By MAURICIO ENRIQUE FAU

We have summarized here the essential of this book by the author.

THE FASCISMS

CHAPTER 3 AN IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXT PRECURSOR TO FASCISMS

The crisis of the liberal model in the last quarter of the 19th century did not find an explanation in the scheme of rational thought. A stage characterized by irrationalism began. History lost its meaning as a process, and began to exalt unquestioned historical products such as the nation, race, etc.
Believing that the danger of the masses was imminent, the dominant minorities adapted the economic and political structures not through reforms, but through a transmutation of hierarchical society under the guise of democracy. A fight begins, not only against socialism, but against scientism, and materialism. That is, against the antagonistic social class and against the thought that had conceived reality as rationally analysable.

THE FASCISMS

CHAPTER 3 AN IDEOLOGICAL CONTEXT PRECURSOR TO FASCISMS

The crisis of the liberal model in the last quarter of the 19th century did not find an explanation in the scheme of rational thought. A stage characterized by irrationalism began. History lost its meaning as a process, and began to exalt unquestioned historical products such as the nation, race, etc.

Believing that the danger of the masses was imminent, the dominant minorities adapted the economic and political structures not through reforms, but through a transmutation of hierarchical society under the guise of democracy. A fight begins, not only against socialism, but against scientism, and materialism. That is, against the antagonistic social class and against the thought that had conceived reality as rationally analysable.

The World War I deepened the crisis. During the period between the two world wars, the ideological springs used by the bourgeoisie were diverse:

1) Social Darwinism, through a biased reading of Darwin's theory, held that man was in competition with his fellow man, and that only the fittest would survive this fight. This served to justify the rivalry between states in the imperialist stage.

There was a natural inequality, and only the elites were capable of running the country.

2) Nietzsche was another thinker who was intentionally interpreted. His concepts of creative domination and will to power were interpreted as mere brute force.

For this philosopher, there had been times like that of ancient Greece, or the Renaissance, in which educated minorities had imposed themselves on the plebs. But the nineteenth century brought times of bourgeois hegemony and people lacking creative force, so that society had become devitalized with the assimilation of cultural forms alien to it. The solution to this crisis of modernity would be the government of a caste of aristocrats who achieved moral cleanliness. There was no room for solidarity, nor for charity.

3) Conservative nationalism was another ideological spring: the bourgeoisie found a basis for its legitimation in non-democratic currents (unlike the period of the French Revolution, when the bourgeoisie constituted itself as the ruling class, and built its hegemony under the slogan of equality, liberty, fraternity). This nationalism considered the nation as a living organism that grew at the impulse of a superior force: the spirit of the people, defined by the language, and the common past.

The conservative nationalist position reached the most extreme positions, when national exaltation brought with it the idea of ​​hierarchy, the idea that there were superior nations called to fulfill glorious destinies to the detriment of others, as a justification for imperialism.

4) Racism, mainly in its anti-Semitic version, was a consequence of elitist and nationalist ideas.

5) Certain ideas linked to imperialism in which the importance does not lie in the fact that they were already promoters
