Fascism and National Socialism

Political theorists, historians and and scholars have long tried interpreting and defining fascism but the definitions have either been too narrow or too wide as each interpretation of fascism is distinct and based on the ideological and political leanings and thoughts of the scholar or the theorist. According to Roger Griffin, fascism is "a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra nationalism". He goes on to say that the fascist ideology has three core components- the myth of rebirth, decadence and populist ultranationalism. Paxton in his book, The ...

The Marshall Plan, which enabled West Germany to resurrect its status as an industrialized economy, became the cornerstone of US involvement in the nation and eventually throughout the rest ...

Italy is one of the most important destinations of tourism. The country holds some of the most prized architecture and art in the world, from antiquity to the baroque to the modern, often packed into the dense historic centers of the peninsula’s cities. The successive waves of industrialization, the heady years of Fascist dictatorship sandwiched between two devastating world wars, the corporation of agriculture, secularization and globalization deeply marked the built landscape of Italy .

In the beginning of the century, capitalist society suffered a number of global crises. The First World War was not the beginning of the crisis. It was a way to resolve it, the consequence that revealed all social contradictions that existed for a long time and were aggravated from year to year. As those contradictions flared up, millions became "infected" with revolutionary ideas. Art, as a form of social consciousness, could not stay out of this process. Not surprisingly that futurism and fascism in Italy became two different manifestations of the same, complex and contradictory phenomena of life. In Italy, the Fascist Party ...

Orwell’s essay ‘England Your England’ written in 1941 is typical of the confusion that is felt by individuals and the whole of the country in uncertain political times. George Orwell attempts to set some kind of direction for the country amongst all the confusion of war. England was being bombed by the Germans in WWII at the time. This paper will argue that the central thesis of the essay was that English patriotism and loyalty exists in different forms depending on class in normal circumstances.

In the realm of contemporary popular art, few media may claim such relevance and understanding of mass culture than the cinema. From political discourses in films such as Argo (Affleck, 2012) and The Hurt Locker (Bigelow, 2009), to philosophical inquiry in films such as Her (Jonze, 2013) and Children of Men (Cuaron, 2007), the filmic medium has never failed to be an avenue for human questions that deal with the most intimate nature of our species. In this regard, James McTeigue’s 2006 film V for Vendetta – as well as the graphic novel of the same name that it ...

Abstract

Otto von Bismarck in the nineteenth century formed the only German state that three quarters of a century later, has been killed by his own unbridled audacity (Rose, 2013). Bismarck as the founder of the Reich announced that created new Germany is satisfied in its aspirations. But the successors of the first chancellor, and especially Kaiser Wilhelm II considered the Bismarck’s opinion modest and unworthy of a nation that costs more. Dissatisfied ambitions were the cause of both world wars, and that had brought to the German people nothing but misery and suffering. In 1945, the Germans were again forced ...

England and France chose appeasement as their first approach when dealing with Hitler and Nazi Germany during the 1930s. British Prime Minister ...

Research has managed to establish some form of relationship between mass murder in Germany and sexual morality.

There is much debate as to which role sexuality and sexual immorality played in the period characterized by the world war. Through such discussion, one gets a proper insight as to the relationship that ...

Fascism and communism are two ideologies that presented the idea of reaching utopia.

Lastly, communism and fascism are one in their goal of recruiting members that will compose and work with them in achieving their vision of the new utopia. Fascism had its seed firmly planted ...

The historical destiny of the Jews is such that this folk have experienced constant persecution under various occupying or oppressive regimes that would deny them their right to enjoy human rights, national mentality and religion on a historically possessed or foreign territory, with the Jews assimilating into indigenous population, by virtue of by use of brute force or imposed legislation. Starting with the ancient Romans, who evicted Jews from Jerusalem by spreading them all over the world, obliterated any recorded memory from the annals of history, and severely persecuted the remaining minorities, the folk had not had at least a spell ...

Such ideas have since been adopted into said societies with some being the views of individuals and others originating from thoughts of governance and societal correlation. The Doctrine of Fascism and the English Bills of Rights are both ideas and regulations regarding communities but originating from very different sources. This is so in the sense that, while the Doctrine of Fascism originated from the ideas of one person, the Bill of Rights passed through Congress before its ...

Theorists have put down arguments on the evolution of Europe. The discourse has often been that absent leaders that characterized the European political landscape, Europe would not have prospered as it has. In addition, it has been argued that communism and fascism indeed played a pivotal role towards the evolution of the modern states in Europe. It is imperative to appreciate that modern Europe remains purely capitalist with a few nations keen to introduce welfare systems intended to contain the harsh vagaries of capitalism. However, it is should be noted that the current practice is far from what Europe could have ...

While a government must exhibit most or ...

The countries that were defeated in the World War I, and especially Germany, had additional reasons for the rise of fascism. One of them was a sense of humiliation experienced by the nation due to payment of reparations to victorious countries for the damage caused, which in official propaganda and in everyday life was regarded as the greatest shame of the German nation, which could be cleaned only by a new blood. Fascist leaders successfully used this moment and deliberately fueled the revanchist sentiment. In Germany, which suffered from the crisis stronger than other countries, intensified the revolutionary movement. As a result, ...

Nazism and Fascism were forms of racial and political ideologies, which trace their foundation to the 20th century and were reinforced by Adolf Hitler of Germany and Benito Mussolini of Italy respectively. National Socialism or Nazism was a racial philosophy practiced by the Nazi Party of Germany around 1933 to 1945. Nazism was pegged upon the principle that the German Aryan community was biologically and superior to all other races in the world (Vasey, 2006). In addition, the Nazi philosophy strongly believed in a pyramid format leadership structure with Adolf Hitler-The Fuhrer, as the ultimate head whose word was final. ...

Benito Mussolini of Italy and Adolf Hitler of Germany were two leaders of the world who initiated and established an air of totalitarianism in their respective countries.

Both Mussolini and Hitler took part in WWI as corporals from their respective homelands and later on when the war ended, established their own national parties. The government in Italy and Germany could not stand against the postwar consequences which brought unemployment, poverty, political instability. These factors led the ...

Throughout history, most societies that created myths and legends about women regarded them as a distinctly weaker and inferior caste of beings, whose main role was that of wife and mother. Women who passively accepted their inferior status and did not aspire to economic and educational equality with men were glorified, particularly in myths about the Mother and the Virgin. Those who failed to limit themselves to the confines of these myths and stereotypes were demonized, or even literally condemned as witches. Nazi Germany and the other fascist states were the most extreme cases of all, with their totalitarian myths ...

The end of the First World War led to the collapse of four empires, shaped the political map of the world, created a new system of international relations, and claimed about 10 million lives. But the true consequences of the war were noted by Marshal Foch: "This is not peace. It is an armistice for twenty years".

At the beginning of XX century, the German economy continued to grow rapidly. By 1910, ...

Introduction:

Film making in Italy is an intriguing subject since it has brought about change and progress in a country which was otherwise extremely backward. The rise of fascism in the pre-war decades saw a different type of cinema school emerge and some great propaganda films were produced, mostly those which glorified Mussolini and the fascist dictatorship. However Italy was actually one of the first film making countries to start an avant garde movement which flourished during the years of the First World War. Unfortunately several films from this period have been lost although there has been a substantial critical reception for films ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Despite the fact that the open expression of racism is liable to prosecution in most of the countries, it is difficult to admit that there is sufficient protection from its manifestations. This paper considers the problem of racism and policing from the sociological perspective, defining its main reasons and the current state of affairs in the area. It is necessary to conduct such analysis, as today, although the racist theories were proven to be unscientific, racism and nationalism still continue to exist in the modern society. Although the focus of this paper is on sociology, to understand the ...

Russia, even before 1914, was in the clutches of a corrupted autocracy ruled by a weak Tsar, which was being boycotted and criticized by a growing group of revolutionaries and hostility among poor peasants and urban works. These pre-war conditions got triggered and aggravated in and during the war, leaving several scars. The patriotic nationalistic Pan Slavism feeling that heralded the war in 1914 was soon replaced by fast eroding support for the aristocracy. The provisional government by Duma politicians led Russia through the war, but was gradually overtaken by the radical socialist Lenin, who led the Bolshevik Revolution based on Marxist ...

Introduction The Spanish Civil War is among the most significant domestic conflicts in history that has gained notorious international attention due to its wide-ranging implications. International involvement has become a defining feature of the importance of the war, although more importantly, the war has exposed the political division in Spain at that time – between the Republicans and the victorious Nationalists. This study will seek to inquire more on the essential details of the war, particularly on its historical antecedents and international involvement.

Most people would not take notice of an old man resting on a bridge, especially during wartime when a battle is expected any moment. But the soldier in Hemingway’s short story “Old Man at the Bridge” does notice the old man and listen to what the man has to say. The short story was published in 1938 but the idea and the notes for the story were made by Hemingway in Spain earlier in the 1930s. General Franco, a fascist, had decided to overthrow the government and went to war against the people of Spain so he could take power as a ...

Finding common ground on questions like euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) will never be possible, given the strong religious convictions that many Christians, Jews and Muslims have always had against any form of self-destruction. For them, suicide is a sin and killing is always wrong, except of course in wartime situations or when the state has to use force in policing and maintaining order. Their views are based on the Bible or other sacred writings as well as strongly-held religious traditions and convictions, and therefore are not going to change quickly or easily. According to the U.S. Supreme Court, assisted ...

Abstract:

Communism has been a sworn enemy to many fascist regimes, especially Hitler's, Mussolini's and Franco's despite many arguing that they are somewhat related to each other. From the word "communisme", communism advocates for equal class structure and control over the problem of poverty. Meanwhile, fascism came from the word "fascio" and advocates the creation of a nation that runs similar to a corporate setup. However, their belief regarding the state eliminates all form of similarity: communism denies the state while fascism bows to the state as its supreme entity. There is also the case of their political spectrum as fascism incorporates both ...

In line with this, missionaries and explorers from Italy had also a built interest in settling in Australia, even before the ...

In his book, Fascism, Richard Griffiths discusses how this word is an over-used term in its modern sense, specifically discussing how it relates to the ideas of: “authoritarianism, to ‘control freakery’” and how it can also “imply violence, extremism or racism; or the term can be applied to the political Right in general.” Griffiths adds that these and a “wide range of other attributes, however, made up ‘fascism’.” (Griffiths 1) Following World War One, the rise of fascism intensified in Germany, specifically, due to their nationalistic pride. When Hitler rose to be chairman of the Nazi party in 1921, Germany ...
