 One must be knowledeable and pragmatic in a discussion, which I am afraid is not the case with a few. Just imagine people calling RSS a fascist organization, I could die laughing on a bed of nails. At least read about Fascism please.

Sadly, it's not so in this discussion forum. Some have a single point agenda.Blind belief on a particular party, which is rusting and became obsolete.  Such people never try to learn the things. Modi's meteoric rise has become an eyesore for them. But the reality is, Modi will remain as the idol of this Nation. There is a saying. " Suraj se Kiran, Badal se pawan Kab tak chupegi. " Who can stop a rising Sun ?

It is important to understand what Fascism is. I have written extensively on Fascism and had a first-hand view of it in Italy as well. Fascism is a special philosophy and exists from Roman times. i shall give my ref to Fascism. Those who talk of RSSbeing a Fascist organization, I am afraid do not know what Fascism is. On this subject i shall not cross swords with people who parrot "fascism" not knowing what it is. 

 

 

 

I agree that this is a term used loosely by anyone and everyone when they want  to describe someone or something they dont agree with and we have to take it in the same spirit, that it actually means nothing or very little...I am quoting an interesting take on Fascism that I came across in an article written by George Orwell..

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

Yet underneath all this mess there does lie a kind of buried meaning. To begin with, it is clear that there are very great differences, some of them easy to point out and not easy to explain away, between the régimes called Fascist and those called democratic. Secondly, if ‘Fascist’ means ‘in sympathy with Hitler’, some of the accusations I have listed above are obviously very much more justified than others. Thirdly, even the people who recklessly fling the word ‘Fascist’ in every direction attach at any rate an emotional significance to it. By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.

But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway. To say why would take too long, but basically it is because it is impossible to define Fascism satisfactorily without making admissions which neither the Fascists themselves, nor the Conservatives, nor Socialists of any colour, are willing to make. All one can do for the moment is to use the word with a certain amount of circumspection and not, as is usually done, degrade it to the level of a swearword.


Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

Fascism means very harsh control or authority and also organising  society in which a single person or thought is used to control the lives of people and they are not allowed to disagree. Social regimentation is sought. In a pluralistic society any group trying to force one philosophy over all others usually is seen as moving towards fascism. Microanalysis is not going to alter the feelings of many.

So, I guess the word  Fascism is a free for all - for those who understand, those who misunderstand, those who want to be misunderstood and those who dont know what they are talking about and finally those who want to show they know what it is all about ..

Without knowing the definition and meaning of Fascism in discussions will send wrong message and make the people confused. Some members are habituated to indulge in such practices.

 

I knew both of you wise persons would say what you have to say. I have given a verbatim almost  definition of fascism from Webster dictionary . One of you is thoroughly confused and the other as usual shoots from the hip. This is fascism in practice. Shoot but do not scoot.

That makes you the wisest person around , so there is nothing left for inferior beings like the rest of us to say anything more on the subject of Fascism, the definition of which by the way is available on the net !

Why you are disturbed, when no member's name is raised with a name ? There are other members too who use Fascism in a wrong way. In this connection I must appreciate M.G. Singh who condemned a member for using  the word Fascism in a wrong way.

Fascism is a philosophy. Like all philosophies, it has good and bad points. In India, nobody is a fascist and even Bose who joined hands with the Fascists was not a fascist.

Fascist is not all bad as at a time when anarchy prevails, it brings order in society. Thus, when  Mussolini and his fascists  seized power in Rome, things improved and for the first time trains ran on time and trade unions were controlled. The order was restored. That he lost the war is another matter.
