Fascism: Let the Debate Begin

AdmRose,

You're right about one thing.  Fascism has been inextricably linked with Nazi Germany and Mussolini's Italy...and for good reason.

Francisco Franco's regime was the only fascist government to survive WWII...and look at the financial and political mess it was in when he finally died.

Yep...I can see where the fascist system has proven its worth.

Just thought of this...a quote from the movie "Spartacus" sums it up best...

"I'll take a little Republican corruption along with a little Republican freedom anyday...but what I WON'T take, is Crassus as Dictator and NO FREEDOM AT ALL!"

Humans are weak Rose.  But they like to believe that they are all powerful.  Hence, "Any man can be a tyrant if given the chance."

Which, ironically was said by a woman back in American Revolutionary Times.


Democracy doesn't work outside of anything bigger then a zipcode.  It's failed twice alone in the US.  Communism doesn't work because it'll eventually crumble upon it's own ashes.  It's failed countless amounts of times in the world.  Facism doesn't work because it just pisses too many people off.  Just look at europe early '40's.  Monarchies don't work because eventually the peasents realise that their pitch forks poke holes might fine.  Take a look at anywhere a Monarchy is / was.  Anarchies don't work because they evolve into the first 4.  

So basically we are left with a Republic system.  A mix of the strongest points of Democracy and some of the Stronger points of Facism.  That doesn't necessarily mean that it's a Democracy or Facistic state.  Yet, for some wierd reason, everyone has all the freedoms they should have, yet all the responsibilities that they need.  


So, what i'm trying to get at is "Why are you really trying to promote a Facistic government?"  And don't give me crap like you have so far in this post.  I'm honestly curious.
