People tend to use this word as a synonym to "everything bad", but it's not its actual meaning. Fascism is a one of totalitarian ideologies, that has racism in its core. We'll have a separate post for racism, but its idea revolves around the natural superiority of one race over all "others," leading to the belief that all "others" should either be eliminated or enslaved.
Natural superiority means it comes from nature, so once being born you can do abolutely nothing to change it.
Paradoxically, fascism did not originate from uneducated savages, but rather from respectable and intelligent professors.
Whoa! Thank you so much for the recc. I have just lately dived into Marxism, and the adjacent history surrounding and leading to our modern time, and while lurking certain communities trying to learn, I had that same thought as your comment. So I'm really glad you have given me a personal recommendation that fits in with what I'm currently cramming my head with. Making up for lost time I guess. Appreciate it alot.
