Fascism And The Truths Of Fascism

As a general belief, people automatically assume that fascism is outright cruel and unreasonable, just because some guy with a toothbrush mustache had a knack for killing Jews. This statement may seem ignorant of the lives lost and the actual brutality of the Third Reich, in reality, that case was only a dark stain on the name of fascism. To truly understand fascism and the truths that it holds, one must look past the executed and the executioners into the causes and effects of fascism in Germany and in any potentially fascist nation.

A fascist country catered to provide for both citizens and the government; stability, prosperity and self-sufficiency are only a few of the fundamental values in a fascist society.
