We know the name of the philosopher of capitalism, Adam Smith. We also know the name of the philosopher of Marxism, Karl Marx. So, quick: What is the name of the philosopher of fascism? Yes, exactly. You don't know. Giovanni Gentile, a lifelong socialist, who may be termed fascism's Karl Marx.

That was an interesting read! Thank you for sharing.

I couldn't be a devout member of this philosophy since human nature tends to devolve any form of governance into selfish and corrupt corpses of their former selves as time progresses. But this does shed a little more light into the history of that faction! Contextually speaking, I think the times might be changing a bit more radically or exponentially to introduce something new in the future but historically; this had merit.

Perhaps there could be a resurgence of something similar in an updated form as a step-wise function towards an eventuality. The only uniqueness with this guy is how it treats centralized power as inevitable or imminent. s0m iscue wit dat tho!
