Fascism is a governmental ideology that uses war to support not only the expansions of their society but also to spread their authoritative government. In order to do so, the fascist government leaders went through major strives to create the image of war as being a positive, needed, and in some cases a romantic thing. By doing so the fascists not only caused the people of the society to accept war, but to respect and allow war with little remorse for its often devastating results.

What is Fascism view on humanity?
Facism is a type of totalitarian government meaning the leader, in this case a dictator, believes that the government should have complete control over the people. A facist view on humanity would be no view. A facist country believes that there is no significance in humanity, but they do believe that there is a value in a select number of people controling everything that their people do. For example, if we were in China right now, we wouldn't be posting these questions so freely on the enternet, because they have a censorship over the entire nations enternet use. So, the people in China can't go look a porn video, because their enternet use is watched over very closely.

Why did fascists and Bolsheviks reject capitalism and political democracy?
Bolsheviks believed in Communism, which is considered the opposite of Capitalism. They did not want to practice democracy because they believed that in order for socialism (and eventually communism) to arise in a country, an elite cadre of professional revolutionaries had to take control of a country and force socialism to happen. They could not allow democracy because it could undermine the rise of socialism.
Fascists rejected democracy because they strongly favored an all-powerful central government, "the State", which would unify the country; this is entirely incompatible with democracy. As for capitalism, fascists disapproved of it mainly because they believed its focus on materialism and individualism was not compatible with the Fascists' desire for national unity above all else- they wanted everyone to focus on strengthening their country, not on buying things.
Was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk fascist?
Ataturk borrowed from Fascist Italy, it is plain in his Six Arrows Ideology. He used Corporatism and some elements of fascist structure. However, Ataturk differed in the sense he did not intend to create a permanent dictatorship. He was alleged to have said perhaps in joking:"Government of the people in spite of the people." He would rule as a dictator while he uplifted the culture and education of Turkey and intended the dictatorship to...using a Marxian phrase "to whither away" and evolve into a democratic republic.
He did not want Turkey in the post-Sultanate era to become some kind of conservative religious dictatorship. An ignorant illiterate population tends to put a repressive conservative regime in power. Ataturk wanted to prevent this.
Using the trappings of "fascism" he uplifed the culture and education of Turkey and ended centuries of neglect. He also opposed the direction Italy was taking and knew Mussolini was not going to last long on the world stage.
While perhaps modern Turks or his political heirs the CHP will not admit "fascist" roots, Ataturk's regime was born in an era when fascism was a popular alternative "third way" form of government between capitalism and communism.
In the Turkish sense Ataturk's efforts paid off. In Turkey today the true test of how effective "Kemalism" can face the challenges of this new century remains to be seen. Old traditions are creeping up. Can some of the old adjust to the secular Turkey Ataturk moulded? "To be continued...." as the old serials went.
Miss Jean brodie symbolises fascism in the novel .discuss?
Miss Jean Brodie symbolizes fascism in terms of her relationship with her students, particularly the Brodie group.
Her eloquence, sophistication, and supposedly advanced techniques of teaching are met with disgust and adoration. However, despite her seemingly sophisticated attitude, Miss Brodie has managed to exemplify certain episodes of being a fascist. Since she has started teaching, she has managed to afflict her students (especially the Brodie group) with a certain kind of thinking and attitude - a kind of thinking and attitude which Miss Brodie considers to be for a modern woman during that time. She used her charm and experience to impress other people as she believes fervently that whatever she does or has gone through is meant for people in high society only. But what her students do not realize (except for one at the end part of the story), is that Miss Brodie also uses her charm and experience to make them do or think what she wants them to do or think. This can be seen in the characters of Rose andSandy. She made them think that they have to be like her, even to the extent of being Mr. Lloyd's lover (something that Miss Brodie has failed or as she would call it, chose not to push through).

Lately yes. it is a well kept secret that the president of Colombia was a paramilitary. his vice president controls the media cause he owns it! several independent communists have been executed then transported to the country side and named casualties of the war. militarism and nationalism along with violations of leftist organizations as well as other incidents make me think Colombia is heading towards a fascist state.
There are a number of reasons that fascism is appealing. Fascist movements usually arise in periods of war and/or economic crises. Although there have been many variations of fascism, these are the main components of most fascist political movements:
1. They promise to save the country from its current problems if given sweeping powers for themselves. They warn of apocalyptic disaster that only they can save the country from.
2. They often appeal to sentimentality by promising to restore a glorious past, which almost always highly idealized, if it ever existed at all. The Nazis, for instance, played up the symbolism of ancient Germanic mythology, the Italian fascists evoked the glory of imperial Rome, the Japanese fascists use the medieval imagery of samurais and feudal warriors.
3. They tell the masses that by virtue of belonging to a certain nation, ethnicity, and/or race, that they are superior to others and deserve to have this glorious past restored. They cloak this chauvinism by portraying themselves as patriots.
4. In order to explain why this glorious past has been lost, fascists resort to finding a scapegoat that is the obstacle to the superior group re-attaining this glory. This creates another unity of purpose-hatred towards the enemy group, whether Jews, Communists, liberals, homosexuals, immigrants, Muslims, etc.
5. Usually(but not always), fascist movements have a cult of personality established around a charismatic leader, who is depicted as a savior.
6. All of these elements together create a powerful appeal. Frightened and confused people, their faith in the traditional order shaken by political and economic upheaval, are comforted by the order and direction given to them by fascists. The uniforms, slogans, salutes, rituals, and rallies make ordinary citizens feel empowered by being part of something larger then themselves, much like the power of organized religion.
These are the basic components of why fascism is appealing, even though there are many more details. Hope this helps.

What was the Rise of Fascism and what did Joseph Stalin think about it?
What Stalin thought of fascism: he agreed with fascism. He was a Fascist. The Rise of Fascism: In 1919, in the midst of these unsettled conditions, Benito Mussolini, a former revolutionary socialist, founded a new movement called "Fascismo". Through a combination of shrewd political maneuvering and widespread violence perpetrated by Mussolini's Black Shirt squads, the Fascists gained increasing support. In October 1922, after the Fascists had marched on Rome, King Victor Emmanuel III named Mussolini prime minister. Within four years, Mussolini had become a dictator, destroying civil liberties, outlawing all other political parties, and imposing a totalitarian regime on the country by means of terror and constitutional subversion. Public works projects, propaganda, militarism, and the appearance of order gained Mussolini considerable prestige, and the Lateran Treaty with the papacy in 1929 gave the "duce" (as he was called) a wide measure of popularity.
