Time for a thread after a good hiatus.

The Youthful Death of Fascism

It is often considered that since Fascism lost the war, it must therefore be an invalid ideology that failed its premises. After all, engaging in the major conflict on the history of humanity and having a massive coalition against you, showcases how insignificant it was.

Reality of the matter is that, the collapse of Fascism, makes it a worthy ideal. Its existence, although short, displayed the inner beauty of the ideology and enabled it to put in full displaym the possibilities that its praxis had to offer. We must realize...

that we only got to see the times where the ideology got to shine, along its first and only struggle for existence. Unlike Capitalism and Communism, systems that degenerated themselves; One is near collapse, the other collapsed.

Fascism on the other hand always had a youthful ending, we never got to see the degeneration of any Fascist system. All we saw was a beautiful short lived regime, that although killed by the sword, showcased the worthyness of its cause.

As many within the lines of Fascism propose, the ideal of dying beautiful should be among the beliefs of Fascists themselves. Not growing old and weak, but instead, achieving your own apotheosis to then embrace your ending. As Mussolini would say...

"He who fears death has never lived, and I have lived, perhaps even too much. Life is nothing more than an intersection between two eternities: the past and the future. As long as my star shone, I was enough for all. Now that it fades, everybody is not enough for me"

Others such as Goebbels, had a way of describing such a belief:

"If the day should ever come when we must go, if some day we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction"

By losing the war, Fascism won what's often unachievable. It brought the triumph of the ideal among a few individuals, that get to experience the benefits of the philosophy in their person. Even if no political victory is possible, Fascism as a Way of Life is still plausible.

We must remind ourselves, we are talking of a Philosophy of Life that has interests in Politics, not the other way around. Fascism is a method for politics, that can also very well be applied to your personal or communal life.

What's to be done nowadays depends on the individual, some may try a political victory, others may focus on improving their person/community. It's all a battle for the self, all within the confines of what we are able to do for ourselves and our loved ones.

It is now, after defeat, that we have to prove ourselves. The darkest hour always brings the brightest hour. Now that Fascism has been kicked out of the political scene, we must prove that such an ideology brings light upon men, not more darkness.

The """Fascists""" that go around being a bunch of stereotypes for the media to feed upon, are nothing else but a waste that have to be laughed at. Change starts within yourself to become a living embodiment of the Philosophy you preach.

Other ideologies or approaches don't require you to be constantly pushing yourself forward, Fascism does.

It's Ok if you're Fat and a Fascist, it's Ok if you're Weak and a Fascist, etc.

INSOFAR, as you're working to change/improve that, and grow as a person.

At the end of the day, by embracing Fascism, we've granted the Philosophy one more victory. Us, as individuals, have granted Fascism the triumph of the ideal by the mere act of embracing such a thing in the modern world.

The End.
