Calling a pre-industrial remnant of absolutism fascism because the Romanovs where into antisemitism and shiny uniforms is ... a stretch, really.
Regardless of what you want to call it, can we assume that Bosheviks were harassed and persecuted by the ruling class before they were successful? Hopefully some historians can share how they were able to survive under those pressures.
Of course, but the repression apparatus of the Ochrana, the White Army etc. is also entirely different in scope than what the USA wield today. Materially, there are almost no similarities. If you pick something as vastly different as the fight against Tzarist Russia because the Bolsheviks are most sympathetic to you as an ML, you will end up LARPing.
Sure, I get that the conditions aren't the same and maybe not similar enough to be worth examining. Maybe the Black Panther Party is a better example? Although they and BLM (before it was taken over by libs) could be a more relevant topic to cover.
Nah bro the mistake is believing the Kaiserreich was a profoundly different ideology to the Hitlerites.
The only important difference was the degree of industrialization, and a certain Futurist aesthetic of the esrly to mid 20th century.
Fascism is eternal.
Utterly ahistoric, idealist take, sorry i can't agree with this in the slightest.
Dafuq how is that idealist? I’m putting the material reality and structure of the state, the actual political continuity between the Kaiserreich and Nazi Germany, ahead of the ideals it espoused to say they’re the same thing.
I’m stripping away the aesthetics and pointing to the structure of power.
It was fucking Luddendorf who made Hitler an important political figure in the first place. Get the fuck out of here with your “that’s idealism” and read a book about the 1920s.
