Fascism in Africa -
17-04-08, 02:39 PM
Fascism means many things, but one underling tone of fascism is a strong sense of national unity and pride for the nation or a group of people. Fascist leaders try to draw from past events of history that include humiliation, murder and crime against his people by an outside force. Much like Adolf did with Germany before World War 2. However, one must not get confused with Nazism and Fascism as many scholars agree that Nazism is a type of fascism, and however, is not alike, with the word Fascism.
If the purpose of fascism is to unite people, under a collective mass, using the experience of past humiliation and defeat to channel that angry into uplifting the nation back to the days of glory. Then why isn't Africa a breading ground for fascism and national pride? Since every single person on that continent has had, directly or indirectly, experienced colonization and the effects of colonization. Africa has been repeatable gang rape by outside forces. Then why aren’t the people turning towards extreme means of capturing the glory days? If Germany can turn fascist over some treaty after WW1. Then why can't Africans take-up arms, and created a fascist utopia?
Not get me wrong, Nazism is bad, but so is communism and people don't have much problem with starling mass workers concentration camps, the allies said nothing after WW2. But Fascism is a realistic system of government for the African people, as it will channel all that anger and hate collect over 500 years of neo-colonialism from white Europeans into a super state where all people are marching in one direction. it can bring Africa back from the bring of absolute failure and continual decline, and out of the history books for good.
Think about it, if Africans have had the hardest time over the 500 year relationship between Europe & Africa. And Africans have been humiliated over & over again, and no one is giving African any justice. One has to ask what it takes for Africa to finally embrace Fascism.
