- Every Republican president since the 1970s has been called a fascist. Ironic, no? After all, fascism has its roots in the left. Dinesh D'Souza, author of The Big Lie, explains.

“He’s a fascist!”
For decades, this has been a favorite smear of the left, aimed at those on the right. Every Republican president-for that matter, virtually every Republican-since the 1970s has been called a fascist; now, more than ever.
This label is based on the idea that fascism is a phenomenon of the political right. The left says it is, and some self-styled white supremacists and neo-Nazis embrace the label.
But are they correct?
To answer this question, we have to ask what fascism really means: What is its underlying ideology? Where does it even come from?
These are not easy questions to answer. We know the name of the philosopher of capitalism: Adam Smith. We know the name of the philosopher of Marxism: Karl Marx. But who’s the philosopher of fascism?
Yes-exactly. You don’t know. Don’t feel bad. Almost no one knows. This is not because he doesn’t exist, but because historians, most of whom are on the political left, had to erase him from history in order to avoid confronting fascism’s actual beliefs. So, let me introduce him to you. His name is Giovanni Gentile.
Born in 1875, he was one of the world’s most influential philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century. Gentile believed that there were two “diametrically opposed” types of democracy. One is liberal democracy, such as that of the United States, which Gentile dismisses as individualistic-too centered on liberty and personal rights-and therefore selfish. The other, the one Gentile recommends, is “true democracy,” in which individuals willingly subordinate themselves to the state.
Like his philosophical mentor, Karl Marx, Gentile wanted to create a community that resembles the family, a community where we are “all in this together.” It’s easy to see the attraction of this idea. Indeed, it remains a common rhetorical theme of the left.
For example, at the 1984 convention of the Democratic Party, the governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, likened America to an extended family where, through the government, people all take care of each other.
Nothing’s changed. Thirty years later, a slogan of the 2012 Democratic Party convention was, “The government is the only thing we all belong to.” They might as well have been quoting Gentile.
Now, remember, Gentile was a man of the left. He was a committed socialist. For Gentile, fascism is a form of socialism-indeed, its most workable form. While the socialism of Marx mobilizes people on the basis of class, fascism mobilizes people by appealing to their national identity as well as their class. Fascists are socialists with a national identity. German Fascists in the 1930s were called Nazis-basically a contraction of the term “national socialist.”
For Gentile, all private action should be oriented to serve society; there is no distinction between the private interest and the public interest. Correctly understood, the two are identical. And who is the administrative arm of the society? It’s none other than the state. Consequently, to submit to society is to submit to the state-not just in economic matters, but in all matters. Since everything is political, the state gets to tell everyone how to think and what to do.

Fascism was created when Mussolini didn't get his spaghetti he had ordered
The chef and mussolini had different definitions...

Oh my god, who would have known that the anti fascists were the real fascists all along!
Edit: This is sarcastic
Gosh* I'm sorry pls don't hate hate on me
No this video is wrong. The left is about social equality and less social hierarchy. The right is about higher social hierarchy. Please don't listen to liars like De Souza. Do your own research. Google it! Capitalism creates a hierarchy between rich and poor and fascism creates a hierarchy between the dominant race and the inferior race as it tries to establish a "strictly regimented society" THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF FASCISM!!!, therefore FASCISM IS ON THE RIGHT!

@@commenter6973 I'm Italian and no, Giovanni gentile isn't the creator of fascism, in twenty years of fascism in Italy we had the most number of privatization in our history and the right of Proletarian are soppresed in violence. To rise to power, Mussolini allied himself with the capitalist and conservative right and repressed all forms of left and trade unions. However, let's analyze from the social point of view, capitalist society is hierarchical or vertical, there are men who are higher and men who are lower and this also happens with fascism. instead the communism conceived by karl Marx foresees the abolition of hierarchies and therefore promotes a horizontal society. This also happened with Nazism in Germany, and it is not that if you call yourself "national socialism" then you are a "socialist" the facts do not count, it is not that if my name is fish then I am. So the capitalist and fascism are very similar.

Real fascists were nothing more than capitalists, supported by big companies
@@socialismodemocracia9366
Hitler and Mussolini weren't capitalists.
They're supported by STATE controlled corporations.
Capitalism is the free exchange of goods and services, when you restrict exchanges between people thats not capitalist, having a state technically own every business in a country (nazi germany, hitler could seize any property/means of production whenever he wanted and it was legal for him to do so) isn't capitalist.
You can argue they're state corporatists, but they're not at all capitalist, i love how commies like you always bring up "lol read a book" yet you call a statist that hates the free market and freedom itself a capitalist.
All drugs should be legal to sell, use and own
All weapons should be legal to sell, use and own
Taxation is theft.
These are pure capitalist views on government and it's regulatory actions, the nazis despised these ideas.
I'm a pragmatic libertarian minarchist, i support regulation that stifles monopolization and very light environmental regulation, you have the right to consume black tar heroine and to build a stationary cannon on your roof.
@Marcus Randall No he wasn't.
HAH the notion that Hitler was a Marxist is laughable. Feel free to actually read one of his speeches or books. His open contempt for all communist ideology and Marx himself is a consistent and significant feature of his rhetoric. Hitler himself said that Marxism is inherently Jewish because Marx was Jewish, and that it was a weak and contemptible ideology designed to ruin a nation's ability to self determine; Even going so far as to say that Communism existed to serve the Jews that (according to him) were trying to take control of the world. He called his ideology National Socialism not because it was based on socialist ideology, but because socialism was very popular in Germany. Multiple parties called themselves some variant of socialism. The first concentration camps were built to detain outspoken socialists and socialist ideology was banned after the Nazi party came to power.
I know it's popular to equate Hitler and the Nazis with stuff people don't like, but you can't claim Hitler was even a little bit Marxist without ignoring all of the relevant history, including his own freaking words.
@Marcus Randall In what way was he a marxist?
"Facism is when the government does stuff" - Benito Mussolini probably
I’m pretty sure the quote was “Socialism is when the government does stuff” by Karl Marx

@@gary3936 They condemned everyone who was not them. Stalin killed Communists in the soviet union. They called Jews Socialists and Communists, I know that you are not saying it but with your argument I can make the claim that you think that Jews are Socialist and Communist.
Secondly it is about political power, why would you want other people with the same ideas as you but with less murder to rise up.
I can point out that they killed Capitalists as they were seen as greedy, especially at a time where millions of Germans were starving and unemployed.
Furthermore there is a thing called the conservative left as well as a thing called the progressive right. Conservative and progressive is not just a left right thing, after all conservative values fuel into nationalism as it promotes the family the responsibilities of men and women and helpfully an increase in the population.
Also the video points out the origins of Fascism as being National Socialism made by a leftist philosopher and taken up by ex-Socialists in Mussolini case and on that same video the claim that Fascism is right wing is made.
Fascism has no direct doctrine. It was a socialistic movement that Benito Mussolini founded and called it fascismo

The best way to avoid history from repeating itself, is learning and understanding what it was.
Nationalist Socialists and fascists referred to themselves as left-wing socialists and were both big government gun grabbers. The Nazi's were a merger of two socialist parties, including the economically socialist Political Worker's Circle (PAC), joined at the hip with the european communists. However, the Nazi's formed a coalition government with a right-wing populist party in Germany called the German National People's Party (DNVP), which had more seats than the Nazi's did. So that coalition might've been right-wing populist, but Hitler kept calling his party, "From the camp of bourgeois tradition, it takes national resolve, and from the materialism of the Marxist dogma, living, creative Socialism," anti-liberal, and anti-capitalist.
@@MaxAbramson3 So Far right neo nazis are really left wing ? ? LOL : )

Yes. And fight against canceling historical figures, tearing down their statues. History, and the people who made history, for good or ill, have a lot to teach us that can inform our future.
I agree, but it also requires understanding how the use of philosophical and political terms and concepts gets muddled over time.
If you were to study the origin of liberalism, for example, starting with John Locke, you'd be very confused by its applications in modern American cultural context, where the meaning has become more like an oxymoron.
I prefer to resist these ambiguities and refer back to source material and origins, because the changes often have the intent of fooling people, engineering the way they think.
Case example: the Swastica existed for thousands of years in the Hindu religion and meant prosperity. Hitler stole it and now when people see it they think of bigotry and destruction.
Those who seek power will steal words and symbols to wear like wolves in sheep clothing and trick people into following them. This creates historical ambiguities down the road.

@Spartan 506 That's what it said on the video.
As Gandhi said.....
"Mussolini's care of the poor, his opposition to super-urbanization, his efforts to bring about coordination between capital and labor, seem to me to demand special attention ... My own fundamental objection is that these reforms are compulsory. But it is the same in all democratic institutions. What strikes me is that behind Mussolini's implacability is a desire to serve his people. Even behind his emphatic speeches there is a nucleus of sincerity and of passionate love for his people. It seems to me that the majority of the Italian people love the iron government of Mussolini."

+a b They called him a philosopher, so...
Jos Meid Yes but if I want to know about fascist belief I'd rather look at what Mussolini said, not what Gentile said. I find it interesting, and maybe suspiciously convenient, that they quote Gentile more than Mussolini. There were plenty of different intellectuals that were supported or tolerated by the fascist regime, many of them were at odds with each other (example D'Annunzio and Marinetti) and none of them dictated the philosophy of fascism, Mussolini did (in fact he decided to persecute the Jews even if some Jews were among the founders of the Fascist party). In this case the dishonesty of pragerU is clear

The head of the Italian communist party Niccola Bombacci was appointed as economics minister by Mussolini and 75% of Italy was nationalized under state socialism.
Mussolini quotes, many after he became a fascist........
"Marx was the greatest of all theorists of socialism."
"Socialism has to remain a terrifying and a majestic thing. If we follow this line, we shall be able to face our enemies."
"The law of socialism is that of the desert: a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. Socialism is a rude and bitter truth, which was born in the conflict of opposing forces and in violence. Socialism is war, and woe to those who are cowardly in war. They will be defeated."
"The root of our psychological weakness was this: We socialists have never examined the problems of nations. The International was never concerned with it. The International is dead, paralyzed by events. Ten million proletarians are today on the battlefield."
"You cannot get rid of me because I am and always will be a socialist. You hate me because you still love me."
"Do not believe, even for a moment, that by stripping me of my membership card you do the same to my Socialist beliefs, nor that you would restrain me of continuing to work in favor of Socialism and of the Revolution"
"Lenin is an artist who has worked men, as other artists have worked marble or metals. But men are harder than stone and less malleable than iron. There is no masterpiece. The artist has failed. The task was superior to his capacities."
"I know the Communists. I know them because some of them are my children"
"I shall defend this pact with all my strength, and if Fascism does not follow me in collaboration with the Socialists, at least no one can force me to follow Fascism."
"Standing by me and helping my work as newspaper man were the Fascisti. They were composed of revolutionary spirits who believed in intervention. They were youths-the students of the universities, the socialist syndicalists-destroying faith in Karl Marx by their ideals."
"It was inevitable that I should become a Socialist ultra, a Blanquist, indeed a communist. I carried about a medallion with Marx’s head on it in my pocket. I think I regarded it as a sort of talisman. Marx had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet."
"I never felt that there was any conflict between my military duties and my Socialism. Why should not a good soldier be also a fighter in the class war?"
"Italy is not a capitalist country according to the meaning now conventionally assigned to that term."
"Three-fourths of the Italian economy, industrial and agricultural, is in the hands of the state. And if I dare to introduce to Italy state capitalism or state socialism, which is the reverse side of the medal, I will have the necessary subjective and objective conditions to do it."
"It is no longer an economy aiming at individual profit, but economy concerned with collective interest."
"When the war is over, in the world's social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth's riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances."
"Some still ask of us: what do you want? We answer with three words that summon up our entire program. Here they are…Italy, Republic, Socialization. . .Socialization is no other than the implantation of Italian Socialism"
"For this I have been and am a socialist. The accusation of inconsistency has no foundation. My conduct has always been straight in the sense of looking at the substance of things and not to the form. I adapted socialisticamente to reality. As the evolution of society belied many of the prophecies of Marx, the true socialism folded from possible to probable. The only feasible socialism socialisticamente is corporatism, confluence, balance and justice interests compared to the collective interest."
"I owe most to Georges Sorel. This master of syndicalism by his rough theories of revolutionary tactics has contributed most to form the discipline, energy and power of the fascist cohorts."
Yes because they are.
An early supporter of the Fascist movement, he has been called the philosopher of Fascism. Gentile cooperated with the fascist government and became an apologist
of the totalitarian state, which he viewed as the embodiment of the moral spirit. He called for the total submission of the personality to the state and for the dissolution of individuals in political history.

"Former Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, is quoted as saying, “Fascism should more appropriate be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power. Benito Mussolini
That sounds a lot like the globalists and their NWO, does it not?
I've seen the quote. I don't know if it's true or not. If it is, then America is fascist, no matter who you vote for, because corporate cronyism and back dealing is at play weather Democrat
or Republicans are in.
Communism isn't a viable alternative either, because it's simply a massive conglomeration of state, industry, and military. It may be due to Italian language. The term corporate means body (ie
corpse,corporeal), to imply many acting under one body, much like how Catholic refers to being one with the body of Christ.
Nathan Sharp: Look at a photo of the House of Representatives, and notice what is mounted on the wall on either side of the Speaker. Fascism has been within the US since Thomas Jefferson and the creation of the political parties. It was Jefferson's party that ushered in the word, Democratic.
You don't know what Corporatism is, do you?
Corporatism: "The control of a state or organization by large interest groups."
Example: "Fascism was the high point of corporatism."
A political party, labor union, or a grouping of the members of the wealthy power elite, such as a "round table group" (NGO), is an interest group. The UN and EU are very good examples of controlled authority, as well as any corporate state/government being controlled by the same groups. This is why FDR stated that he admired Mussolini's fascism. It was FDR who helped create the UN, which originated with the Lend-Lease Plan, before it was revealed to the public and organized as an official world authority. The UN is controlled by corporate interests.
You might also find that Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler were controlled by large corporate interests, outside of Russia, Italy, and Germany, and thus, so were their governments instead of the other way around. Marx was also an elitist puppet of the old noble ruling class.
The United States Govt. has also been controlled by a group of the wealthy power elite, especially financiers, since its founding. FDR stated that it started under Jackson, but in reality, it started under Washington, Hamilton, and Jefferson with the war debt, Wall Street, and trade with Europe.
Fascism is the idea of a state identity btw for anyone wondering

Wow. Incredible video. Thank you!
You should see the rebuttal video. D’Souza - as always - is talking out his ass.
All it takes is a single google search to realize that the creator of Fascism is not Giovanni but is actually Benito Mussolini who is right leaning.
History and fact prove you wrong. You have been lied to for years. Put aside the brain-mush you have been force fed since grade school and do some actual fact finding.
Mussolini was of the 'right'? Next you will say that hitler was conservative. Another lie foisted on many minds by the propaganda that is much of the media, social and otherwise.
Sources for you search? Here's a hint. Most people don't watch CNN and MSNBC for the same reason thety don't eat out of the toilet.
@@keithdavis4649 are dumb Hitler was extremly conservative
Fascism was created by Giovanni Gentile and Mussolini followed.
@@JoseGarcia-xf5gk True, however Giovanni only ever philosophized about fascism but Mussolini was the first person to actually establish the party. Good point though.
Mussolini quotes, many after he became a fascist........
"Marx was the greatest of all theorists of socialism."
"Socialism has to remain a terrifying and a majestic thing. If we follow this line, we shall be able to face our enemies."
"The law of socialism is that of the desert: a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye. Socialism is a rude and bitter truth, which was born in the conflict of opposing forces and in violence. Socialism is war, and woe to those who are cowardly in war. They will be defeated."
"The root of our psychological weakness was this: We socialists have never examined the problems of nations. The International was never concerned with it. The International is dead, paralyzed by events. Ten million proletarians are today on the battlefield."
"You cannot get rid of me because I am and always will be a socialist. You hate me because you still love me."
"Do not believe, even for a moment, that by stripping me of my membership card you do the same to my Socialist beliefs, nor that you would restrain me of continuing to work in favor of Socialism and of the Revolution"
"Lenin is an artist who has worked men, as other artists have worked marble or metals. But men are harder than stone and less malleable than iron. There is no masterpiece. The artist has failed. The task was superior to his capacities."
"I know the Communists. I know them because some of them are my children"
"I shall defend this pact with all my strength, and if Fascism does not follow me in collaboration with the Socialists, at least no one can force me to follow Fascism."
"Standing by me and helping my work as newspaper man were the Fascisti. They were composed of revolutionary spirits who believed in intervention. They were youths-the students of the universities, the socialist syndicalists-destroying faith in Karl Marx by their ideals."
"It was inevitable that I should become a Socialist ultra, a Blanquist, indeed a communist. I carried about a medallion with Marx’s head on it in my pocket. I think I regarded it as a sort of talisman. Marx had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet."
"I never felt that there was any conflict between my military duties and my Socialism. Why should not a good soldier be also a fighter in the class war?"
"Italy is not a capitalist country according to the meaning now conventionally assigned to that term."
"Three-fourths of the Italian economy, industrial and agricultural, is in the hands of the state. And if I dare to introduce to Italy state capitalism or state socialism, which is the reverse side of the medal, I will have the necessary subjective and objective conditions to do it."
"It is no longer an economy aiming at individual profit, but economy concerned with collective interest."
"When the war is over, in the world's social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth's riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. The Fascist revolution will make another decisive step to shorten social distances."
"Some still ask of us: what do you want? We answer with three words that summon up our entire program. Here they are…Italy, Republic, Socialization. . .Socialization is no other than the implantation of Italian Socialism"
"For this I have been and am a socialist. The accusation of inconsistency has no foundation. My conduct has always been straight in the sense of looking at the substance of things and not to the form. I adapted socialisticamente to reality. As the evolution of society belied many of the prophecies of Marx, the true socialism folded from possible to probable. The only feasible socialism socialisticamente is corporatism, confluence, balance and justice interests compared to the collective interest."
"I owe most to Georges Sorel. This master of syndicalism by his rough theories of revolutionary tactics has contributed most to form the discipline, energy and power of the fascist cohorts."
lol, the history of facism is censored using facist tactics. The Irony
Norse Titan
It is quite ironic.
Norse Titan it's not censored at all......... Like people know about. Gentile, it's just your uneducated ass listening to conspiracy theories to lower the general left side to create an "us against them" mentality
Egil heistad just that I brought up that it is repressed information doesn't mean that I am A) uneducated, and B) that it is not censored. It can still be censored, just that the information is available, doesn't mean it isn't censored. People can post videos or articles that can be taken down for having this information, and we wouldn't know about it, which is sort of the point of censorship.
Norse Titan But if your taught it in school it pretty much means it's not censored doesn't it? And no you're probably well educated, that's why you think that there's a government conspiracy censoring and hiding information from the public to make the right seen facist even though they know themselves that THEY'RE THE FACIST... Sure....
I was never taught this information in school, and I didn't necessarily say that it's a government conspiracy, but more of individuals on the left as well as leftist media
Actually makes me laugh they call conservatives, the people who stand for small government and strong on the 2nd amendment fascist.
The video makes the distinction of fascism too simplistic. For example, Fascism and Anarchism are complete opposites in some respects (Authoritarianism) but they're both considered far left. Fascism took hold in Germany due to the popularity of Nationalism, which is where the parallels to US conservatives come from.
If conservative stood for small government, wouldn't it be considered conservative to want the legalization of abortion and drugs?
@@geekyradical4985 yes and no. Do I want to syringes everywhere and more people with aids? Not at all. Legalize some drugs but not all of them. I have never really had a big problem with abortion. I think the right over reaches on this topic. I rather see them focus their efforts in teaching youth responsibility so they never have to make the choice in the first place. It's sad but it's not my problem or business. These two issues are nowhere near the same as the left issues with big government.
@@anomalyevolution40 Well, the point is that conservative just means reluctant to accept new ideas. Nothing to do with small government. Left wing's been defined by social equality and right wing by social hierarchy since the era of the French Revolution when those in the left wing of the National Assembly were in favour of revolution and justice for the people of the third estate while those in the right wing opposed the revolution and wanted to conserve the monarchy. Fascism's sort of the benchmark to which social hierarchy and inequality are measured. To claim that it isn't far-right would be blotting out reality.
@@geekyradical4985 i think the connection is that, as you said, cons are reluctant to change, the US is capitalistic, capitalism/free market requires small gov't. Seems to me in the US (as an outsider) the left want gov't intervention economically, but liberation in their personal lives. Then the right want freedom/no involvement from the gov't, except when it comes to freedoms that go against their beliefs. Am I right in thinking the right are more religious?
I remember there was this slogan over 2020 “we are all in this together “ lol. hmmmm.
When you have fascism giving your side a bad name so you try to say it's from the other side even though it's not:
Who's side? He's a classical liberal, Fascism is against liberalism with a burning passion
"Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism. These organisations (ie Fascism and social democracy) are not antipodes, they are twins."
Joseph Stalin
Lol, he's not on our side. Classical liberals are even worse than Marxists
I don't think Marxists themselves are bad
I don't understand, when and why has being on the right mean you're automatically a racist? Racism shouldn't be a political ideology because ANYONE can be racist. Also racist countries are usually authoritative and emphasise government and state powers, unlike conservative values.
Damn, Arthur Morgan is now a political philosopher?
@@dss345 Yes, we should go back to the 1800's, I use to think the world was changin' back then, I don't even understand this.... machine I'm usin' !
True dat, but in general the left is more accepting.
@@donaldrump71 not of differing opinions though.
Well, one isn't necessarily like Donald Trump if one's right wing, but left wing's been defined by social equality and right wing by social hierarchy since the era of the French Revolution when those in the left wing of the National Assembly were in favour of revolution and justice for the people of the third estate while those in the right wing opposed the revolution and wanted to conserve the monarchy. Racism contradicts social equality.

The narrator here is wrong that fascism isn’t a right wing ideology. It may incorporate some ideas of leftism like collectivism, but the rest is straight up conservative
Nearly every definition you used is a form of collectivist thinking. Conservatives believe the rights of the individual trumps the state's "right" to dictate policy. The political Left believes the opposite. It is by default totalitarian.
I'm pretty sure fascism is based on three core factors:
- Overly-patriotic, nationalism taken to the extreme (or as you know, Ultranationalism)
- Totalitarian government which controls every single aspect
- Overly-reactionary and aggressive stances against things like LGBT, feminism, immigration, globalization, secularism, etc...
So let's ask which type of people can qualify for those factors: the Left or the Right?
I stand corrected.

I like how this video doesn't bring up that fascism was adopted as a reactionary measure against Marxism, and that the Nazis in particular would have considered themselves anti communists first and foremost.
The term “terf” was made up to insult otherwise radical feminists that don’t believe in transgenderism.
Joe Rogan, who is (IMO) center/center-left has been called a “gateway to the alt right” for nothing more than differing in opinion.
Those who call themselves the “far right,” though I personally haven’t met any, have been reported to hate standard conservatives.
Likewise, wouldn’t fascism (which I would dare to say is a slightly more moderate {if altered} form of socialism) hate communism because of the latter’s lack of currency, eventual dissolution of the government and focus on class, among other things?
The saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is wrong. Particularly in political cases when one believes the other will bring the country in ruin.
The logic concludes therefore; being left and hating left wingers is a possibility.
More than a possibility, it’s an inevitability.
@@obviouslykaleb7998 "Disliking" and "basing your entire ideology around hating" are not one and the same. In particular, Hitler would have considered communism the primary enemy of Germany. The war in Western Europe was more about resources, revenge for WW1, and getting France and Britain out of the way. The main goal all along was the Soviet Union.
Anyways. The comment I made was just one point of many that this video completely ignores. But the biggest and most central flaw is a complete and utter misunderstanding of what the difference between left and right even is. The left seeks equality, whereas the right seeks hierarchy. Communism is left wing because it aims to eliminate social inequality. Communists would argue that a poor man in Germany and a poor man in Russia have more in common than a rich man and poor man does in Germany or Russia. Fascism is right wing because it seeks to enforce a hierarchy of racial and national superiority. The Nazi end goal was the subjugation or death of all "inferior races" - quite a change of tune from the communist objective of everyone holding hands and singing kumbya in a stateless, classless utopia. Fascists believe that racial and national differences are inherit and inferior races and nations are holding the superior ones back. Communists believe that race, nation, and class are equally artificial and used by the powers that be to keep them in power. These two views are, to put it bluntly, diametrically opposed.
This video implies a belief that the difference between right and left is that the right believes in freedom whereas the left believes in control, but this is a Reagan-era misconception born from a US-centric view of politics. That is actually the difference between libertarianism and authoritarianism, both of which have left and right wing variants. The conflation of these terms ties together the Republican coalition, but it is dangerous, as it goes with the subtle implication that as long as something is "right wing", there is no extreme, whereas if something is "left wing", it is inherently problematic. This is an extremely dangerous sentiment that could very well recreate fascism in the future, as it is the logic by which fascism arose in the first place.
Those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.
Thank you. You appear to be one of the few in this comment section that has an actual understanding of fascism’s beliefs and origins.
@@kasunex1772 The right doesn't believe in hierarchy of racial superiority. That is just another leftist lie. I was born and raised in a former communist Country. The Soviets believed in their Russian version of Communism forcing us Eastern Europeans (I'm Hungarian) to learn Russian (yes it was mandatory) and learning about Russian culture as superior people and leaders. That was racial superiority galore shoved down on our throat. The Left is the one who believes in hierarchy of classes and nations so they placed communist Russians on the pedestals. Communism killed 20 million In Eastern Europe alone! Yes thanks to the Left in the name of equality we were equal alright in our socialist commie country but equally oppressed and poor. Oppression and killing in the name of hierarchy is the phenomenon of the Left. You need to learn history.

Well, it depends on who's vision of Fascism you use. In reality fascism doesn't have a set economic system, the binding principle of fascism is whatever is best for the nation AND the people and that both should work in tandem. Fascism allows for many varieties.

@@MrCalimero The video is cartoonish and made for uneducated simpletons. Anyone who thinks the Nazis (or the Italian Fascists, -with whom Gentile had no affinity or gave any support to. The man was a liberal Idealist) had anything to do with Socialism bc they co-opted the name, just doesnt know what theyre talking about. Sure, they had some social programs but the Nazis were staunchly anti-union. The so-called great German economic miracle was funded by elite westerners, like Morgan and Ford, who felt that the Nazis could function as a bulwark against the spread of Bolshevism into Europe.
Political science and philosophy is complex. That Gentile wrote on the Philosophy hardly makes him a Marxist. He was not even a supporter of Mussolini. His works have not been translated into English, but that aside, we know what Fascism is through its actions -and that doesnt change whether you call it Neoliberalism or Neoconservatism. (and has exactly noting to do with the so-called Left. ie. Sosiclaism.

@@MrCalimero Here in reality, Far-right politics are politics further on the right of the left-right spectrum than the standard political right, particularly in terms of extreme nationalism,[1][2] nativist ideologies, and authoritarian tendencies. The term is often used to describe Nazism,[4] neo-Nazism, fascism, neo-fascism and other ideologies or organizations that feature ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, racist, anti-communist, or reactionary views.[5] These can lead to oppression, violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing, and even genocide against groups of people based on their supposed inferiority, or their perceived threat to the native ethnic group,[6][7] nation, state[8], national religion, dominant culture or ultraconservative traditional social institutions

uam sorry but the nazies did have an extencive socialist program. but it was exlusive to pure born germans. you might not wanne lable that as true socialisme and its not. but the name national-socialist is not inacurate. in some ways the nazi implimeted socialisme the most effectively. by investing heavly in jobs and infrastucture. the great diffrence comes in high tarifs and the privatization of national companies.

Do the workers own the means of production? No? lol
Mao Zedong no, you see, all socialism really is is big government. Socialism is where the government does stuff and the more stuff it does the socialistier it is and if it does a whole lot of stuff then it’s communism.
Edward Backman and you are wrong as socialism is an economic model which some ideologies follow hence names like "democratic socialists", "populist socialists" and the like. Workers owning the means of production is usually something communists would have and fascism is neither left nor right nor centrist but rather and alternative ideal
It was a joke, Edward Backman was talking shit on Cenk Uygur but no you are wrong workers ownership of the means of production is socialism. Communism is stateless and also the goal of most socialists. Idiots like Bernie calling themselfes "democratic socialist" are not socialist but social democrates. Fascism is far right, it is a ultra conservative ,reactionary and have private property.
Edward Backman communism is an ideology that supports socialism, socialism is an economic model which allows the workers to "gain" what they have earned from labour by giving their earnings to the government to distribute them, and that can lead to some problems but yeah.
Drake democratic socialism is a term that got misused a lot by bernie sanders. Theres a big difference between democratic socialism and social democracy. Social democracy is what bernie campaigns for nd what exists in scandinavia (free college, healthcare, progressive taxing etc.) But it is still firmly a capitalist ideology. Democratic socialism on the other hand is a socialist ideaology where the workers do own the means of production and private property is abolished, but there is still a democratically elected government.
Facism is to the left of the US and most capitalist countries including scandinavian ones, but it still remains on the right overall since the workers do not own the means of production, distribution and exchange and private property still exists.

There are 14 Characteristics of Fascism.
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists…
5. Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation.
6. Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government censorship and secrecy, especially in war time, are very common.
7. Obsession with National Security
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9. Protection of Corporate Power
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Suppression of Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12, Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
@Murray Wilson : These have very little to do with fa scis m, and very much to do with every dic tat ori al country in existence. These "characteristics" are the zod iac signs of poli tics.
@@_Historia.Magistra.Vitae. Again you show your idiocy. Yes, these very much are characteristics of Fascism. They are NOT "the zod iac signs of poli tics"!
While many of these points are indeed aligned with dictators, one of the defining characteristics of Fascism is that they are headed by an all powerful dictator, therefore many of the characteristics of fascism are also characteristics of dictators. However, not all dictators are Fascists, some are Monarchs or fall elsewhere politically.
@@Naris48 : Again, they have very little to do with fascism. If you want to know about the characteristics of fascism instead of generic characteristics of dictatorship, I highly suggest you go and read some proper history, starting from "the doctrine of fascism" by Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile. Fascism didn't even have a dictator. Mussolini was a Prime Minister, subservient to the King of Italy.
@@_Historia.Magistra.Vitae. Yes, they have EVERYTHIGN to do with Fascism! Why do you insist on denying reality? Mussolini was indeed a dictator, he claimed as much in 1925 when he seized power. Adolf Hitler was another Fascist dictator. The King of Italy became a figurehead after Mussolini's seized power, although the King was effectively reinstated when Mussolini was ousted in 1943 since the war was going very badly for Italy.
I suggest you read Umberto Eco and Lawrence Britt so you can get a clue.
@@Naris48 : Again, the reality is that those "characteristics" are describing generic dictatorship and could be applied to countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea, USSR and many others which have nothing to do with fas cis m whatsoever. By the definition of the word, Mussolini was not a proper dictator since he did not have all the power in Italy, unlike Hit ler had in Germany. Also Hit ler was not a fa sci st, he was a nati onal soc iali st. When it comes to Umberto Eco, he is as useless as your posted vague characteristics list.

Extreme left, radical left, left wing, left leaning - Right leaning, Right Wing, Radical right, Extreme right.
Honestly though, Those on the right don't exactly have a whole lot of extremists, and the difference between the right and the left is that the left puts for their extremists as these "war heroes" sent out to "FREE US ALL!"

Fascism is a dictatorial form of political ideology. Socialism, on the other hand, is an ideology where individuals of a society own the means of production. A fascist ruler wields supreme power and authority over a country. In contrast, rulers of socialist nations distribute power and authority among the states.
A dictator does not tolerate any criticism, opposition, or rebellion; freedom of speech takes a back seat. Compared to fascist regimes, socialist states allow more freedom of speech. Dictators control industries; but in socialist states, the ownership of the means of production lies with the public sector.
Your indoctrination is totally visible, on thing is the concept of socialism and other is the historical results of socialism .

The world is not strictly Black and White. Most Ideologies, including Socialism and Capitalism, are not defined by the extreme ends. Socialism has a lot of forms that are NOT Communism, such as what is found in Norway and the other Nordic countries.
Claiming that ALL Socialist nations, and Socialism itself, are Communist is like saying that all forms of Capitalism are Fascist (Which, yes, Fascism is indeed a right-wing ideology that incorporates Capitalism).

But, yeah, I guess just believe Dinesh.
@Bleem Wisspillow: _"It talks about fa sci sm being a "negation" of soc ialis m"_

Fascism is a third position.Not right or left but Authoritarian Center.
Not really, facism is more right leaning authoritarian and Communism is more left leaning authoritarian. But both are shit unspurisingly.
The problem with Fascism though is that it combines too much of the left to be truly right leaning. That is why it is called the third position since it combines a bit of the left and a bit of the right.
Branston Torr what part of the right is in fascism? Fascism is specifically the government controlling all resources and what you can and cannot do and can and cannot say. The Right wants to limit the government as much as possible and the left wants more of it! It’s that simple

The Crazed Maniac Nationalism, a Mixed Market System, Authoritarianism, Pro/Neo-Monarchism. Basically everything that Fascism stands for .
I feel like maybe we should start making more good idea vs. bad idea arguments and stop making so many left vs. right arguments. The good idea vs. bad idea ones seem to be much more useful in the scheme of things, especially when the solution to a problem is somewhere between left and right.
The only problem with good idea vs bad idea when it comes to dealing with the left is they think emotionalism vs good idea wins. It's hard to beat them with brains when they think with their emotions.
Onehappydawg Yeah, that's a legitimate problem. But somebody who does think logically can recognize good ideas most of the time. Just yelling at the idiots "I'm not a fascist, you're a fascist!" isn't going to accomplish much in the way of attracting those logical people, it will probably just drive them away and disenfranchise them. Stooping to your opponent's level isn't often a good idea as far as political discourse goes.
I don't see many stooping to their level. On the right I see most trying to use logic and common sense it is the progressive left that shouts at everyone they disagree with. In a group the progressive left is impossible to reason with, but when singled out and reasoned with one on one sometimes there can be a break though of the brainwashing they have had.
Onehappydawg Keyword "most", but MOSTLY fair enough. We can't always reason with the loud extremes of the political spectrum, so the most we can do is drown them out with reason until they can't be heard above the deafening sound of common sense.

I have learned elsewhere that it is a myth that Nazi is a contraction of National Socialist. It comes from jokes that were popular in Germany at the time , involving a country bumpkin named Ignacio. Nazi is a nickname for Ignacio. So Nazi was a name applied to the National Socialists by their opponents, as an insult. If this is correct, then we would not find Hitler or his supporters referring to themselves as Nazis.
Google celebrated Gentile not too long ago, it was all over on the search page in true google fashion. Sometimes they are just too bold.
Don’t forget Hillary “stronger together.”
In the actual founding document "The Doctrine of Fascism," co-written by Gentile and Mussolini, it explicitly opposes socialism:
"Fascism is therefore opposed to Socialism to which unity within the State (which amalgamates classes into a single economic and ethical reality) is unknown, and which sees in history nothing but the class struggle. Fascism is likewise opposed to trade unionism as a class weapon, but when brought within the orbit of the State, Fascism recognises the real needs which gave rise to socialism and trade-unionism, giving them due weight in the guild or corporative system in which divergent interests are coordinated and harmonised in the unity of the State." (p.15) So Mr. D'SOuza's history is fundamentally wrong (unless he knows more about fascism that Gentile amd Mussolini.
will O'Brien Adolph Hitler admired Mussolini in many respects and even followed some of his ideas but Hitler also disagreed with Mussolini on the subject of Socialism and D'Souza discusses this in length in one of his books.
This comment section gives me hope. D'Souza just turns to the internet now because all his books and movies were destroyed by actual historians.
@@ericmorris3030 Well, Hitler obviously didn't give a damn about social equality. He dissolved trade unions, and used communists and social democrats as scapegoats for Germany's problems. His failure to introduce social reform was a large factor that resulted in his falling out with Ernst Röhm and the SA. That led to the Night of the Long Knives in which every member of the Nazi Party who actually had socialist beliefs was wiped out. In a socialist society, the community provides for everyone and all private ownership of the means of production's forbidden. That just wasn't the case with Nazi Germany. Hitler was far-right. His extreme nationalism, sexism, and persecution of communists and minorities are evidence of that.
So basically, the Gentile didn't like socialism because it was not Authoritarian enough. So he determined to make Fascism as socialist corporatism! Got it! The government is a nanny-state for large guilds who provide everything for the people, with an assist from the dictator in power. Man, that's sort of like communism/socialism, except it is a bit more lazy LOL.
This quote is sort of like saying, we do not like Coke (Socialism/Marxism), there are too many calories (freedom) and makes people sick (hopeful). We should make Diet Coke (Fascism) because it has no calories (freedom), keeps people healthy (better controlled).
Eric Morris that’s false. Something many historians leave out of their history is the fact that Hitler hated Italian fascism and despised Franco’s Spanish fascism. Nazism and fascism are similar, but they are not the same ideology, and I can tell this for certain as someone who hates both ideologies like any other decent human being. Nazism is not a form of socialism, when Gregor Strasser suggested to Hitler that he promotes socialism, he responded by calling strasser a moron and eventually having him killed in the night of the long knives. Not to mention Hitler privatized Germany’s economy and banned trade unions.
Fascism doesn't care about your national (ethnic) identity, only for your loyalty, subordination and support.
National socialism is just that. National socialism. Not fascism.
Both are national as opposed to international, but national socialism (in '30s Germany) was nationalist with an aim of expansionism (or colonialism) for nationalist purposes

This video should be entitled "How to distort history, facts and ideologies to pass your agenda"
Sure buddy if you say so. Don’t mind presenting any arguments here. Just be...a fascist.
The history of fascism is too long and too complicated to be explained in a short you tube video or even worse in the comments thread. I will give you a couple of arguments though.
The major argument here is that fascism left in origin mainly because it mandates that "the government" controls everything, like industry and commerce. This is, however wrong as all political books define fascism as a form of far right radical authoritarian nationalism. As part of this agenda the control of the press, commerce, industry and pretty much every day activity is essential. It is not a left agenda, it is the only agenda. Mussolini (the true creator of fascism) had to control these sectors to maintain power, just like right now in North Korea. This control is not the ideology of fascism it is the means required to have fascism. The core of fascism is to have the whole country as a one body serving the nation. Left has the whole country as one body serving society, hence socialism (or communism from serving the community). This is a big difference that this video does not even mentioning, but it is the essence that sets the two ideologies apart. As a matter of a fact, The Doctrine of Fascism, the book by Mussolini that defined fascism, states "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the right a fascist century". Giovanni Gentile embraced fascism and wrote the manifesto five years after Mussolini had already established his authoritarian government and published his book Doctrine of Fascism, that by now was a textbook.
Another argument Dinesh D'Souza is mentioning is that Fascism stands against the human rights. That is the total opposite of modern day left. It is actually the opposite of the modern day right as well. Also I 've never heard anyone calling any Republican president fascist.
In conclusion in this video Dinesh D'Souza picks and chooses historical facts, sections of political ideologies, and historic events to make his point. The facts are mentioned out of context, out of order and frankly out of touch with reality.
Someone is a leftist derp
Lol no.
Just stating the historic facts.... with my real name too.
While yes , fascism had its roots in a leftist,
This gentilism has never truly been practiced, and as such I feel as though gentile’s fascism is not a good representation of modern fascism. For example, gentile believed in a system that betters everyone(so he described it as a family), but the main instances of fascist governments we have seen (Japan,Germany,and Italy), would intentionally murder and rape people within their own borders that weren’t of the “upper class” of person, and even those with claimed racial superiority would be forced to fight, starved, and left to rot in camps, should they be gay, communist, or follow a non-accepted religion. I feel as though gentile did not invent modern fascism, he created modern nationalism.

As someone who is politically more associated with the left I found this video worth very little educationally speaking. He extrapolates information in a way not originally intended by Gentile and also the right has adopted many of his views as well. For example Hyper Nationalism, a rejection of globalism, strong national boarders as a way to secure national sovereignty. It's almost as if the views of an influential political philosopher was adopted by people.

Fascist describes a political movement/party/person that convinced themselves that no tactic is too repugnant, no alliance is too distasteful, and no moral compromise is too loathsome when they are serving the lofty goal of getting themselves in power.
I don’t know about this explanation as to the “Origins” of Fascism as an Idea or Word.
Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Party of Italy was named for the fasces, which the members adopted in 1919 as their emblem. The Winged Liberty dime, minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945, depicts the fasces on its reverse side.
(The Fasces was; The Axe representing Supreme Authority, the Rods; Punishment, the Binding; Strength of Unity)
The fasces, insignia of official authority in ancient Rome (& Etruria) The name derives from the plural form of the Latin fascis (“bundle”).
The fasces was carried by the lictors, or attendants, and was characterized by an ax head projecting from a bundle of elm or birch rods about 5 feet (1.5 metres) long and tied together with a red strap; it symbolized penal power.
For those of you saying this is somehow wrong or misleading if you could point out the error is Dinesh's claims, I'm sure you could convince me.
AJKeio liberal democracy (what Dinesh calls "conservatism" also has its roots in radical leftism-- the enlightenment itself was far left in the era in which it was born.
Shhh, he doesn't really want you to point out errors otherwise he would have read other comments that have pointed out similar things. He simply wants his world view to be reaffirmed by an echo chamber.
I am honestly curious. I just find it hard to believe that big government in which the state is in control of everything most everything could possibly be right wing. Today's left looks more and more like the then Nazi party who's goal was big government and silencing the opinions of free people.
"... big government and silencing the opinions of free people..." sounds like the entire Trump agenda, to be honest. He's put into action more executive orders than any other President in the last 50 odd years, meaning he's on pace to sign the most of all time, he tries to use the office of the Presidency to dictate the hiring and firing within independent businesses, he wants to wrest control from both the judicial and legislative branches of government to the executive branch (a trend started by the last republican president), he urges the justice department to investigate independent media and reduce the efficacy of the first amendment, he utilizes Orwellian tactics with weirdly positive results- anything he doesn't agree with simply isn't real, he openly contradicts himself from one week to another (in a sort of bizarrely infantile version of double think)-also he has an incredibly punchable face. That last one isn't relevant, but true nonetheless.
Nazis were not socialist, and there has never been a socialistic fascist state. Fascism is actually corporativist.
"Well I'd like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There's only an up or down: [up] man's old -- old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. " - Ronald Reagan

Instead of using terms left to right or right to left, socialism, communism, fascism, etc..

The Constitution & Conservatism are the less government authority/control side aka more individual freedom, but not so far as to support anarchy.
