Fascism is the most short sighted ideology on the planet. It exists in the moment, violently, like an animal of the lowest orders of intelligence. The past? Rewritten to serve the present. The future? An abstraction, useless beyond the moment.
So yeah Fascism totally would have embraced a virus it thought it could re-direct upon the people it deems worthless. And then it would have backfired because Fascism can't plan more than six days into the future and would never have anticipating this shit rubber-banding and slapping them in the face.
Fascism was so efficient it lasted for two decades despite being completely compatible with capitalism and only required revanchist childishness to bring it down
True, but Francoism underwent a variety of permutations that made it more and more distant from that conventional fascism we know.
Sort of, but those cases kind of blur the line between Fascism and ordinary right wing authoritarianism.
The narrative that the Versailles
YEETYTreaty was a very important cause of WWII is true, but for different reasons than are taught in school.The political order established by the Treaty of Versailles relied on an incredibly unlikely and unique pair of circumstances that emerged after WWI to persist indefinitely - that the impetialist powers of Germany and Russia would simultaneously implode and retreat from the world stage, without attempting to reclaim their former position under successor regimes. The Versailkes order as a result made Weimar/Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia pariah states, which repeatedly pushed them together (Reichswehr-Soviet rearmament and technological exchange in the 20s; Molotov-Ribbentrop in 1939) and destabilized the extremely fragile peace only held firm by the noncommital and unstable regimes of the alliance between a British Empire entering terminal decline and the perpetually unstable French Third Republic. Throw in Imperial Japan to the mix threatening their colonial empires. The Versailles order had a LOT of enemies committed to destroying it, and the impotent League of Nations was the only peaceful outlet to moderate these conflicts.
The failure of the Versailles order was precisely why America had to step up as the indisputable hegemon to stop the communists.
Fascism is so efective, it got destroyed by a bad war and 80 years had to pass for it to resurface
No, they let the virus spread because it kills Black people at ~3x the rate of others
Someone linked this dipshit to an article about the typhus outbreaks in the concentration camps, right?
