Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

It was sold in the gift shop, not on display. I know it’s not an enormous difference, but let’s try our best to keep the misinformation just on their side.

I dont think sexism fits, racism/race supremacy does. Emphasis on corporations also don't fit, wouldnt government taking control of them fit more?

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago

Sounds like it's the holocaust museum folks you need to argue with about that.

[–] Malgas 5 points 2 months ago

Umberto Eco, who grew up in fascist Italy and has written extensively on the characteristics of fascism, disagrees with you about the sexism.

You mistook Fascism for Nazism. Especially flag is a Nazi symbol

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And you know what that bundle of sticks is called in Latin? Fascis. That's where the name comes from.

Also, nationalsocialism is just one of plenty forms of fascism. It's an umbrella term. And arguing that a poster warns of the wrong sect of genocidal nationalist dictatorship, is just absolutely beyond any kind brain rot.

Yes, what about it?

National Socialism was in Germany, perpetrated by Hitler, Fascism was in Italy, perpetrated by Mussolini. Every semi decent historian will tell you that

Every historian better than half decent will also tell you that those two systems of government were closely related (totalitarian political violence).

[–] BlackLaZoR@kbin.run 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

True, but also they had significant differences - one was that German Nazis were fixated around race, while Italian Fascists weren't.

Second difference is that Italian Fascizm murdered much less people.

You just can't ignore that

Tell me you don't understand the term "umbrella term" means, without telling me you don't understand

[–] BlackLaZoR@kbin.run 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not aware of any mid 1930s National Socialists calling themselves Fascists, nor Italian Fascists calling themselves National Socialists.

The "umbrealla term" seems to be invented later for... well why exactly?

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

For right-wing nationalistic authocracities. How parties label themselves often contradicts with what they stand for

[–] seSvxR3ull7LHaEZFIjM@feddit.de 5 points 2 months ago

Depends on what your historical question is. In most cases, this difference of degree wouldn't matter.

[–] Killing_Spark@feddit.de 7 points 2 months ago

One Thing I've learned is not to trust semi decent historians. They tend to oversimplify things a lot

[–] halvar@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, fascism has no religion and government intertwining and corporate power is not protected under fascism, because fascists want everything under government control, which includes corporations as well. Most of the points are correct, but I feel this is a bit biased and overall trying to project current issues through nazism; both are bad, but I think it's very important to make the distinction. Know your enemy.

[–] Firefly7@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

Most fascist dictatorships have had large privatizations and all have favored corporations in economic policy. You act like business-state collaboration under fascism was unique to the nazis, but it was also central to fascist Italy, Francoist Spain, and right-wing dictatorships like those of Pinochet or the military in Brazil.

Fascism happens when capitalism is in crisis because it’s better for the corporations than socialism would be. Both Italy and Germany had strong socialist movements in the years before fascists came to power, and fascists are consistently funded by a business community that fears losing everything it has. The fascist emphasis on the state, nationalism, and war, is only because it’s required to suppress organized labor.
