The Fascism Portal

Shortcut: P:FASC

Fascism is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Fascists seek to unify their nation based on commitment to an organic national community where its individuals are united together as one people through national identity. The unity of the nation is to be based upon suprapersonal connections of ancestry and culture through a totalitarian state that seeks the mass mobilization of the national community through discipline, indoctrination, physical training, and eugenics. Fascism seeks to eradicate perceived foreign influences that are deemed to be causing degeneration of the nation or of not fitting into the national culture.

Selected article

Albert Speer (born Berthold Konrad Hermann Albert Speer and pronounced /ˈʃpɛɐ/; March 19, 1905 – September 1, 1981) was a German architect who was, for part of World War II, Minister of Armaments and War Production for the Third Reich. Speer was Adolf Hitler's chief architect before assuming ministerial office. He designed and constructed a number of structures, including the Reich Chancellery and the Zeppelinfeld stadium in Nuremberg where Party rallies were held. Speer accepted responsibility at the Nuremberg trials and in his memoirs for crimes of the Nazi regime and was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, most of which he served in Spandau Prison in West Berlin. After his release, Speer published two bestselling autobiographical works, Inside the Third Reich and Spandau: The Secret Diaries.

Selected quote

“

If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and those who claim to be the bearers of objective immortal truth, then there is nothing more relativistic than Fascist attitudes and activity. From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, we Fascists conclude that we have the right to create our own ideology and to enforce it with all the energy of which we are capable.

”

— Benito Mussolini, "Diuturna"
