Does Nazism and fascism have some similarities?

Answer 1

they believed that the good of the nation was all important<----NovaNet

Answer 2

"Neo" means "New" so Neo would mean "new nazi" I don't know what this pertains to, but this is what it means. its true meaning is a fringe group member who aspires to be one of adolf hilters Nazis. adding on to this answer is that neo-Nazis are more about todays topics, such as illegal immigrants and blacks that are "poisoning" the white community also most neo Nazis either base that the Holocaust did not happen or think it was extremely exaggerated.

Adding to the prior - most neo-Nazi's generally have only a vague idea of what Adolf Hitler's original Nazi movement was about. True Nazi-ism is about racial superiority and prosperity of the German people - that is, it was a movement specific to Germans, not a general philosophy (unlike fascism), and included a whole host of ideas around proper organization of a society. Neo-Nazis have changed this to be about the "purity" of the white race as a whole, and often ignore the religious and other social aspects of Nazi-ism. Neo-Nazis also seem to be lacking any real coherent idea on political organizational design, instead often advocating something little more than anarchy.

Overall, neo-Nazis really can be best described as White Supremacists, which really is more of a racial philosophy, and not a specific political ideology.

Answer 3

The political ideology of fascism can be briefly described as a right-wing Dictatorship. However, when spelled as "Fascism" with a capital F, it refers to the specific regime in 20th century Italy under Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Nazism, which was the predominant ideology in Germany from the 1930s to the 1940s, can be viewed as a more specific type of fascism (with a lower-case f). Not all fascists are Nazis, but it would be all but required to support fascist ideology in order to be a true Nazi. Fascists are not necessarily racist, which is contrary to the anti-Semitic doctrines which are at the core of Nazi ideology. The central theme of Fascism is the state. The state is supreme and everything revolves around the state. The central theme of Nazism is the race. The race is the "master race" and all other races must either serve the "master race" as slaves or must be eliminated from existence. The state under Nazism serves the sole purpose of the advancement of the "master race." Nationalism is one aspect of Fascism. However, nationalism is often used to stress the superiority of the national culture as opposed to other minority cultures. Fascism accepts other groups, provided that the minority groups reject their culture, language, and religion for the superior nationalism. For example, the fascist Christian Socialists advocate the conversion of Jews to Christianity, not the extermination of the Jewish race, as the Nazi German Nationalists did. Fascism wants to exterminate the culture, not the people.

Answer 4

Nazism (Nationalsozialismus, National Socialism; alternatively spelled Naziism[1]) was the ideology and practice of the Nazi Party and of Nazi Germany.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It was a unique variety of fascism that involved biological racism and antisemitism.

Answer 5

A lot...as a matter of fact, there probably aren't two more different political ideologies. Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, in which leaders seek to unify everyone behind the state, sacrificing individual freedoms for the sake of the nation, and putting corporatist effort behind the Imperialism. No democratic freedoms exist under fascist rule, nor any civil liberties. Liberalism is more difficult to define - in the United States, they're generally considered the more left-wing, but in Europe, at least the classical liberalism are closer to libertarians than anything else. But they all have one thing in common, these definitions, in that liberalism is all about freedom. It's central ideology is that individual rights and freedoms are to be protected and observed - there is a reason that 'liberal democracy' is such a widely-used term.
