From "The Social Transformation of Humanity" by Samael Aun Weor

The term FASCISM comes from the word FASCIO and has its origin in the LATIN term FASCIS whose meaning is BUNDLE or set, this reminds us of the BUNDLE of sticks with the axe, symbol of the Divinity, in the center.

In the Ancient Rome of the illustrious Caesars the ax represented the authority of the Lictors and the strength in unity.

We cannot affirm that Fascism really has a Doctrine. All the theories of FASCISM come from different philosophical doctrines and from different periods.

There is no true Unity, true intellectual bonds, true Logical congruence between all those theories of FASCISM.

FASCISM is only an opportunistic Movement without definite ideology of any kind.

The Incongruent FASCIST Doctrine was modeled from above, from the power, and for that reason it is totally Rightist and Extremist.

If we examine the Fascist ideas we will find in them the flavor of power, the taste of pride, of arrogance.

THE “I” wants power, command, dignities, hierarchies, money, lordship. The “I” wants the whole world to butter up to it, pay it vassalage and adoration, the “I” wants the whole world to announce it, applaud it, venerate it, etc.

FASCISM considers class inequality as beneficial, believes that only the “best”, that is, the most astute, the most cynical, the most proud, etc., have the right to Govern.

FASCISM is one hundred percent totalitarian, and only gives the right of command to its aristocratic, powerful, arrogant, astute elites.

FASCISM wants acts of Heroism and renunciation of comfort, but with a single purpose, the life of the EMPIRE.

THE “I” is very clever and the incense of prayer also hides the crime.

THE “I” dresses as a Saint and a Hero in FASCISM. It is curious, the Fascist Hero, he renounces comforts for the purpose of making an empire, with the purpose of being powerful, to grow, to receive vassalage and allegiance, this is great and even Divine, but it is clear that within all this hide inconfessable ends.

In the FASCIST system the individual does not have the least importance, for the FASCISM the important thing is the STATE. MUSSOLINI SAID: “THE STATE IS OMNIPOTENT, OMNIPRESENT and OMNISCIENT.”

The DUCE is the SUPREME CHIEF, a kind of Demi-god, the summum of every Hierarchy, the Synthesis of the Fatherland, the army, the Nation.

Each one of the Departments of the state organization corresponds in fact and in its own right to an organism of the Fascist Party, but the DUCE is almost GOD HIMSELF.

The main objective of Fascism in Italy was to resurrect the ROMAN EMPIRE. A tremendous reaction of the Italian people put an end to the life of DUCE MUSSOLINI, and then the structure of the party was meaningless, without mystique, and fell to the ground, converted into cosmic dust.

Mussolini, August member of the tenebrous Brotherhood, was nothing really but a fantastic dreamer who fascinated the crowds . Mussolini wanted to resurrect in the twentieth century, the ancient Roman Empire.

Mussolini’s Ambition, Greed, Pride and Arrogance had no limits, this is the PSYCHOLOGICAL “I”, and Mussolini’s “I” was, or better said IS because his memory continues, terribly monstrous.

Mussolini was an idol of clay that was struck down by the terrible thunderbolt of Cosmic Justice .

THE DUCE wanted to remove the insolent Caesars of the ancient times from their millenary tombs so that they might throw their thunderbolts and anathemas on this unfortunate world again, but the dead Caesars smiled at him from the bottom of the black grave with a horrible fatal grimace.

The Ambition of Mussolini’s PSYCHOLOGICAL “I” was to ressurect a vanished empire, and it fell not with the arrogant and even Olympic luxury of a wounded eagle among the blood-feast of a battlefield, not even as a majestic Condor of the Andes wounded to death by lightning. Mussolini fell into the mud like a pig and some amongst the crowds that kicked him without mercy exclaimed : “Mussolini: You have become a pig!”

Really the PSYCHOLOGICAL “I” with all its Pride, Arrogance, Ambition, Greed, Violence, etc.., etc., etc., is a filthy pig that wallows in the mud.

Unfortunately we have to recognize that it is very difficult to acquire the virtue of Humility, that virtue is a very exotic flower, it suffices to say, “I AM very humble”, to no longer be.

Only having the Courage to recognize the Shame of all our pride and our miserable nothingness, is how we can really come to possess that Exotic flower of Humility.

Pride comes to disguise itself with the robe of supreme humility, we have known Magistrates, Great intellectuals, Great Lords, dressing with a disconcerting humility, behaving with an amazing modesty, but when someone has challenged them intellectually, then they respond to the challenge with a astounding pride.

Pride likes to dress up sometimes with Aristippus’ old tunic, an old tunic full of holes, but pride enjoys peeping through those holes.

Pride has no basis, it is a statue without bases, each one of us has been created by Nature with a single purpose, to serve as a mechanical toy.

The Intellectual Animal called man, is a mechanical toy who unconsciously collects the cosmic forces that come from the infinite cosmos, and transforms them and passes to the preceding layers of the terrestrial organism, the earth needs those forces and man is the little machine that unconsciously collects and transforms them.

HUMANITY is an organ of NATURE, that’s all, so pride is foolish and absurd.

Nobody is more than anyone, all of us intellectual animals, we are miserable mechanical toys controlled by the PSYCHOLOGICAL “I”.

MUSSOLINI was an ambitious and proud fool, he wanted to resuscitate the Roman Empire through Cunning and Violence, he fell like a Pig among the mud.

The DUCE being dead, the structure of the party was meaningless without mystique, and it fell like a fulminated tower turned into cosmic dust.

Fascism is the last resort of Capitalism.

When Capitalism fails the elites must pacify the angry masses with "culture wars"

To prevent them from correctly identifying the system of capitalism as the problem, they are fed a diet of distractions and scapegoats.

That's why it always becomes a debate over culture and ultimately race. The scapegoats for the failure of capitalism becomes minorities, immigrants, progressives and liberals. The breakdown of traditional culture.

Dont worry about the 1%, worry about people saying "happy holidays" as opposed to "merry christmas"

These are the culture wars they have people suckered into, while they continue to be robbed blind by the capitalistic system.

Then they create enemies domestic and abroad to once again distract you with and to justify the police state, so you beg for it to be safe.

Fascism is really deep, but it's been done before and they are doing it again.

Socialism can be a gateway to fascism. So can communism. So can capitalism, especially when international trade is involved and corporate monopolies as well as public-private crony capitalism partnerships and money in politics with big money lobbyists. You are too closed in your thinking. You are stuck in anti-Reagan-80s mode - how old are you? Unless any of these forms of gov are free of manipulation it can turn bad easily.

absolute lie.

I dont think you fully even understand what these terms mean, and that is the problem.

How if the means of production is controlled BY THE PEOPLE, is that a gateway to corporations running government and pushing ultra nationalism ?

It would have to be a pure form and that hardly ever occurs. I think it may be happening somewhere - what nations have a pure form of socialism?

How does a pure form of capitalism bring about facism?

i dont think there ever has been a pure form of socialism.

but even attempts at socialism like the USSR did not bring about fascism, maybe you are confusing authoritarianism.

unregulated Capitalism will always lead to wealth inequality, which will create the need for the elites to eventually create a scapegoat to serve as a release valve of built up animosity.

"pure" capitalism I assume you mean unregulated, is actually the worst kind of capitalism.

Some good points. A few things to consider. You mentioned that the USSR attempted socialism- how did it go wrong?

I just don’t see how socialism could work without some form of authoritarianism.

You said income inequality is the issue. I’m not completely sure about that. I believe crony capitalism which involves an under the table merger of private and public relations is a problem. With that comes illegal activities. That can happen under a socialist type of setting - Clinton and Gates gets wealthy off their ‘foundations.’
So take away political advantages, and other illegal activities and let the natural supply and demand economics occur. I don’t think government should be dominated by the haves. Income equality should only be limited by our work ethic not opportunity, etc. Socialism by nature will require some type of governmental monitoring and regulation which can open the door to communism and then fascism. Now other factors can come into play that result in the fascist take over of any government and economic system but if we look at the system itself you have to explain how all things being equal, income equality is 1.bad and 2. unfair.
I think it can be those things but only if there are illegal or unethical forces at play.

That’s a loaded statement. What does means of production controlled by the people mean in a practical way? How exactly would that play out? I also see you equated corporate control of government and ultra nationalism with fascism. Which can be one form of fascism.

My brand of capitalism would have no lobbyists, no corporate influence in parties or elections (full transparency) with money out of politics and no 2 party system. Your view of capitalism is jaded by illegal activity and rigging of our political system. America has a lot of socialism and CRONY capitalism mixed in as currently constructed and run. We have a highly manipulated governmental and economic system. Blame the people who rigged the system from very early on.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say that "self-sufficiency" is not a bad idea.

Self-sufficiency will never work with the pillars of Fascism though. Honestly, Idk how self-sufficiency would ever work in a modern age. The scale of production and supply and demand is global. So a truly self-sufficient state would have to have a monopoly on some natural resource.

Monopolies, of course, are the same problem with late capitalism. Now I would say monopolies lead to a type of commodity-driven dependency. Basically monopolies aren't just too big to fail. They become too necessary to fail. That's like the exact opposite of what a free market is supposed to be.

Self sufficiency won’t work on a mass scale. People are too dependent on imported cheese.

it’s a goal to strive for though, for those who can get past that.

Lol, what?!?
Self sufficiency requires no imports Lisa. No cheap clothes from Walmart imported from China, no pecorino romano from Italy etc.

How many people are going to realistically sign up for that?

We’ve already been living that life...People get their goods that they sell from many different vendors..it’s what makes up the economy.

I don’t think your understanding what I’m saying. True self sufficiency requires either only what you can produce yourself or what you can get from local supply chains - imported cheese and cheap shit from Asia are no longer options

No, it doesn’t. If you can be self sufficient selling from other vendors..than that works too.
