Christians, Muslims, and Jews make up over half the world's population from what I recall, and all of them embrace fascist views or desires.
If you long for an anointed leader who is blessed and inspired by God to outlaw all that God wants to see outlawed, and be God's voice for your nation. You want someone blessed and called by God to lead the nation wisely and prudently, according to Christian, Muslim, Jewish, (or any system of Abrahamic laws + Dogmas), that is a very fascist leader you long for.
Most Fascists don't know they are Fascist. Most people who think Fascism is an ugly word that promotes hate and violence, have no clue what the word means or is.
If you are a Christian, Jew, or Muslim who longs for peace, I'd argue Fascism is more peaceful than our Abrahamic faiths, because there are calls to violence or massacres sanctioned by God in the Bible and Qur'an, and I recall not one such call to violence, with the possible exception of the call to defend Catholicism and religion in general from the attacks of Communists.
Here is some of the first paragraph of the Doctrine of Fascism. It begins as the opening paragraph because of it's importance:
"There can be no conception of the State which is not fundamentally a conception of life: philosophy or intuition, system of ideas evolving within the framework of logic or concentrated in a vision or a faith, but always, at least potentially, an organic conception of the world. Thus many of the practical expressions of Fascism such as party organization, system of education, and discipline can only be understood when considered in relation to its general attitude toward life. A spiritual attitude (3). Fascism sees in the world not only those superficial, material aspects in which man appears as an individual, standing by himself, self-centered, subject to natural law, which instinctively urges him toward a life of selfish momentary pleasure; it sees not only the individual but the nation and the country; individuals and generations bound together by a moral law, with common traditions and a mission which suppressing the instinct for life closed in a brief circle of pleasure, builds up a higher life, founded on duty, a life free from the limitations of time and space, in which the individual, by self-sacrifice, the renunciation of self-interest, by death itself, can achieve that purely spiritual existence in which his value as a man consists."
Mussolini was a rare being, for not just was he a strong charismatic speaker, fearless, and a physically strong street-fighter and sword-dueler, but an ingenius writer was he as well, who is not easy for most to understand, so, the first paragraph of the Doctrine of Fascism essentially says, "Don't be selfish, don't be an individualist, let your actions be motivated by what is best for the community and society, practice self-renunciation and forms of sacrifice which are healthy for you and good for society, discover the correct moral law, traditions, and mission by which we are to be bound together, renounce certain pleasures, renounce self-interest...and we shall only achieve perfection when we are purely spiritual beings, which only death can accomplish."
A lot of people who belong to no Abrahamic faith agree with the opening paragraph of the Doctrine and soul of Fascism, therefore, they embrace fascist views, even if such views were promoted before Mussolini was born.
If you believe what the Catholic Church and Pope define infallibly on faith and morals, that is a very fascist quality. If you desire a Kingdom of God, ruled by God, over other forms of government and leadership, you are a fascist.
The goal of Fascism in it's Doctrine was to bind all people together with the traditions, mission, moral code, and faith that they are called to, God is recognized as the one calling them to it, and that is undoubtedly decided by God, which the regime recognized, creating nothing other than a Theocracy, where Christ and his Church were exalted, in an attempt to please God and be inspired by him, to know what measures to take to create Monotheistic Utopia and a spiritual powerhouse of a nation.
Ancient Israel was very Fascist, only Ancient Israel committed countless wars of aggression, genocide, and racism, neither of which Fascism promotes. But Ancient Israel had anointed Kings, called by God to their office, who enforced God's law, only far more strict was ancient Israel than Fascist Italy.
Much of the Doctrine of Fascism is too deep, that the average person would need to read the same paragraph multiple times before knowing what is being said, but throughout the Fascist Doctrine, views are promoted as intrinsically fascist views, that people practice worldwide in every religious tradition or political branch.
For example,
If your Mother tries to keep the family praying together, censores your internet so porn can’t be viewed, takes away many freedoms that could harm you like forbidding the attendance of high-school keggars or hanging out with druggies and stoners, forbidding sex prior to marriage, etc. your mother is behaving like a fascist.
She is stepping in to remove certain liberties which can cause harm.
This is a religious forum, so I’d like to point out that Fascism is a religious concept,
and it’s founder declared it to be a Religion,
and I can prove that Fascism is a more peaceful Religion than any Abrahamic faith.
You might say, “Fascists invaded other nations and had death camps. Fascism isn’t peaceful.” That is like saying, “Christians had crusades, Muslims had Jihads and terrorist organizations, there is your proof that Christianity and Islam aren’t peaceful”.
Atheist regimes committed far more mass-killings in the 20th century than Fascists or any religious group, despite making up a small percent of the world’s population. Does that mean Atheism is violent?
Buddhism, the religion thought to be least associated with violence, and the greatest remedy for peace has a history of “Buddhist adherents” commiting violence https://www.thoughtco.com/short-history-of-violent-buddhism-195794
The failure of Fascists in practice is not a reflection of Fascism, but a reflection of human frailty, ego, and vain ambition.
Fascism arose in a time and place where violence had to be taken to establish order and healthy civilization. Were it not Fascism, some other sort of strong figure resembling a Dictator was needed for Italy to not fall into bloody revolution, greater poverty, greater division, greater demoralization, and total chaos.
For the greatest celebrity of the 20th century for two decades, and the only leader I know of who both took over a modern first-world government without a coup and dismantled Democracy in a cradle of Democracy, replacing it with one’s own government (which became the most powerful form of government in Europe responsible for economic miracles), becoming arguably the most unique and interesting politician in History, Mussolini was actually poor in Spirit, and sometimes was quite humble.
He took what money he needed to survive from his newspaper, and gave the money that a Prime-minister receives, to other causes. He punished fascists for terrorizing his opponents. He had mercy on the two people that shot at him, providing for their families, and when fascists committed atrocities, he would often lament and say, “we will pay dearly for this”.
Rachele Mussolini knew him better than any other person, since the age of seven, and is most reliable. She fought with him often, and was very angry at him, so she doesn’t cover for his faults or scandals, but the winning side writes the history. The people that urinated on him, hung him up by his heels, stoned him, spit on him, decided his corpse wasn’t dead enough and shot it more, howled the most vicious hatred, mockery, and curses at him, were members of the winning side, and some of such haters wrote history. Their hatred was extreme, so I’m sure they dismiss any good qualities Il Duce had, and I’d not for a second doubt that they attribute quotes and behaviors to him that are falsehood.
Were the communists and the socialists who were communists in disguise not destabilizing Italy and many nations, causing wars, and violent persecution of people of all faiths, Fascism would not have been violent, for the violence was primarily motivated by the attempt to destroy the Soviet Union and uproot Communism worldwide. When France was falling to Hitler, Mussolini thought Hitler was going to win the war, and he entered the war on his side, largely because of how anti-communist he was, hoping the two of them could be the force to crush the most evil, Godless, barbaric, and mass-murdering government the planet has ever seen.
To be continued….
