Competition creates service from businesses, and competition produces benefits for everyone
- Ideologies or parties that may seem completely opposite can be "bipartisan" in many aspects.
- Fascism, National Socialism, and Marxian socialism are three such ideologies: different enough to compete, but similar enough to attract the same type of person.
Hitler: The Nazi Competitor
- After the end of World War One, the German royal family was dethroned and the November revolution saw the creation of the People's State of Bavaria, run by Kurt Eisner
- Hitler was a participant in this new Bavarian state, according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia; Hitler was elected to be a soldier's council representative to civilian authorities
- Fascism is another competitor for both the national and Marxian socialists
- Both had different immediate priorities, and Hitler considered communism a Jewish ideology; but Hitler also considered capitalism Jewish, as he considered it to be "international Jewish finance"
Mussolini and Mosley: The Fascist Competitor
- After the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the communist and socialist parties were more or less united and had one clear goal: to unite the workers of the world through international revolution
- Benito Mussolini rebranded and created a new political movement: Fascism
- Fascism was syndicalism or trade unionism that was made to benefit the Italian worker, but left out the international worker
Conclusion
- The collective mind, while noble for its want to improve lives, has caused great suffering in the world
- While each ideology discussed, such as national socialism, Marxian socialism, and fascism each stem from a similar tree and promote economic regimentation; socially are different enough to compete for someone with a collectivist mindset
- But these people will always need the state and its power to wipe out the successful and usher in a utopia
