing this world created in a Top-Down way, that is, you must think the totality of what you want to do in your..

brain to then start making it, thus the necessity of a God or creator as a whole, be it a religion, natural law or the university itself, is a requirement for idealism.

the possiblity of the material influencing the reality of men, since it is men themselves that impose their ideas on the world, regardless of the "material conditions".

everything they see, experience, experiment, feel, touch, is nothing but a Qualia engaged with their brain (which can only exist within the mental experience of us). The day they demonstrate that their unreasonable belief in a Material world, will never arrive.
The End.
The End.
