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?
Hey my hand is up at the back of the class...its not a breeding ground because very few if any African leaders have as a matter of policy instilled and informed their respective nations of their past glories. Too much colonial education materials in schools. Look if they are not even instructing their youth in their own languages then I cant see how that will extend to pride in all things indigenous.
When that happens you may see fascism in Africa. Do people in West Africa / does popular culture glorify the past empires of the region in the thousands of films from Nigeria etc.... Will majority Islamic Ethiopia/ Arab run Egypt? Did Mugabe in Zim? Thats my theory.
