Fascism
built 627 days ago
Fascism is a form of extreme right-wing ideology that celebrates the nation or the race as an organic community transcending all other loyalties. It emphasizes a myth of national or racial or puritan rebirth after a period of decline or destruction. To this end, fascism calls for a "spiritual revolution" against signs of moral decay such as individualism and materialism, and seeks to purge "alien" forces and groups that threaten the organic community. Fascism tends to celebrate masculinity, youth, mystical unity, and the regenerative power of violence. Often, but not always, it promotes racial superiority doctrines, ethnic persecution, imperialist expansion, and genocide. At the same time, fascists may embrace a form of internationalism based on either racial or ideological solidarity across national boundaries.

Fascism has a complex relationship with established elites and the non-fascist right. It is never a mere puppet of the ruling class, but an autonomous movement with its own social base. In practice, fascism defends capitalism against instability and the left, but ... pursues an agenda that sometimes clashes with capitalist interests in significant ways. There has been much cooperation, competition, and interaction between fascism and other sections of the right, producing various hybrid movements and regimes.

As of Feburary 2007, the Fascism Vandal has continued to edit Uncyclopedia in accordance with the mission he has given himself. The Fascism Vandal is ... believed to have edited Wookieepedia and Memory Alpha, wikis dedicated to Star Wars and Star Trek respectively. In a 2006 interview, the Fascism Vandal refused to explictly confirm this, although he did state that he was "...disgusted by the manner in which Memory Alpha and Wookiepedia abused fair use tags for images and were almost universally written in an in-universe perspective," which he claimed "would leave readers unclear on what in the article is factual and what is derived from a work of fiction." Further criticism was also made against Wookiepedia's article on SuperShadow, which the Fascism Vandal claimed was not written with a neutral point of view.[2]

Fascism places the state foremost. The country does not serve the citizen; the citizen serves the country. The notion of plebeian sovereignty is utterly foreign to a fascist regime. This, of course, means that fascism is noted for its extreme nationalism, often taking patriotic displays and political art to absurd levels. The best-known example is Hitler’s Germany, which featured incredible national architecture, mass rallies, and the flag and national symbols every where. The leader (fascism usually has a single individual at the top who may or may not exercise absolute authority, and may even be a puppet) is equated to the nation.

Fascism ... operated from a Social Darwinist view of human relations. Their aim was to promote "superior" individuals and weed out the weak. In terms of economic practice, this meant promoting the interests of successful businessmen while destroying trade unions and other organizations of the working class. Lawrence Britt suggests that protection of corporate power is an essential part of fascism. Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social.
