The Roots of Fascism

Drastically. Unlike communism which predicates its political stances on destroying the native cultures and religions of the nation in order to unify them -

Facism embraces and finds unity though promoting cultural morays and eccentricites; this essentially means that fascism in mexico would be inherently MASSIVELY different than fascism in sweden because the foundation and cultural base around EVERYTHING (marriage, work ethic, religion, language, agricultural development, morality, criminal punishment) would be different depending on where the fascism is currently occurring.

There is a really good book on amazon which shows this ( I cant remember the name) but it is essentially a collection of essays from Franco, Pinochet, Mosley, and Hitler and you can see while the authoritarian collective nationalism is still there; the outward manifestation of fascism in theses different nations is HUGE

I always thought fascism came from french revanchism after the franco-prussian war

Darwinism. Not Darwin himself, but the social movements that rose in reaction to his thought.

partly. Boulanger tried to harness revanchism to take power. He came to be known as general revanche and he was the the central character in a popular tune. In the end he chickened out, but the movement to elect him (which was quite successful) would go on to influence or itself produce thinkers of the french far right such as deroulede and maurras. But to say that italian and german variations of fascism came from revanchism is incomplete at best.

>what else might there be in regards to the roots of Fascism in the 19th century besides the above points in regards to political and philosophical theory?

World War one.

Italian fascism was at it's core groups of alienated young soldiers fighting on the Italian front coming home to an inglorious peace treaty and a hostile rejection by society.

I always blame Wilhelm II.
Literal limp-armed /r9k/ warmonger.

Marxism really isn't a source for fascism. But do as you want, you seem to have made up your mind already.

Read Goldberg's Liberal Fascism. Polemical but scholarly

>Though I'm sure Nietzsche would hate the Nazis

Nietzsche disliked states, but he would have loved Hitler.
