When founded during World War I, fascism accused a country – originally Italy and then Germany – of being in decline because the population was too diverse and needed to be of one mind for real change to succeed. Strategically, fascism needed:
1) a structure to promote the fascist narrative;
2) a one-sided narrative so the opposition had to be silenced;
3) the fundamentals of the country needed to be attacked: first family and religion; and second the existing rule of law;
4) destruction of the existing economic structure;
5) indoctrination of the public to achieve an accepting, like-minded, homogeneous community;
6) implementation of a totalitarian government where the public would be dependent on the state for virtually everything; and
7) protection of the environment.
Fascism was based on right-wing principles, but its platform was based on left-wing organizational tactics. While it opposed communism, socialism and capitalism, it finally embraced socialism as its preferred economic model: National Socialism of 1914.
Principles are one thing but unless they are delivered to the people within an effective structure, they won’t go very far. On the other hand, if a strong structure is in place, principles can be delivered quite effectively. Fascists would not have succeeded unless they had had broad support or at least public acquiescence to the narrative.
Based on the above fascist strategy, the following quiz is designed to help you determine who the fascists in America are today. To make is simple, President Trump or Democrats.
