The fascist promise problem: how contradictions persisted in power
Original: Question: How could the fascists keep their contradictory promises, once they got in power? # fascism # uspol # history
A question is circulating in political history discussions: how did fascist movements keep their contradictory promises once in government? The debate notes that fascists appealed simultaneously to workers and industrialists, to revolution and order. Historians generally answer that such regimes resolved tensions through propaganda, scapegoating, and redefining promises rather than fulfilling them. Commenters are drawing parallels to current United States politics.
Why now: People debating fascist history see parallels with current US political rhetoric and its internal contradictions
