    Fascism believes in uniting a civilization through nationalism, authoritarian politics, and corporatism socialism.

    Fascism too. Unfortunately, we had racists law and Mussolini sent a lot of jews in concentration camps. A famous band called "Trio Lescano" lost entirely their popularity when it was spread the news that all the three singers were jews. Moreover, we "conquered" some african countries and our troops made ugly things to native people. Songs like "Faccetta nera" (black face, referred to abyssian women) were written during the East African's campaign.

    Unfortunately, facism was as racist as nazism.

    I examine the two words on the basis of definition, not practice.

    Belief or animosity toward people of other races, or the belief in the superiority of one race over another.
    Fascism of itself is nationalistic in its' superior dimension and a member of any race may participate in that nationalistic fervor.

    Race in the term racism, is the only context. There is another word race that represents a contest of speed.

    So you want every nation on earth to look like and act like every other nation, because there's only one humanity?

    Saying that races don't exist doesn't mean that every human looks the same.

    It's easier to come up with superficial reasons, such as race, color, or religion, than it is to actually get to know someone. There have been idiots in every race, color, or creed. Here is a good quote for this thread,
    Benito Mussolini "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."
    The State and corporate entities depend on each. Such as military and defense contractors, or the private banks that furnish capital and monetary bill for countries, and other examples then the separateness or duality is merely an illusion. You know what fascism is. We all have a familiarity with it.

    Believe it or not, only some racism comes from the appearance of a type of human. That is the idiotic kind.

    However, then there's something I call culturalism. For example: Black man in a suit with a briefcase is a successful Black man. Black man in saggy pants and a wife beater is the N word.

    It just so happens that certain cultures stick with certain races more than others. I have nothing against Africans, but I DO have something against the culture that just so happens to attract a lot of Africans, you catch me? Anyway, my point is that there's a difference between idiotic racism and rational culturalism, because cultures CAN be harmful.

    although the culturalism you speak of is not racism at all. it is cuturalism. the word captures its own meaning completely separate of racism. the two are not super-imposable to suggest they are is racism in itself.

    Correct. Unfortunately, many people today, particularly those that blindly follow left-wing policy, consider culturalism to be racism. That was something I attempted to highlight, but apparently didn't make clear.

    The NAtionalsoZIalistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or the NAZI partie
    was not racist to start. And obfuscated over its racism to enable the garnishing of 1/3 of german peoples through terror. While not making them collaborate in a pogrom. The horror of Nazism was its clever planing.
    It weened people to accept strange things happening and NEVER to ask questions or be 'removed'.
    The same is happening here in our society

    Goes to show..
    as Einstein said.
    "There are two infinite things . the universe and human stupidity. and im not to sure about the universe"
    And the stupid are not the doers but the sheep who cower

    what we now have around the world is the purest form of fascism
