Fascism and the myth of racial superiority

Original: The people were taught that their race was "superior." Since this concept of "superior" and "inferior" race is completel

A commentary drawing on the US Army's historical explanation of fascism is circulating, arguing that fascist regimes taught citizens their race was superior, and that since this idea contradicts all scientific findings, both science and schools had to be controlled and perverted to sustain the propaganda. The post frames the lesson as a warning relevant to current US politics, using history to highlight how education and misinformation are leveraged under authoritarian rule.

Why now: Commentators are drawing historical parallels between fascist propaganda and current US political rhetoric.
