Are there any texts on Fascism or Authoritarianism that isn't western or communist? Like African or something? It's fun to see how geography affects political thought
Most Africans were communist, roughly 99% of them. You won't find much there. The other third worlders, they never wrote anything that much. Maybe yukio mishima but you as a woman might find it overtly misogynistic and borderline homosexual.
Here's the tl;dr:
Communism:
What is it: "Equality above all".
How does it work: "Give all the power to representatives of the people who will govern without corruption".
What does a follower believe: "I must give it my all every day for the prosperity of my society".
Communism in general is illdefined since every group makes a change to fit it to their goal. Be it who are the representative or whether it should expand or not. That's how "not true communism" is a meme.
Fascism:
What is it: "Nation above all".
How does it work: "Reduce dependency on outside forces, the citizens of a country should only be loyal to it".
What does a follower believe: "I must give it my all every day for the prosperity of my country".
Fascism is just a blob of terms that nobody makes a single definition of. Everyone agrees that loyalty to the country is mandatory, but how it actually comes in practice or how it functions was never codified and changed to suit the rulers goals.
Nazism:
What is it: "Race above all".
How does it work: "Every race has its hierarchical position and according to it their rights".
What does a follower believe: "I must give it my all every day for the prosperity of the master race".
Imagine communism only what is considered human is liable to change according to who's on top. If you are the master race you have your utopia, anything else then you are either a slave or something to be disposed of.
There are contradictory aspects to your definition. You're trying to ascribe these three to the liberty equality fraternity triangle. That's not going to work since national socialism is basically race communism and fascism is state authoritarianism, they're combination of two or more aspects operating within different scopes. National socialism in fact can operate without authortarianism or fascist tendencies provided the population consents to it and has autonomy within state boundaries (examples being china and Israel, I'm sorry
). People just generally like to grossly oversimplify revolutionary ideologies like fascism communism Nazism without understanding the combinatory and complex nature of them.
Serious question why did Evola talked so positively about brown cultures (Indians, Natives)
Aryan involvement in the Indian subcontinent which has a lot of overlap with western aryans and their culture. The Hindu religion is based on the foundation of Aryan and proto Aryan paganism like the Greek pantheon and it's a culture which emphasized self empowerment, spiritual salvation, cosmic balance etc which appeals to people like evola, the pagan spiritual types, Thule society kind of people (self empowerment and societal balance being integrated into religion and culture).
@Migraine Box Evola does not come under fascism, he comes under nazism. He describes spiritual aspects of nazism, not the politics of it, stuff like spiritual aryanism, sexual dynamics between sexes. It has nothing to do with fascism and it does not describe the mechanics of how Nazism operates (Why race communism, who controls the state, Labour division, laws and regulations etc).
