This video took about four months to make and wouldn't be possible without my supporters on Patreon. So I want to start by giving a huge thanks to them. If you'd like to chip in and support me check out www.patreon.com/rchapman. Video notes below: I designed 'we think with the blood of our nation' to be a memorable phrase that can help people identify fascism. That being said, it's not formulated like a formal definition and needs more nuances in order to stand as one, so I regret calling it a definition. The phrasing was meant to invoke a fanaticism behind a singular nationalist mass movement. Fascism does not tolerate other principles conflicting with its nationalism (something that distinguishes it from more moderate forms of nationalism that might be content, for example, existing in a democracy). Fascism's nationalism wants to impose itself on others. Other ways of thinking are obstacles to fascists that need to be removed. Political or economic systems like socialism or capitalism, as stated in the video, are only tolerated if they're believed to be helping the fascist cause. They're dropped, attacked or modified as needed. The 'we' in 'we think with the blood of our nation' means a collective of people thinking together as a political mass movement. Fascism has to be in the context of mass politics. It gains its power and legitimacy by inciting mass enthusiasms, making it a phenomenon of the modern era when political legitimacy was seen in terms of popular support. It's not something used to describe the rule of emperors or monarchs, who hold themselves to be sovereign - the highest political authority. Fascists leaders, by contrast, hold the nation to be more important than themselves. Everything they do, they do for the nation. They merely know and have the power to act in its interests. A tighter albeit more awkward re-rephasing might go something like 'We think together with the blood of our nation *and will tolerate nothing else*.' The phrase really just gets your foot in the door for understanding and identifying fascism, similar to how 'the abolition of private property' gets your foot in the door for understanding and identifying communism. Translating it into a formal definition would look something like: 'fascism is a political ideology that conceives ideal political life as being wholly governed by a singular conception of national consciousness.' You could also think of it as the rough right-wing equivalent to communism. Communists want to total political control over their state for a single conception of a socialist cause, just as fascists want total control over their state for a singular conception of a nationalist cause. I also think that Roger Griffin's definition is a good one, but again it's complex. If you want to remember Griffin's more easily, I think you can do fine reducing it down to the last part: 'populist ultra-nationalism.' To use that, you have to understand what populism is (I've made a video on it). More self-criticism: I simplified the conditions in Germany before Nazi rule down to hyperinflation and constraints from the Treaty of Versailles. There were about 16 years of turmoil between WWI and the Nazis coming into power and I wish I spent at least another sentence or two fleshing that context out. Hyperinflation was a factor behind the early success of the Nazi party and led Hitler to mount a failed coup in 1923, but it only lasted about two years. When Hitler came into power, he did it by riding a wave of despondency coming from another economic crisis: the Great Depression. The Treaty was still seen as a major villainous constraint on Germany at the time, but there was more emphasis on it being a national humiliation and military constraint than an economic constraint. The broad point is that economic conditions were quite bad (in all but a few years in the mid-late '20s), and Hitler (and many Germans) believed that Germany was being humiliated and needed to rise to its glorious potential. Fascism was their means of doing it. Some commenters also think I claimed that there have only been two fascist movements: interwar Italy and Germany. What I actually said is that they are the only two movements that have remotely uncontroversially earned the label (a point widely accepted among fascism scholars). You can make the case that other movements have been fascist. My point was that the fascism described in this video (which stuck close to our accepted scholarly understanding of it) should be the basis for identifying fascism elsewhere. Spain under Franco is the next 'fascism' people tend to pick, but that label tends to come from foreigners and not the Spanish themselves (at least from that time period). Most professional analysis I've seen rejects the label and argues that Franco's fascism was superficial. They claim he adopted fascist imagery and slogans to (successfully) get war support from Italy and Germany, and if you look at what he believed, his movement, his rule, then you'll see it wasn't fascist. More of a conservative military dictatorship. I plan on making a video on it at some point. I saw some people say Hitler wasn't a Catholic or take offense to the passing remark I made about his Catholicism. I think it's safe to say that he wasn't a Catholic in the traditional sense, but he was raised Catholic, claimed he believed in God (shown in the video), and also claimed to be a Catholic fairly late in his life. As he put it to his army adjutant Gerhard Engel in 1941: "I am now as before a Catholic and will always remain so" (from Engels' diary: 'At The Heart of the Reich'). I called it 'his Catholicism' and left it at that. One last thing: it seems a lot of people think 'National Socialism isn't Fascism,' which gets some basic things wrong and I think is a message being spread by other KZreadrs. My response to that is in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Ypuau8R-m5nYcrw.html - Ryan

It was an extremely specific ideology that can be easily defined tbh….. Fascism as described by its ideological creator Giovanni Gentile…..”Fascism as a consequence of its Marxian and Sorelian patrimony conjoined with the influence of contemporary Italian idealism, through which Fascist thought attained maturity, conceives philosophy as praxis.” Fascism is defined by the world’s leading scholar Emilio Gentile, “For Mussolini, syndicalism was the most modern embodiment of the spirit of Marxist doctrine, which he added to the myths of his Nietzschean aristocratic philosophy to reach a socialism of quality rather than quantity.”

I’m italian. First of all, great video, you summed up the italian situation pretty well (even though there are some aspects that should be described more thoroughly to give a truly comprehensive view of our situation but I understand that if it were to be done this video would have been 3 hours long). One thing that didn’t allow Italy to become a truly totalitarian fascist state is that, unlike germans who (because of the legacy of protestantism) could somewhat homogenously speak german, Italy (especially in the south) had very low rates of italian literacy, and the country was strongly divided culturally in many pockets of different languages and cultures. And that’s why a huge number of italians never really subscribed to the idea of “italian supremacy” because many of them didn’t even consider themselves italian and honestly didn’t even cared to consider themselves one (especially in the South). Fascists tried to “italianize” Italy but they didn’t really succeed because of scholastic dispertion, poverty and overall a lack of care by huge swats of the population, and they managed to rise to power only because said poor, illiterate people (because of their situation) didn’t participate at all in the political life. I’m going to tell you an anecdote to clear this thing. When Hitler came and visited Italy in the late 30s, he visited Naples (my city, third largest in Italy and the most important military port in the country). During the parade, in total silence, Hitler and Mussolini greeted from a car with the fascit salute. In the total silence a voice from a old man rang out, saying “ma ch stann facienn? Vern si afora chiove?” (In neapolitan: “what are they doing? They’re checking if it’s raining?”) which gives you a very good portray of how the poor people saw fascism as a whole, and they were too concerned with their poor situation. Great video, keep it up!

You are right that protestantism in Germany with Luther's translation of the bible made a decisive contribution to the spread of the standard language and of literacy in general. However, like Italy, Germany was (and is) "strongly divided culturally in many pockets of different languages ​​and cultures", as you put it. The division into protestant and catholic regions even contributed to this. Only the victory of protestant Prussia over catholic Austria (and it's many german allies) - which was of course a part of Germany and on the other hand had far reaching interests in its multi-ethnic empire, including parts of Italy - created the Protestant preponderance in 1866 and made Germany more "german" by excluding the ethnic minorities (the Czechs, etc.) under Austrian rule all together with Austria as a whole. There was fierce resistance to this, for example in Bavaria and the Rhineland. It was the tremendous economic success of Germany, of the whole project of the prussian-dominated empire, combined with the mass nationalism and imperialism that was rising all over Europe, that created an extremely passionate, maybe "desperate" and aggressive German national feeling, in the sense that Ryan describes it. This led to the First World War. The defeat and the Peace Treaty of Versailles, which was felt to be humiliating, made possible a victim myth that maybe always seems essential to me in order to join a population into a homogenous people (Volk) in the sense of blood and soil (Blut und Boden). Italy in contrary was a winner of the war and was a liberal monarchy right from it's unification while Germany only became one after it's defeat. The once so strong 19th century liberalism in Germany had been decisivly weakend by Prussias conservative dominance so that there was a much better basis for authoritarian politics in Germany. This proofed true during the Weimar Republic which never had strong sympathies among the majority of the people except for maybe the first months after the war and revolution before the Versailles treaty (by which I do not mean that without Versailles the republic may have succeeded).

Not only the Southern Question as it was called, but there was the fact that Italians just didn’t go along with authority well. Their willingness to ignore demands of the government they do evil things, referred to in history as the banality of good, kept Italian Fascism from the depravities of National Socialism. But it was the people not the government that stayed the hands of evil. Fascism was mild until Mussolini became partnered with Hitler and was forced as the junior partner to bend to German will especially in the killing of the Jews. The anti-Jew laws only came to Italy in 1938. Deportation of Jews only under German occupation.

It isn’t an inherent attribute of fascism. The Germans weren’t fascists. The Italians called themselves fascists BUT he was a socialist his entire life and so was his entire family. Almost every single policy aligned with socialism in their ideology. It’s just another left wing ideology. They were National Socialists as opposed to modern day leftists and communists/ Marxists of that time who are GLOBAL SOCIALISTS/ COMMUNISTS. There are so many things wrong with this video that it may as well be disregarded.

I have watched every single video on your channel and just want to say your approach to teaching is refreshing. Often times these kinds of subject are taught in a sort of academic language that can be hard to follow or on the other end of the spectrum without depth or research (and often with some level of contemporary political colorization). I think you strike a perfect balance between these two method and I feel like I have learned a lot from your works. I joined Patreon for the first time just to support your channel, keep up the good work.

This was an extraordinary essay that you put together. You should be a professor of history. ❤ Fascism, as you so eloquently described, is so far away separated from the truth of the human spirit. It has no compassion and empathy; it is grotesquely detached from the essence of humanity, to the extent that it has no sympathies whatsoever for human core values, including the brotherhood of humanity.

This term has been tossed around very loosely in recent years; a detailed and historically accurate explanation of it is very good and it is appreciated. People now, especially on the far "left" of center, like to use this against their "enemies" on the far "right" of center. Whereas the far "right" of center like to leverage the term "communist" to the car "left". It's a horseshoe of labeling and insults that only further widen the division. So thank you for this, and I hope the pro-labelers will use this information as wisdom and not "misinformation".

Great video, just now I got a chance to watch it. And I would assess that your analysis needs to be shared today as things even in USA 🇺🇸 are being so divisive and we could be running 🏃in the wrong direction. I’m on a personal quest to defeat authoritarian propaganda and I wrote two books 📕 and many articles dealing with that topic. Sometimes I feel like I am screaming into a void and that those who want to repeat these dark moments in history keep gaining traction. It’s very disturbing, because all the indicators are already out in the open - except that this time there is a conglomeration of propagandists factors muddying the process. I would love to continue this conversation.

Simply awesome! Well done and kudos!

Your definition of fascism goes a long way toward explaining why Italian fascism never really jelled. The people of Italy did not, at least in that era, think of themselves primarily as Italians. They thought of themselves as Romans, or Venetians, or Sicilians. The idea of Italian nationalism, of thinking with the blood of a single nation, did not come naturally to the majority of Italians. Their concept of blood and of nationality was much smaller in scope.

Ryan you have nailed it yet again with ONE SMALL FLAW. When you use the word "NATION" you are using it like an American as a synonym for "COUNTRY". In the context Mussolini and Europeans of the early 20th century used it it is actually more of a synonym for "NATIONALITY". I refers to "A PEOPLE" who identify as sharing a cultural/linguistic/ethnic heritage. It can expand to encompass the country and government but Italy and Germany had just gone through NATIONALIST struggles for unity the prior century working to unite the Italian and German Nations/People into one Nation-State. The cultural/linguistic/ethnic is what identifies the Nation. That is why Fascism so easily becomes a racist philosophy rather than an economic/class philosophy like Marxism. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR GREAT WORK! 😀

I have to disagree. He completely misunderstands the VERY important differences between the operation of National Socialists versus Fascist regimes AND the justification each system employs for suppressing minority groups. Fascism survived the second world war in Spain and Portugal into the 1970s because Fascism is a corporate statism. Fascism doesn't make territorial claims based on racial imperatives. Fascism doesn't persecute minorities on the basis they are not part of the single race (Ayrians) or group (Proletariat). Fascism persecuted all threats to the state's power including religion per se and literally co-opted capitalist ventures into the nation (cooperativism). The Nazis did effectively control private industry but their reason for doing so was the same reason Marxism did so, to bring about the manifest destiny of the common people. Marx identified the common people as the prolitariat, whereas Hitler identified a particular genetic line as the oppressed and an impurity within it as the oppressor. Oppression dynamics and manifest destiny is integral to socialism. This is precisely how Critical Social Justice theory (CSJ) or Wokism operates. CSJ is socialist, but like National Socialism it is attempting to overthrow the oppressor using the claims of the collectivised minorities against the oppressed majority. Communist Antonio Gramsci invented this Cultural Marxism, and the Frankfurt school's Herbert Marcuse developed it using his "oppressive tolerance" doctrine based on "Critical Theory". The Woke are a new racially justified form of Socialism, just as the Nazis were before them. It is straight Liberationism from the Marxist playbook. Instead of the employee class, it is the immigrant, the sexual minority, the racial minority, that is 'oppressed' by the system set up by white-heteronomative-patriarchy . A new form of Socialism, where the oppressed minorities are pitched against the majority host culture.

@@nataliorivas487 I would say that you're right, but I think that Nazism and Italian Fascism just developed differently due to the nations they developed in. Germany already had large anti-semitic sentiments in many places, so that became a part of the ideology due to the mass political nature of fascism, while in Italy, this was much less so the case. I would agree that they are both fascist states, however not necessarily the same ideologically. I think that a lot of it just has to do with the variability in Fascism in terms of the nation it develops in and the leaders of the Fascists themselves; while fascism does have many defining characteristics, as Ryan put it, they do whatever it takes to "make the nation great," which varies radically depending on who ends up in charge. For Hitler, that meant creating a racially pure society in which only the "Aryan" race would be left. For Mussolini, the racism was much more subdued, and his goal was mostly militaristic expansion and the establishment of a totalitarian empire to restore the glory and honor of Italy. Essentially, Hitler wanted to do the same thing as Mussolini, but with the massive caveat of extremely racist policies. So overall, while I agree that both are fascist states in nature, I think that the racist + genocidal policies of the Nazist Fascism developed more out of Hitler and his close supporters as well as preexisting conditions in Germany.

Very interesting and well explained.

I'm glad to see you looking for clarity in the term fascism. It is very important, however when you're describing the problem of socialist pushing fascism over to liberalism and capitalism and "those that are sympathetic to Capitalism" over to socialism you inadvertently fall into the same problem you're looking to solve for the term fascist. That being the nebulous use of the word capitalist. I notice that since Marx popularized the term Capitalism as a pejorative to really describe British mercantilism or the existing cronyism that each European government was practicing during his writing. However the conservatives use Capitalism in a different way and the Austrian economists yet another and I find the word capitalist to be even more misunderstood and misused then the term fascist. Going back to Adam Smith and working forward the terms to describe the economics of trade and merchants is all over the place. The tree of socialism therefore bears collectivist fruit that show cases various types of central planning which is at the root of all these experiments that came from socialist political philosophy and why every iteration of socialism devolves to authoritarianism and worst case totalitarianism. The central planners cannot be challenged or the entire premise of that nation is undermined.
