Try to lead an ideology that is incompatible with your nation.

>fascism

Do you even know what it means?
Does anyone know what it means?
Does it actually have a meaning these days?

Like, what are the economic strategies, the organization of labor, the welfare situation, the free speech situation, what does fascism say about these?

The word has absolutely no meaning. Its only objective meaning, the literal one, means italian socialism. Its named after the revolutionaries in Italy, who got the king to disband the parliament and put them in charge instead, or else they start a civil war. Thats that.

I'd suggest reading Paxtons Anatomy of Fascism.

Fascism as an ideology is fundamentally incoherent in its practises and tenets. It's a mass political movement where the only real constant is a focus on national unity and superiorty, and the presence of a strongman leader.

Fascism is incoherent because it has no meaning.
Its a label a few people put on what they were doing at the time, and thats all it ever was.
Nobody defined it before it began being stapled on parties and governments.

>It's a mass political movement where the only real constant is a focus on national unity and superiority
Thats nationalism.
>the presence of a strongman leader
Thats despotism.
>the combination of the two
Thats nationalistic despotism, and not all "fascist" states had that.

Lets look at some successful "fascist" parties.
>Austria
Wanted national unity and restoration of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Ended up becoming a german province instead.
So no superiority, no national unity (germans and austrians didn't consider themselves the same people), no strongman leader (basically let another country's despot take over).
>Spain
Took the country in a civil war, then sat on it and did nothing. Lost some colonies, stayed neutral in the war. Didn't seek superiority, or military expansion, or anything really. Just straight up conservative status quo.
>Italy
Rebuilding factories, creating what was essentially a guild system, tried colonialism. Strongman and superiority complex exist, but instead of national unity we have conquering of people who are definitely not italian - Albania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Ethiopia.
>Germany
Taking huge loans to rebuild the country, creating a socialist welfare state, reconquering lost land and trying to take over the region.
Strongman leader, although initially it was more of a party rule, and only after Mussolini gave him a few lessons did Hitler step up his african warlord dictator game. Ambitions to conquer non-germanic people, so nationalism took a back seat to imperialism.
>Bulgaria and Romania
WTF are you doing? A king, with a democratically elected parliament, trying to reconquer lost land, free market system, basically letting the country get puppeted by a foreign despot so it can be better managed.

The point is there is almost nothing in common between these.
They are all "fascist", so whatever fascist means must exist in all of them, yet they have very different chains of command, short and long term goals, economic model, market, organization, government, and so on.

Fascism has no meaning, it never did. That anglo fuhrer in the OP image was a nationalist.

>my perfect, infallible way of fascism has never been tried

>>1398316
>memes are a fine substitute for arguments!!

There is no perfect, infallible way of fascism, because fascism has no definition, since its a made up word that never had any meaning.
