RE: Fascism

I have to stop here because I won't have any readers left at all if I continue. However, writing about this has been enlightening for me.
🐈 Not sure if I can read it but it is a great subject for me to enquire... I just prefer sources in Russian language (when it comes to such texts full of complex abstractions...)

I have a little trouble reading stuff in Russian, myself :)
This year I watched several great video-essays on fascism in Poland, Italy, Japan. I am not going to recommend them to you, cause they were in Russian. Heh. The subject is complex, actually. Labeling a 'fascism' label is easy but that is simplification by 300% in most of the times; thats why this term has so much explanations - which are very very different to each other!
That's what my post says, exactly. I quote the only leader who ever called himself a fascist, Mussolini. And I quote the man Mussolini quoted, Giovanni Gentile. These people called themselves fascists. They founded the fascist ideology and they defined fascism. I label no one else a fascist, nor do I attempt a definition. I leave it to people to decide if any government fits the terms described by Mussolini and Gentile.
I was trained in history (undergrad...not grad.) I'm a skeptic. I don't throw labels around. If Mussolini says it's fascist, well, he should know :))
pps. may I advertise to you a few tunes in Russian?

recently i developed a slight addiction to this great artist.
even if you could not get the lyrics... I am sure a pleasure
watching this artist performing is guaranteed. 😍
Thank you! I will listen to that later. The only thing I know how to say in Russian is "thank you" :))
