Moominoid,
Any mention of that word always generates more heat than light.

Strictly speaking, there have only been two true fascist periods, in Germany and in Italy and we all know how that turned out.

Now I am going to go out on a limb here try to separate a little bit of what Hitler sometimes said in his speeches and what was sprinkled through some of his writings as opposed to what he and his henchmen actually did while in power.

A common theme was his proclaimed desire to provide special advantages to the German people and to the German nation and that at least to some degree these advantages would have to come at the expense of other peoples and other nations.

Another Hitler theme was that the world is a dangerous place.

Well, I think that the world is still a dangerous place and that many nations now are doing all they can to gain local advantage at the expense of others. They are actually doing it. Hitler only talked about it, though maybe he tried and failed.

Globalists, one-worlders, internationalists, ect. hate this kind of thinking and brand anyone, well anyone in the USA anyway, who ventures off in this direction a "fascist".

But human nature hasn't changed, surely not in a hundred years. And what has happened in the past is likely to repeat, after a fashion, in time.
