And your point is...what?
That it was not resurrected as a modernRoman Empire by Mussolini and the Fascists, and has become a symbol of fascism?
Let's give you a bit of history that you seem to have missed.
1. Sometime after the First World War, the Babylon-Armageddon made its way into political theory. Each version had a people of God, under attack. There was the proletariat for the Bolsheviks and Stalinists; the children of the Roman wolf for Mussolinis Fascists; the Warriors of Christ the King for Francos Phalange, and the Aryan race for the Nazis.
2. Mussolini incorporated the ideas of Georges Sorels syndicalism to create his brand of fascism.
a. Syndicalism is similar to socialism but included violent, direction action.
b. Syndicalists believed in rule by revolutionary trade unions, from the French word syndicat. The Italian word fascio means bundle, but was commonly used as a synonym for unions.
c. Syndicalism proposed that society could be divided by professional sectors of the economy; this idea influenced FDRs New Deal.
Hold it there now Chica! I've been reading your pseudo intellectual claptrap all through this thread. You got sum splain' to do!
1. Syndicalism is an
ECONOMIC system NOT a POLITICAL system.
2. FDR was not a
syndicalist.
3. FDR was not a
fascist.
4. FDR was a dyed in the wool
socialist, your BS notwithstanding!
5. If you or others want an example of a President who had actual fascist leanings, look no further than Bush 43...examples follow!
6. Look up the theory of the "Unitary Presidency", read it and understand it!
7. Read Bush 43's signing statements and see how often he referenced and evoked his powers under the crackpot theory of a unitary presidency!
8. Read and understand the National Security Presidential Directive #51 (NSPD 51) Bush 43 signed in May 2007 giving the President the powers of a dictator!
9. #6, 7 & 8 should be enough to disclose the true political bent of the Bush 43 administrations when viewed through the prism of the surge of Nationalism cheered on with the prompts of the National Guv'ment post 9/11.
10. Your thinly veiled partisanship of this thread is nothing but an attempt to discredit the faction you and your ilk hold in unhealthy contempt, and trying to link the misguided FDR to fascism is beyond the pale.
Ya gonna Splain' or Refrain?
