Nothing shows being an expert on the funny like writing a dissertation on format. I'm a nobody but that sure didn't stop me from getting under your skin now did it. 🤓 -

I think the salt of people trying to get you posting in the right thread and the following utter disregard has made this my favorite thread on this godawful game. Memes are aight, don't let Buo bring you down ❤️ he hasn't been funny since he had his own show. Does he still have his own show? What is anything anymore. I don't even know what block I'm in, just that I'm getting rolled. -

My people don't get to eat in the best of times, they have adapted and are prepared. We shall play our anthem on our ribcages as we march into battle. -

Is there any fascist alliance in politicsandwar?
Matthew The Great replied to IRON's topic in Orbis Central
You have read the first couple paragraphs for the NSDAP on wikipedia! Congrats, you are now an expert on the political history of Fascism, I have been promptly dabbed on. If you picture socialism as the moderate path of modern authoritarian economics (Which it is, look into any socialist countries and you realize that just because you're socialist does not mean you're a liberal), Fascism lies on the right wing while Communism lies on the left. They are both extreme points, and imo I think Fascism is definitely the more extreme of the two (Fascism in it's post 1930's incarnation has become a concept that is flawed on paper, while you can still make arguments in favor of a communist model), but denying it's ties to socialism instead of addressing them only hurts the socialist argument. I could argue this point for hours, but at this point it's starting to look like I'm defending Francoist, who has just been embarrassing himself these last few points. You can't defend racism by citing other people being racist too. If you want to make an argument supporting Fascism I'd stick with Franco (who was also quite an a-hole but your best bet for an argument supporting any modern Fascist governments) or anyone who didn't take power post WW1. Closing Statement (This forum is no longer funny, I'm out, yeet)- Everyone was an A-hole in the 1930s, other people's governments also having A-holes does not defend yours, and yes, communist memes are just straight up funnier. -

Sorry but I'm not, a large portion of Fascist leaders have their origins in socialist circles and groups. Including the leaders of 2 of the axis powers (Mussolini joined the socialist movement, and Hitler joined the NSDAP). You're right that Fascism has stark differences to socialism, but there is no denying that the ideologies roots lie there. *Should Digress that I'm referring to the early 20th century fascist revival movements and not the early Italian model, not pre ww1 movements which were somewhat friendlier, and very unlike the fascism we think of today* It's a pretty complex history, it's fair enough to argue that fascism as a concept has it's roots elsewhere, but the people who managed to put it in action started with socialism -

Most Fascist leaders and organizations have their origins in their respective countries socialist parties. Fascism also had strong union showing (The main prefascist nationalist movement in Germany was through unions, granted you can attribute this as syndicalism). Fascism is what happens when Auth Right Socialists don't think Socialism is Nationalist enough. -

The argument between Big Brother and Fancroist was fun, but uh... you're both right ig. Fascism is an offshoot of socialism, in the same way Nazism is an offshoot of Fascism. So if socialists get to distance themselves from Fascists, Fascists can distance themselves from Nazis. But every Non-Nazi Fascist Government was run by !@#$ too. Nazis weren't the only bad fascists. So no one should defend them either. Make a Fascist AA when you have the funds if you want, I don't have anything against it not being against the rules, but part of having a fascist OR communist theme is dealing with people whose sensibilities you've offended.
