Hypocrisy or contradictions are not an obstacle for fascism, at all. Quite the opposite! So yes they want you to know they cheated, and that they outsmarted you that way, because you were too dumb to stop them, it’s not something that they want to hide, it’s a powermove. As in I can cheat and you can’t do anything about it even if you tried.

Here is a literal quote:

“Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!” - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935, zitiert nach Helmut Heiber (Hrsg.), Goebbels-Reden, Band 1, Droste, Düsseldorf 1971,

translation: “When our opponents say: ‘Yes, we did grant you the […] freedom of opinion earlier – –’, well, the fact that you granted it to us is certainly no proof that we should do the same for you! […] That you gave it to us – that is precisely proof of how stupid you are!”

They have apparently succeeded in poisoning the meaning of the term.

It would seem the common problem in any political system is always authoritarianism? Is there historical case where a king or similar actually helped the people that I can study more?

The famously “egalitarian” Nazis who thought provokingly also railed against the “Jewish capitalism” in their “egalitarian” pursuit of racial purity and a welfare state for the superior “egalitarian” Aryan volk?

Here is Mussolinis doctrine: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14058/14058-h/14058-h.htm

“No individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, labour unions, classes) outside the State. For this reason Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which clings rigidly to class war in the historic evolution and ignores the unity of the State which moulds the classes into a single, moral and economic reality.”

Straight out of the pigs mouth. Of course, it’s still propaganda, he could have said it is socialism, and it still wouldn’t be socialism if it isn’t socialism. The same way you can call a pig a horse, or the Nazis egalitarian.

Whats a tankie btw?

Yes you are confused. Fascism is not “fundamentally a left wing ideology” because they were friendly with the Nazis. Fascism was right authoritarianism, NSDAP (Nazis) was right authoritariansim. The Nazis were not a left party. You are completely confused by the “socialist” part in the name. Which they intentionally used to confuse. The term “socialist” was used for propaganda, to attract workers, but their policies were not socialist but were right-wing nationalist, authoritarian, racist. They used “socialist” to mean state control of certain aspects, but not collective ownership, and they opposed Marxist socialism.

80 year old propaganda still confusing you. What kind of books you reading? I’m curious.

They got you! Authoritarians LOVE rebranding and confusing language, calling themself democratic people republic. Or calling themself national socialists depsite murdering the disabled! It makes no sense and they love doing it, because it confuses people like you!
