re:"It was a localized phenomenon dealing primarily with only two christian sects. Moreover, it was significantly countered by many other christians from its inception. Authorities from both catholic and lutheran groups fought it, many giving their lives to end it."
Localized to which two Christian Sects? The Catholics and Protestants? You say that it was countered by many other christians from its inception, but the bulk of those "Christians" were probably Socialists and Communists. And while individual Catholic and Lutheran groups fought fascism, the Churches as a whole could not have been considered the enemy (of facist regimes). Most opposed to fascism just kept their mouth shut, and hoped to stay out of prison (or death camps).
Japan under Tojo, was considered fascist
Spain under Franco, was considered fascist
Portugal under Salazar, was considered fascist
Hungary could have been considered fascist, before WW II
Romania could have been considered fascist, before WW II
Argentina was considered fascist by many, under Peron
South Africa was considered fascist, during apartheid
"Central European Christian Fascism" may have been confined to Central Europe, but Fascism as a movement had longer legs. |
