I wish the article had some more historical treatment of fascism. It starts with nazi germany and WWII, but fascism started earlier in Germany, going back at least as far as the "Pan-German League" (1891-1939), who essentially laid the ideological foundation on which almost all modern rightists build their theories.
EDIT: Make my point clearer.
- jljljl 10y agoI think the author was less interested in describing the ideology from a historical perspective, and more interested in pointing out warning signs that could signal an ideological movement is trending towards fascism. His point is that a future rise of fascism might not look like the path from the Pan-German League to the Nazis, but it will have some ideological hallmarks that we can detect.
- dhconnelly 10y agoRight. This is comparative rather than historical - looking at a few fascist movements in recent times and distilling a common core.
