In modern political discourse is fascism with too little rigor, combining the concept in an absurd maremagnum others as disparate as "extreme right", "capitalism", "xenophobia" or "racism." This only succeeds in creating confusion about fascism and distort our view of certain problems and to make a proper diagnosis is necessary to clarify these concepts:
- Fascism is not the extreme right . In reality, fascism tends to the left as it is a party system from a planned economy or the nationalization of key economic sectors such as banking, while it recognizes the right to private property, social classes and certain bourgeois values \u200b\u200b(patriotism or religion). Collect, therefore, components of both capitalism and authoritarian socialism, so can not say you are on either extreme of the political spectrum. Would rather be the center of it, then capitalism liberal standing at one end and the other socialist systems.
- Fascism is not an absolute evil . Despite the efforts in this regard by the propaganda of war (which still exists), the fact is that fascism does not necessarily imply any genocide itself, and this is a unique feature of fascism. For example, the Allies also committed war crimes and genocide (the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, without going further), and countries like the United States also adopted racist policies against its black population, without thereby officially considered capitalism as a criminal in itself.
- Fascism died after the second world war . The prestige of such a system led to only be supported since by a small minority, strongly rejected by the whole society by violent and radical. The only European exception to this rule is Spain, where fascism continued (with several short-term and cosmetic reforms) for 40 years, and was later transformed by way of covenant and in a pseudo-reform in which many institutions continue cutting fascist or fascism introduced by the English, like the monarchy, the courts and special laws or the political role of the military.
- Fascism is not booming now . It is true that in several European countries including France, Austria and Switzerland is being a large electoral support fascist parties of origin, which has more to do with a xenophobic tendency that fascism itself. The proof is that these parties tend to moderate over the discus at election time, and this for an obvious reason: a fully fascist discourse would only score a spectacular bleeding, because society would not accept today the disappearance of democratic forms . The European problem now is more of a growing xenophobia, mainly due to the immigration problem.
- Xenophobia not mean fascism. Xenophobia has been at all times and places in the world, is a feature as human as selfishness, and usually arises when there are cultural clashes, domestic, immigration, etc. The present moment is characterized by a growing influx of immigrants heading from Third World poverty to the prosperous first world, and in a context of globalized economy, is the ideal breeding ground for the emergence of all kinds of xenophobic tensions have nothing to do with fascism, which is only xenophobic nationalist dimension.
- Xenophobia has nothing to do with racism . Racism is a political or social doctrine that ranks human races, but does not necessarily imply a rejection of foreigners. The xenophobia, by contrast, is a mere feeling of rejection of foreign without it having anything to do with political or racial concepts.
- "Fascism" is not synonymous with "racism" . Racism existed before fascism and later, and by parliamentary capitalist countries like the U.S. and South Africa. Moreover, not all are racist fascist regimes.
- The word "fascist" is used today mostly as a simple insult . Indeed, the epithet "fascist" today rarely has to do with the political system of the same name, but used rather to offend the opposing reference and a particular attitude of the authoritarian or undemocratic. But although fascism is authoritarian and undemocratic by definition, not all authoritarian or undemocratic attitude necessarily have anything to do with fascism.
summary: fascism died after the second world war, and any current attempt by the left to fight it not only useless but also counterproductive, because it distracts us from where is the real enemy, not is other than capitalism. They are the modern features that are creating this chaos that gives rise to migratory current rise in xenophobia in Europe, and certain absolutely fascist minority factions will try to exploit in vain. Focusing too much attention on those sectors which are given only get more important than they really are, causing a propaganda effect completely free and that they appreciate.
