>Fascists view World War I as having made liberal democracy obsolete, and regard total mobilization of society under a totalitarian single-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.
Reality is more complicated, but the results are similar.
>Such a state is led by a strong leader — such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party — to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society.
It's already halfway there.
>Fascism rejects assertions of violence automatically being negative in nature and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation.

>Fascists advocate a mixed economy, with the principal goal of achieving autarky through protectionist and interventionist economic policies.
Check
It already fulfills 2 of the 4 prerequisites with a "liberal democrat" in power.

I want to learn more about history, but I don't have time in my class schedule to take history classes. What are some essential books to better understand history?
I read this for a political development class and thought it was really good. I've also read David Landes's The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. I want to learn more about Middle Eastern, Russian, and Byzantine history.
Pic related, it's the book

>What are some essential books to better understand history?
Get four or five historiography texts aimed at masters students.
Two books I can Reccomend
Animal Farm: It's basically a story that represents Stalins Russia and communism, but on a farm with pigs and the such. It may sound stupid but it's an amazing book (this one will probably come up a bit on this thread since most people have had to read it 1-3 times in school)
Man in the high castle: This one is alternate history of the Nazis conquering America in WWII. There's a lot of different characters and plot points but it mainly focuses on the division of America between Japan and Germany and a different world. It may not be ideal since its alternate but it gives you a lot of information and education of the Nazis as a whole
>>405934
Read memoirs and other primary texts written by people in your times and places of interest. No amount of interpretation and survey will drive home the realities of former times in the same way.

Why did fascism rise in Italy, when it was one of the winners of WWI?
Italy never lost a war
Germany never won a war
>>405147
Cause winning a war doesnt meant that all your war-related problems dissapear.
>>405147
Because it didn't win as much as it had been promised.
Scott Shack Oates images
>Before you slag Scott remember that Roland Huntsford is the seller of nonsense
Why did people hate him?
>>404489
Because they were tricked into thinking that the alternative was better. My country is still paying the price for choosing the alternative
>>404489
Because he was an opportunistic idiot who put his country in war unprepared against Britain and France. Lost hundreds of thousands of lives, destroyed the Italian Empire, was more of a threat to Axis than to Allies and died like a bitch.
>>404489
They were lied to and manipulated by the (probably Jewish) NWO.

"Defenestrate the Persians, Alexander. Race war now!"
Seriously, Aristotle?

He told Alexander to have no mercy when fighting the Persians and to treat them like savages.
Apparently he got butthurt when he heard Alexander wasn't doing that.
