181 What is fascism?

Fascism is a hard ideology to define because nearly every modern government or political movement has been called 'fascist' by somebody. I contend that fascism was a political movement unique to the early 20th century, especially in Europe, because its worldview was shaped by events and philosophical ideas from the late 19th century until the interwar period. Some people have called states like Saddam Hussein's Iraq 'fascist', but I believe that there is a big difference between authoritarian dictatorship and genuine fascism.

So how did fascism originally develop? It grew out of a European intellectual movement which criticized the alienating effect that industrial society had on modern man, as well as late 19th century critiques of Liberalism and Positivism. They believed that industrial society robbed men of their individuality; however they wanted to assert it at the same time. These ideas were adopted by many young people, especially young, middle-class socialists, because they wanted to rebel against what they perceived as pointless and archaic bourgeois morality and conformity. This is why in the 1930s, fascism looked like it might actually take over Europe: it successfully harnessed people’s dissatisfaction with modern society and directed it into political channels.

Fascists were influenced by philosophers like Gustav Le Bon who wrote about the need for a strong leading figure to lead the masses against social ills. He believed that people were fundamentally irrational, and should embrace their irrationality. This was taken up by fascist ideologues who thought that their members’ irrationality should be harnessed by the leader and directed into political action, which was mostly comprised of beating up socialists, communists and trade unionists (or Jews in the case of Nazism). Fascism was a fundamentally violent ideology which praised war and conflict. Both Hitler and Mussolini believed that war was the highest expression of human ability and society, and sincerely thought that life was a continual conflict between people for limited resources (hence the title of Hitler's autobiography, Mein Kampf). To fascists war was a good thing because it let nations or races decide who was the strongest and who deserved the planet's resources.

Fascism’s insistence on embracing irrationality is one thing that makes it hard to comprehend; although Hitler and Mussolini wrote their respective handbooks about fascist beliefs, they ultimately rejected concrete doctrines and always acted in response to current events. This is why a lot of fascist rhetoric and actions seem to be contradictionary.

The First World War gave fascism its mass base. Veterans across Europe felt alienated in civilian society after the war, which could not understand their experiences on the frontline. A lot of them wanted to return to an idealized comradeship and hierarchy of the front line, which fascist organizations like the SA and the Blackshirts offered. A lot of them didn’t actually care about the nuances of fascist ideology, they just felt like they didn’t belong in civilian society and needed order and comrades. Instead of a real enemy opposing army, fascism offered them a frontline against post-war society which was especially attractive in revisionist countries like Germany and Italy, where many wanted to destroy the existing Liberal order which they blamed for their countries’ humiliations.

Unlike socialists and communists, fascists wanted to cure modern society’s alienation through the creation of a hierarchal state made up of different social classes working together for the benefit of the nation. This is called ‘corporatism’ and is fascism’s only real contribution to economic thought. The competing segments of industrial society would be united by the leader act entirely through the state, which incidentally would preserve existing capitalist hierarchies and strengthen them. Fascists were for a sort of inverted social-democracy which would give social services to its members but not to anyone else. If you were not a member of the nation or the Volksgemeinschaft - tough luck. This is why many people participated in Fascist and Nazi organizations like the DAP or Hitler Youth; if you did not actively participate in the national or racial community, you were not a part of it and would be socially ostracized (or worse) and denied state benefits. They didn't necessarily believe in fascist ideology, and many opposed it, but the fascist state required them to participate in it.

The major difference between fascism and socialism is that the former was all about preserving hierarchy and bourgeois society, while getting rid of industrial alienation through the creation of a totalitarian society. Mussolini thought that by giving up your individuality to the totalitarian state, you could have your energies and efforts multiplied by its services. Paradoxically, by surrendering individuality, alienation would somehow disappear. In industrial societies, fascism was popular with the middle class because it offered a cultural and social revolution which would keep hierarchies and fortify them through corporatism. Unlike conservatism, fascism wanted a cultural revolution that would create a “New Fascist Man” who had no individuality separate from the state. This is why it was appealing to the middle class; it let them vent their frustrations about modern society and be little revolutionaries while simultaneously protecting their property and position in the social hierarchy.

The emphasis on maintaining private property and hierarchy was what made fascists hate socialists and communists. Fascism marketed itself as the “Third Way” between Liberalism, which was responsible for alienation and the post-war Wilsonian order, and Socialism, which threatened to take bourgeois property in an economic revolution. Conservatives and fascists usually got along because they both hated the same things, but most conservatives failed to understand the revolutionary aspect of fascism and believed they could be controlled to curtail workers’ rights and revise the Paris Treaties, which didn't really work out.

180 Where is my mind?

179 a double life

I read a lot of posts on here of people struggling with daily, debilitating depression that plagues every aspect of their lives, making it difficult to do small things like even take a shower. I feel that I am on the opposite side of the spectrum and wanted to share that it is equally as horrible.

From an outsider's perspective, I appear to be a very happy and stable individual. I have a financially secure job and I go to work every day and not only try my best but actively try to get along with others and make people laugh every day. My coworkers like me, and some look up to me. No one would think I have any problems at all. However, I feel like I am hidden behind a veil, and when I come home from work and when I am in the privacy of my home, I am in such crippling depression. I have such terrible episodes of sadness. I hate myself. I over-analyze everything stupid I do or say throughout the day and I replay it in my mind constantly and belittle myself. I don't feel proud of myself for any of my accomplishments and genuinely don't know why anyone even likes me. And yet I still get up every day, live this routine, and put on a facade like I am okay. It feels like I am living a double life that I cannot escape.

170 3 important questions

169 I want to be erased

I'm a waste of oxygen, food and any other essential or non-essential resource. The fact that people seem to regard me as talented simply for the copious amounts of academical successes I've reached madden me so much that I want to ram my head into a metal wall just to show them that no, I'm not deserving of this. I don't even care about it. Even if it may seem like it.

I think I'm retarded. Something, somethings - must have gone wrong when I was born. I don't feel human and I believe I'm beneath every single member of society due to my inability to connect to anyone. Oh, yeah, all these medals, even a scholarship and diplomas - wow, look, I'm so smart!

No. They're as worthless as the junk that I learn for education on a daily basis. And that's the only thing I'm good at. Iterating this learned junk so masterfully that everyone is blindly latching onto the idea that I'm the smartest student in class.

Even my parent has told me that I'm only smart on paper. Everything else that actually matters - such as social interaction, and following instructions so simple that people half my age would be able to follow it? Yeah, I can't do those. I'm a dull witted idiot. I fully believe something truly fucked up with my brain development. And the words 'you're only smart on paper' wouldn't hurt as much if they weren't the truth. And I know they are. It's not simply even being about socially inept anymore. It's just being an imbecile. And expected to be up to the standard of every normal and average human - and those standards I cannot meet.

I remember when I used to be happy. Absolutely nothing gives me what I would call joy. I like only a few things in this world, and without them I'd have jumped off of my balcony already. Knowing myself, I'd fail at that too. There's just this one ingredient that everyone has that I'm missing. The one thing that makes them behave like the normal person that I am not.

And beyond being a cretin? I'm ungrateful. I'm reminded that I'm ungrateful on a daily basis verbally.

I have a home. I have food. I have access to an electronic device. I have a cat. I go to school and receive top marks.

And then I remember there's people with none of these things, and people who're also out there, clinging to this world with the last specks of their sanity - people who have to challenge and beat prejudices, people who're discriminated against for the colour of their skin, race, religion, sex, gender, nationality, sexual orientation. And none of these things that trouble the abovementioned figures trouble me as an individual - I am unharmed by these negatives. But I still don't want to exist.

I don't want to kill myself. Because a lot of effort, time and energy, alongside money, was put in the act of raising me to the state I am today. I don't want to throw that away. But if there was just this button to completely wipe all traces of me from the face of this earth? I'd sure as hell sign up.

I wish I'd just been born like most of humanity on Earth; a part of the majority. I wouldn't even care if I had been born a homophobic twat if it meant I could blend in with others. Just for a little time. I wouldn't care if I had been born a racist, a sexist, or any other vile scum that are so well integrated into society. That's just how selfish I am. I wish I had been born an ignorant ass, if it meant just a modicum of happiness - for myself.

I still remember when my sister asked my mother about suicide as a young kid (she's not suicidal). My mother said all those who kill themselves are condemned to hell for all of eternity. And out of all the things that I've heard in all of my life, this one, this particular line brings a genuine smile to my face. This is how she expects, this is how society around me expects that they discourage suicide.

Besides, I'm going to hell regardless. Not that I've done any particular evils, no. I just never believed in God. So I'm cruising down to hell, I suppose, to punish for my lack of faith. But I sincerely hope it's just a big, endless, empty sleep that comes after death.

I'll go sleep it off now. Suicide would be wasted on a person like me, anyway.

158 Iron Golems

When I saw the first one, I ran inside to grab a fishing pole to try to fish it out. Just as I got him out, I noticed the second one, farther in. When I swam down to check him out, I found the whole group of them. I was taken back for a few seconds, completely speechless. It was almost like they wanted to be down there.

I honestly don’t know what I should do with them, now. I figure I could drain the area around them, excavate them, and then build a fence to keep them contained, but I think that might be even worse. Immortality is probably not all it’s cracked up to be. Eventually, you just want to rest, I imagine.

Then I started wandering off on mental tangents about pathfinding code. This game is definitely more than the sum of its parts.

156 Shun y Mime

Mime - ¿Por qué insiste en pelear?, ¿Por qué Andrómeda?

Shun - Ya te lo he dicho, debo rescatar a Atena y proteger esta tierra.

Mime - ¿acaso crees que podrás proteger a esta pobre y miserable tierra? ¿Crees que esta tierra merece que apueste tu pobre vida? ¿O crees que llegará el momento en que haya paz sin pelear y sin delitos? Acaso lo crees? Piénsalo.

Shun - Este sujeto es distinto a aquellos con los que he combatido. Lee todo lo que hay en mi mente. 

Mime - Tú has herido a muchas personas en la guerra de las 12 casas, Andrómeda. Y tú también resultaste herido. Y ¿Qué fue lo que conseguiste? Sólo otra pelea. 

Shun - Es cierto. Me pregunto cuántas personas habré de lastimar. La justicia no es una excusa. Lo cierto es que hiero a muchas personas. Incluyendo a algunos de mis amigos. Seiya, Saori ¿es verdad?. ¿Será cierto lo que me dijo Mime el resultado de una pelea es otra pelea? La paz no llegará aún cuando nos esforcemos. Dímelo, Seiya. Saori. Shiryu. Hyoga. ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué no hablan? ¿Por qué pelean?

Mime - Andrómeda, creo que podrás dejar de pelear sólo cuando hayas muerto. 

Ikki - Shun, no hay respuesta. 

Mime - ¿Qué es este cosmos?. 

Shun - Hermano!

Ikki - Lo único que podemos hacer es confiar en nuestro futuro. Es muy difícil lo sé. Pero nada habrá de quedar si renunciamos a todo pensando así. De eso estoy seguro. Nuestra lucha no será inútil. Mantente firme Shun, todo terminará si te rindes ahora. 

Shun - Aún no logro entenderlo, pero creo en lo que creo mi hermano. Bien Mime, te venceré! Prepárate para luchar conmigo!

Orfeo - Eurídice te amo, incluso aquí en el infierno. Créeme Eurídice, te amo. Aunque tuve que traicionar a Atena, deseaba tu alma de regreso. Esa es la verdad. Sin embargo, cuando una flor muere nunca vuelve a florecer, la gente, las aves, los insectos, incluso las estrellas que brillan intensamente, la vida ocurre solamente una vez. Por eso es tan hermosa y preciada. Comprendes Eurídice, estaba equivocado al querer traer a alguien de la muerte. Me equivoque al desear tal cosa. 

Eurídice - Orfeo.

Orfeo - Eurídice.

Eurídice - Te agradezco lo que has hecho por mí, las melodías que tocaste todo este tiempo. Gracias a tu lira pude seguir viviendo incluso en este estado. Pero ya es suficiente.

Orfeo - Eurídice.

Eurídice - Orfeo. Adios. Y muchas gracias. Adios.

154 Manigoldo y Sage

Manigoldo - Dónde estoy? Qué es este lugar? 

* Se ve una fila de cadáveres caminando hacia un precipicio. *

Manigoldo - No! Deténganse! Qué es lo que les pasa?

Sage - La muerte. Hay tantas muertes en nuestro mundo que llenan estas filas infinitas. 

Manigoldo - Dime una cosa, ¿encuentran la paz al caer ahí?

Sage - Jamás. Abajo su único destino es el inframundo. Mejor dicho el Infierno. 

Manigoldo - ¿Infierno? No puede ser! Quizá sufrieron mucho al momento de su muerte. Y al parecer aún lo hacen. Pero ¿tienen que sufrir por toda la eternidad? No te quedes ahí patriarca, haz algo! ¿No podemos deternerlos? ¿No podemos detener esas líneas?

* Se avienta para intentar detener una joven que está por caer. Y cae con ella lográndose sostener apenas del borde. *

Sage - Manigoldo. Suéltala ya, déjala ir.

Manigoldo  - pero…

Sage - De todos modos ella ya está muerta. Aunque la salves de esa fosa no vivirá. 

Manigoldo - Pero, sufrirá más si cae ahí, patriarca. Sufrió al morir, estoy seguro. Pero no permitiré que lo haga eternamente. No voy a permitirlo. 

Sage - Déjala ya, Manigoldo. 

Manigoldo - ¿Qué sentido tiene vivir entonces? ¿Todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si es así como termina la vida, entonces ¿todo mi pueblo sufrirá igual? Si termina así la vida, entonces ¿qué sentido tiene convertirme en caballero?

* Cae la joven. *

Manigoldo - Sólo siento una profunda angustia. 

Sage - Una profunda angustia. No lo des por hecho así nada más. Respóndeme esto, ¿ya olvidaste la razón por la cual te traje al santuario?. No fue porque quisiera enseñarte sobre la angustia o desesperanza en el campo de batalla. 

* Sube a Manigoldo. *

Sage - Fue para que pudieras vivir, Manigoldo. 

Manigoldo - No entiendo nada, ¿cómo podré vivir después de lo que he visto?

Sage - Por esa razón luchamos contra el dios Hades, aquel que reina el inframundo. Y contra todos aquellos que tratan a los humanos como si fueran simples peones. Por eso debes sentir esa vida, Manigoldo, y el universo que hay en ella. No dejes de sentirla y valorarla. Y así derrotaremos a la muerte misma. 

* De vuelta al campo de batalla contra Tanathos. *

Sage - ¿Angustiante? No uses esa palabra tan a la ligera. Aún hay esperanza. 

Manigoldo - Ahora comprendo maestro, tienes toda mi confianza.

What's the most a single, average person can do to help as many people as much as possible?

Consecrate your life to being the embodiment of your own highest ideals. The only thing that is consistent in your life is you. By making this thing, your 'self', as insightful, compassionate, useful, productive, loving, learned, determined . . .[virtue X] you guarantee that all events and relationships you engage in will have this positive aspect. You can't control things beyond yourself, you can only contribute. The quality of your contribution is directly proportional to the quality of your person. Any specific set of actions, philosophies, philanthropies, 'causes' or the like are impermanent and only useful in a proper context and application. Therefore identification with or association of these activities as 'the best' will simply prevent you from actually being in the moment and responding, you will be reacting to your own idealized mental landscape. Moreover your knowledge of the impact of your actions is severely limited. However we might be aware of the impact of our actions in ways we can understand the butterfly affect of causality extends far beyond our awareness. Furthermore ideas are viral in their spreading. If others observe in you the embodiment of ideals they value and they see the effects of this in and through your actions they too may be inspired to refine themselves. This refracts throughout society as we inspire each other to evolve ourselves. To have a more evolved society we need more developed people to create it. To facilitate the development of others we can only lead by example, share the notes of our own growth journey and support each other.

117 I wish I could tell her how wrong she was

My wife was struggling with depression for about 6 months. She attempted overdosing in December, but I found out and called an ambulance. Yesterday she jumped off the roof of our apartment building while I was out. I don’t know why I’m writing this. It might be to prevent others from doing this, but I think it is a more selfish desire to just say it
I found out yesterday that she stopped taking her medication for about 7-10 days because the side effects were unbearable. I don’t mean to diminish this, but I believe it was mostly in her head. She operated normally as far as I could tell, but was fixated on this idea. I noticed she got worse recently but I believed it was because she was putting pressure on herself to get back to work. I guess I was wrong.
She thought I would be better off without her. That the pain I was going through watching her was too much for me. I truly believe that when she jumped she was partially doing it to free me. I wish I could tell her how wrong she was.
Now I feel trapped. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for myself but I also don’t see suicide as an option. How can I put my loved ones through what I’m now going through? I can only hope that the saying time heals all wounds is correct.
