Fascism vs Nazism
法西斯主义和纳粹主义是两种类型的意识形态t show considerable differences between them. It can be said that Nazism is a form of Fascism. They are both considered being the opponents ofliberalismandcommunism or socialism we saw in Russia. As a matter of fact, both Nazism and Fascism originated in the 20th century, influenced bynationalism。You have to understand that though Fascism and Nazism are known as interrelated it does not mean that all Fascists were Nazis as there are ideological differences between them. They both came into being from the Europe, and they both were found after theWorld War 1。
What is Fascism?
Fascism is a government led by a dictator who controls every aspect of the society putting the wealthy minority on top. Fascism is based on nationalistic feeling. The period of Fascism can be determined as 1919 – 45. The fascists of Italy under Mussolini were originally referred by the term Fascism. The state was the central aspect according to Fascism. Moreover, Fascism does not believe in the significance to be given to Aryanism as Fascism does not pay importance toracism。换句话说,Aryan race is not given much importance by Fascism as the superior race.
Etymologically, it is interesting to note that the word Fascism is derived from the Italian word fascio meaning a collection in the form of a bundle. This only shows that fascism believes in the strength that can arise out of unity. So, Fascism believes in strength that can be brought about by standing together.
Fascism advocates of a state where everyone is together. So, if there are people who do not go with the main population, they were given the chance to convert into one of the main population. For example, without killing Jews, the Fascism ordered the Jews to convert. They did not kill Jews until Germany came to Italy during World War 2.

What is Nazism?
Nazism is also a political system that rose out of nationalistic feeling where a dictator along with his supporters ruled the country as he wished. However, Nazism was anti-semitic. This was the distinguishing factor of Nazism from Fascism. The period of Nazism can be determined as 1933 – 45. On the other hand, Nazism was also referred to as National Socialism. The Nazi Party has its ideology represented by the word Nazism. The word Nazi came into being using the first two syllables of the German pronunciation of ‘national.’
Moreover, while the state was the central aspect according to Fascism, Nazism gave a lot of importance to therace。This is a significant difference between the two ideologies. Aryanism developed a strong significance in the view of Nazism because the Aryan race or the Germanic race was considered the supreme race by the Nazis.
Nazism does not believe in the concept of strength in unity. Racial hatred is the basic tenet of Nazism. As Aryan race is given the primary importance by Nazism, all other races were not tolerated. That is why Nazism ended up killing all theJewswho were important inhabitants of Germany at the time.

Major difference is in political orientation. Fascism is right wing political ideology while Nazism is left like any other socialism, eg. Soviet socialism (incorrectly called communism). Calling Hitler fascist is actually Stalin’s trick avoiding need to explain to Soviet people how two socialist (totalitarian) regimes are in deadly war. Nazi and fascists were allies out of necessity scoring each other. Nazis and Soviets fight to kill each other (despite being like brothers) also out of necessity – two cocks can’t be on one dunghill.
X, m.p.
I think that there are several major difference between Fascism and Nazism. Race is the most obvious. Racism and anti-Semitism were completely absent from Fascist ideology, whereas they were central to Nazism. Also, the Fascists did have a particular economic philosophy that while not egalitarian, certainly sought to increase prosperity and living standards to all members of society through Government programs and direct intervention into the economy. Interestingly, the theories of Fascist economic policy and organisation closely paralleled the programs of FDRs “New Deal”.
I’m not suggesting that one directly influenced the other, although its interesting to note that Franklin and Elenore Roosevelt both enthusiastically received the 1933 movie “Gabriel Over the White House” that seemed to praise an American style Fascism – replete with with social programs such as Housing and Trade Union rights, martial law, militarised police and state control over the economy, as the solution to the USA’s – and eventually – the worlds problems!
When Mussolini invaded Ethiopia, he abolished slavery and – while opening up some areas of the land to Italian colonists – did introduce widespread health, economic and educational programs (including Universities) to the general population……something that would have appalled Hitler!
Fascist Italy – especially under the essentially Nazi Puppet state of the post 1943 RSI, did pass oppressive race laws that hadn’t existed before the war. However, while rightly condemning these, We should also remember the treatment of the Japanese in the USA after Pearl Harbour, not to mention the widespread racism against black people at the same time, Also, we should mention the persecution and near genocide of the Manchu peoples in China by both Chiang Kai Shek’s KMT and Mao’s Communists, not Stalin’s treatment of the USSR’s Tartar ethnic minorities under Stalin………Hitler’s genocidal policies should have brought into sharp relief the hypocrisies of the world, including all the major allied powers of the time. Anything Mussolini did in the race relations field was not actually that exceptional in this regard.
Whereas I’ve found it very difficult to find a clear definition of fascism that can clearly be defined, I think it’s important to consider the ends of these 2 leaders. Mussolini was beaten to a pulp and hated by the people having his body drug through the streets. Hitler was loved by the people all the way through till the defeat of the Third Reich. I’ve never heard anyone that was in Hitler’s inner circle speak of him as an evil dictator. What he did with the German economy was absolutely a powerful move and one that is egregiously never spoken of. Why? Because it was the magic weapon against the banking system owned and controlled by the jews. The 1917 Russian Revolution was not a Russian people’s uprising against the government it was the second uprising of the Jewish population against the Russian political establishment because Russia banned them from living in Moscow or holding any political or banking powers. Germany was the next target of this Marxist invasion force. Under the Weiner Republic that was the chosen government after the treaty of Versailles life became pure hell for germans. It was the jews who had taken over Germany in a major act of betrayal to the country in which they were refugees who ran the show. While Germany’s economy had been designated by heinous sanctions to pay for all the damages that resulted from ww1, a war they didn’t start, and Belgium degenerated into the sexual cesspool of prevention and degradation capital of the world, men pimped out their mothers, wives, daughters, young sons, and even animals just to buy rotting scraps of food the Jewish class flaunted every luxury imaginable and laughed as they paid the German pimps pennies for their sexual depravities of their families and reveled in the demoralization of the germans shame. When Hitler was elected to power he made usury and debt interest illegal. He created an economy in which the security of the mark was not backed by gold but by the peoples labor and quality of workmanship. He got rid of the Jewish central bank and gave hope to the German people that turned a rancid degenerate economy of miserable conditions and showed the world that the greatest asset a nation had was its own people. He rightfully identified socialism not as a people’s uprising for equality but as a violent Jewish movement aimed at destroying Europe for domination of the world by the jews. I’ve never heard a ww2 german soldier say they were warring against the Jewish people, they all insist they were guarding Europe against the communist takeover. I could go on for a long while but I won’t. Hitler Germany and the German people as his top priority and advocated that all nations should value above all else their people. Not an Aryan overlord race that would subjugate any none white race into forced serfdom. A nations greatest asset was it’s people so take pride in your identity. He was a major proponent behind populating Israel as a Jewish state setting up a system where jews could turn over their assets to Germany get a ticket to the newly formed Jewish state and upon arrival receive the full value of these assets, loosing no value in wealth once in Israel. Their were Jewish SS soldiers who if they could prove 3 generations born in Germany we’re allowed to remain as ethinic germans and keep their religious preference. Churchill stated in his last biography that the allies had slaughtered the wrong pig. General paton was murdered for seeing communism as the greatest threat to the west. Eisenhower as general starved to death 2 million German refugees under his care, overwhelmingly seniors, women and children whomever be pared a weapon during the war. This difference between page is a perfect example of Hollywood historian propaganda and frankly a disgrace to the pursuit of truth
