The coming U.S. Fascist Regime
Mussolini’s formula: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Or against the party.
Millions who saw Joe Biden’s speech outside of Freedom Hall in Philadelphia September 1, 2022, were struck by the strong similarity of the setting to one of German Dictator and Fascist Adolph Hitler in giving his fiery speeches in Nazi German in the 1930s and 1940s. (Photo: Screen Capture/Fox News)
Do a search for “Fascism” in the U.S. and myriad articles will appear warning that former President Donald Trump is the tip of the spear for American Fascism. The pundits quoted claim that, despite the fact “a widely anticipated red wave for the Republican Party failed to materialize” in the 2022 midterms, American shouldn’t get complacent. The US is still on the path to becoming a fascist country.”
The warnings are valid, but the direction from which Fascism comes is deliberately obscured in lies that it is a right-wing ideology.
Fascists in Italy and Germany during World War II were socialists. It has never anything but very far left, on the same end of the political spectrum with communism, socialism, Marxism, Peronism and all the other failed systems that advocate the loss of property rights, placing the economy in the hands of the government and establishing a “security force” that keeps everyone in line.
Wise observers will take note that the only political entity advocating such extremism in the United States is the Democrat Party.
Make no mistake about it, the narrative of the roots of Fascist ideology over the last seven decades is a lie. Despite the near-ubiquitous evidence of that lie, the Left nonetheless continues to peddle it.
Fascism is absolutely a socialist doctrine. Italian dictator Benito Mussolini was active in politics, a 14-year member of the Italian Socialist Party. He was often jailed for protesting against the Italian monarchy or advocating labor strikes. When World War I began, he was initially against the war, but later decided it could benefit Italy, so he joined the military.
That put him at odds with Italian socialists, who opposed the war beginning to end, and expelled him. In 1919, after the German surrender, Mussolini started the Italian Fascist Party. A series of weak democratic governments failed to overcome Italian angst and fear fomented by the Treaty of Versailles that provided greater rewards for the colonial nations of Europe over Italy, which had no colonies. King Vittorio Emanuele III turned to Mussolini to form a new government. It was 1922. He became the youngest premier in Italian history.
Italian Fascism was, in many respects, an adverse reaction to both the apparent failure of laissez-faire economics and fear of international Bolshevism. This was true even though Mussolini did not have a fully developed Fascist doctrine. He appealed to those fearful Italians who worried that economic, political and cultural pressures would fracture Italy into class warfare.
Despite espousing the Fascist ideology It wasn’t until 1932 that Mussolini developed a written Fascist doctrine. He turned to fellow socialist Giovanni Gentile to help him. Regardless of what their motivation may have originally been, the only fact that mattered in the end was that Mussolini wanted to continue to rule Italy.
Gentile, for his part, was heavily influenced by 19th century philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, one of the leading proponents of German idealism. He was best known for his teleological account of history — a methodology devoted to describing sociopolitical phenomena by the purpose they serve rather than the cause from which they arise. Marx coopted this method in order to justify his radical communist viewpoint.
In helping Mussolini develop his definitive work on Fascist ideology, Gentile wrote that, ““Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.” Mussolini and Gentile cast aside the Marxist “worker party” concept and adopted instead a nationalist philosophy to graft into Fascism.
Yet, like virtually every socialist ideology, the pair espoused the State over the individual. All private activity, they asserted, must be tailored to serve the good of the State. Rejecting democratic society’s concept of individualism, Gentile wrote that there was no distinction to be made between public and private interest. All actions were either good for the State, or they were to be rejected as subversive.
Taking the concept of nationalism to a Fascist extremism, Mussolini and Gentile envisioned the system as an autarky, the self-sufficiency of the State to the extent of excluding trade with other nations, viewing them as inferior to the Fascist State. Adolf Hitler would later adopt this same ideal into Nazi Fascism. He extended it beyond economic considerations to include the “inferiority” of people groups, most specifically, the Jews in Europe.
Mussolini adopted everything in the Fascist doctrine that Gentile suggested. He nationalized the arms industry but determined that other business and industry should not be directly owned by the State. Instead, the owners and corporate boards of directors would be “directed” by the State. Serve the State and your business is safe as long as it does exactly as the State requires. Italian businesses were closely supervised by public officials and faced confiscation, arrest, imprisonment and even execution if they failed to properly serve the State.
Private ownership of property was outlawed. Mussolini’s Fascist government established the first tax on capital in world history, he confiscated goods belonging to religious organizations and outlawed “episcopal rents,” the rental of pews, the primary method churches used at the time to raise money rather than encouraging tithes and offerings. Everything — income, profits, goods, services, even real and personal property — had to benefit the State. The national and collectivist discourse required every effort of every citizen to favor the State.
The nationalist bent of Fascism claims to oppose democratic capitalism as well as international socialism. Mussolini and Gentile called it “a third way,” and therein lies the confusion that has led to fabricated claims Fascism, Nazism and Peronism are all right-wing ideologies. The truth is, as demonstrated herein, Fascism practices a centralized economic philosophy that obeys socialist, collectivist principles and openly opposes capitalism and the free market while favoring nationalism and autarchy.
There is absolutely no so-called “right wing ideology” that remotely resembles this philosophy. On the international political spectrum, the only socioeconomic systems sitting right of center are the varying forms of capitalism, from lukewarm “social democracy” to the end of the spectrum occupied by “faith and flag” free market conservatives whose allegiance is to a constitutional republic that is based in biblical truth. Only the United States of America fits this mold.
But every left-wing political system incorporates the same socialist dogma found in Fascism. Whether it is communism, Marxism, Peronism or Fascism, it is all far left socialist ideology. This is the evolving philosophy of the U.S. Democrat Party.
Corporate heads such as Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and others have all be declared fealty to the Democrat Party, believing their reign will extend to the horizon. They are attracted by greed, wanting corporate subsidies on green energy, healthcare and technology, embedded in the Biden spending spree bills, to prop up their business. They have put their heads in the noose, being as historically unaware as any 18-year-old woke college student as to the dangers of committing to Fascism.
Another sign of Democrat Fascism is their failure to curb their supporters in vilifying Israel. Since the attacks by Hamas — essentially a neo-Nazi Islamo-Fascist terror group — the Biden administration has given only lip service to soaring anti-Semitism on college campuses and in our communities. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre flatly refused to call those verbally, and in some cases physically attacking Jews, “extremist” when pressed by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.
Democrats have never truly been business oriented or corporate friendly. That hasn’t prevented big corporations from getting in bed with Biden’s big government. Over the past two years, these companies have become the corporate enforcer for the Democrat regime. They’ve made the decision to get in bed with Biden, even helping spread propaganda, or what Democrats like to call “disinformation,” but only if it comes from Republicans.
The problem isn’t all of corporate America. The problem is a small cabal of Fortune 500 CEOs who have wholeheartedly embraced so-called “progressive” policies — actually regressive Fascism — based on the same promises Biden has made as were first made by Mussolini and Hitler in the 1930s. They were lies then and they are lies now.
Their support emboldens the regressive Democrats who want to institute one-party Fascist rule. Biden has already begun the assault on free trade, shutting down pipelines, severely curtailing both oil lease awards and permits to drill on federal land. They promote impractical and unworkable “green energy” systems like wind and solar which serve a dual purpose of placating environmental extremes and bankrupting the capitalist economy they want to destroy, thinking to replace them with the central planning economy outlined and implemented by Mussolini and Hitler.
Despite their attempt to label Trump and his supporters as the Fascists, the Fascists in America are to be found among the tribes of the left. They are Biden and his people (including the lion’s share of the media), whose opinions have, since Jan. 6, 2021, hardened into absolute faith that any party or political belief system except their own is illegitimate—impermissible, inhuman, monstrous and (a nice touch) a threat to democracy.
This evolution of their overprivileged emotions — their sentimentality gone fanatic — has led them to embrace Mussolini’s formula: “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Or against the party.
The state and the Democratic Party must speak and act as one, suppressing all dissent. America must conform to the orthodoxy — to the Chinese finger-traps of diversity-or-else and open borders — and rejoice in mandatory drag shows and all such theater of “gender.” Meantime, their man in the White House invokes emergency powers to forgive student debt and their thinkers wonder whether the Constitution and the separation of powers are all they’re cracked up to be.
Trump and his followers are the anti-Fascists: They want the state to stand aside, to impose the least possible interference and allow market forces and entrepreneurial energies to work. Freedom isn’t Fascism. Biden and his vast tribe are essentially enemies of freedom, although most of them haven’t thought the matter through. Freedom, the essential American value, isn’t on their minds.
They desire maximum — that is, total — state or party control of all aspects of American life, including what people say and think. Seventy-four years after George Orwell wrote “1984,” such control by way of surveillance cameras, social-media companies and the Internal Revenue Service, now to be shockingly augmented by 87,000 new employees, is entirely feasible. The left yearns for power and authoritarian order. It is Faust’s bargain: Freedom is forfeit.
The last time the nation stood on the brink of Fascism was when Franklin D. Roosevelt was culminating his campaign against Alf Landon exactly 83 years ago today. That night in Madison Square Garden, Roosevelt boasted that his enemies (Republicans, plutocrats, et al.) “are unanimous in their hate for me.” With a flourish, he added, “I welcome their hatred!” Roosevelt, warming to the language of hatred, suggested that his enemies should get out of the country: “Let them emigrate and try their lot under some foreign flag.”
It was precisely this kind of language that Biden employed in his Hitlerian speech, lit in a lurid red light that spoke of Berlin 1938, outside Freedom Hall in Philadelphia on September 1, 2022. Those of us with a memory of Hitler’s bombastic speaking style, even through old Movietone newsreels viewed years later, knew immediately where Biden’s handlers were taking him.
It is the road to Fascism. If we sleep, if we fail to see with open eyes, that road, we will allow the 2024 election to be stolen just as was the 2020 election. The Fascists will prevail. It will truly be the end of the United States of America.
Do not say you haven’t been warned.
We The People is a conservative political organization founded by Mike Nichols. Our purpose is to cut through the nonsense presented as “news” by other media and speak directly to the truth.
Marxists LOOOVE "inversion", don't they? Flip any means, any words, control the language to control the population. Up is down, black is white. Lucifer really is "the father of lies".
Ultimately, the Democratic Party has always believed the right to govern belongs to it, and to it alone. It is why the party was founded. In that regard, it is fascist at its core.
