A Question (or two) for Fascists...

[orange]

ok, so we had one directed at Floyd and co., now one for Speer

Your ideal fascist state exists, and they take away everything...drugs, foreign alcohol (domestic booze like budweiser and coors stay, you know, to eliminate monopolies) and girls aren't allowed to talk to or see boys until their 28th birthday. Slacks and polos are standard 'casual' dress for boys, and living in suburbs is outlawed.

All this exists, your dream world Speer, but one more thing. All rap music, which is seen as a cause of gang related and other violence is banned! Listening to rap music or making rap music is a capital offense. Do you want to live there?

Damn, that's fascist? Where do I sign up?

errm, that's not fascist. "Starship troopers" is more like it. This is just conservative. (yes, I know that "starship troopers" world is not exactly conservative, but that's the point. Fascism is not nessessarily conservative, but it could be progressing in the wrong direction as well. )

We're not allowed to see girls? I'm so unhappy

[Arrian]

You would just "disappear" RJ.

Fascism is perhaps the most evil and immoral form of government... and Speer just wants to tell people what to do, he's not even worth making a thread for.

Your description fits Boddies to a tee, Orange...

To an extent all conservatives do - not wanting to give equal rights to homosexuals is a clear signal that they don't want them doing that - as with marijuana.

Facsism is just a FAR more extreme version - fascists usually don't fit into society (angry, loner types) and so want everyone to behave in a way they want. Conservatives hold their views mainly because they don't want their children exposed to certain parts of society, or a religious belief.

[Sava]

Agreed, RJ... although getting them to admit it is a bit harder than pointing it out

not always. *wears flame-proof jacket*

[Sava]

yeah, this corporate republic that governs the US is pretty evil, but in different ways

IMHO Fascism is conservativism taken to it's greatest extreame... I would argue any government that enforces laws is fascist, it's just a question of the degree of fasicism.
Thats why I'm an anarchist

Fascim isn't just about baning rap-songs (in fact, that may have nothing to do with it at all) and stopping kids from having sex: this is a comon and utterly incorrect vision of fascism.

Fascism is about the primacy of the Nation and its culture to the develpment of Man and society, at the least. But Fascist political theoprist were never able to create a fully working model of Fascism.

[Jon Miller]

the problem with facsism is that it is easily abused
