  • Fascism is more of an approach than a specific ideology. Its only core value is Strength Through Unity - but to achieve that it needs some populist values to unite the people over - which is how you get different flavors of fascism. The original Fascist Party was using nationalism. Racism is also a popular choice (fascism + racism = Nazism), and it seems like rightist values are more prune to it - but leftist values are not safe either, like we have seen in the USSR which based its fascism around socialism.

    Conservatism can be a base for fascism, but like all these other values - it doesn’t have to be fascist. The rule is simple:

    • If you want The Gays™ to just stop - that’s regular conservatism.
    • If you want a strong leader to “stop” The Gays™ - that’s fascist conservatism.
