What is fascism and why is it considered morally reprehensible?
I’m not sure if this is the right sub but I’m not sure where else to ask this question since it’s a touchy subject and may come off as politically charged which isn’t my intention but…I’ve been reading a bit on it online and I’m still not sure what it actually means or why it’s considered 100% bad 100% of the time with the definitions I’ve read. From what I’ve gathered it essentially comes down to:
1: involving a dictator
2: an ideology that places race above yourself(not just race like color of your skin but ethnicity, religion, culture or nation)
3: strong government control
Now I’m not suggesting fascism is good, but I fail to see how it is different to past governments like the British Royal family or any country that had a king/queen. Or how it’s different than any person having a stronger sense of loyalty toward their country, culture, or religion than other countries cultures or religions.
I’m also not trying to start a debate nor do I have any agenda with this post I’m just genuinely confused
