An ideology that describes my views is National Socialism. Sadly, it has been treated like it's evil because of Hitler's Nazism. Another thing is that National Socialists advocate a mixed economy with private property, so it's not really a mainstream socialist view.

Bi0Hazard: National Socialism is how you got the word nazi. They are considered the same thing.

Germany was a fascist nation. If you liked what Hitler had minus the racism, then you are best described as a fascist.

Bi0Hazard: Okay, well let's make sure.

Here is my interpretation of fascism, as outlined by Mussolini. All fascist states, including Nazi Germany, had or believed in these things to some degree.

1. State backed corporatism. Capitalists work for the state, and the state works for capitalists.

2. Jingoism. Focus on a strong military and interventionist foreign policy.

3. Rejection of communism. Fascism as the only alternative to the rise of communism.

4. Extreme patriotism.

5. Self sufficiency. Fascism advocates that nations should seek absolute self sufficiency; A state of being where a nation had no need to rely on any other country.

6/7. Personal freedom and security. Both communists and fasists have historically promoted greater liberties. Mussolini believed that the state was the only thing maintaining personal freedom, and therefore the strength and security of the state was the vanguard of freedom.

8. Inequality. Fascism embraces the idea of inequality, sometimes in different ways. This is in direct counter to communism, which often sends the message that all men should be treated absolutely the same. That is why fascists believe so strongly in capitalism.

The horseshoe theory holds that the more radical an ideology is, the more they begin to resemble each other.

Fascists and anarchists fight all the time, but in reality, Mussolini's philosophy isn't that far off from what anarchists believe. He founded the idea of fascism.

Mussolini talks about the human spirit, how human struggle is critical to life, a rejection of liberal oriented individualism (that mankinds happiness is determined by their social status) , entitlement, ect.

Non-coincidentally, I believe in all of those same things, but we reach a different conclusion. Mussolini believed the only way to maintain and achieve these things was through a totalitarian state, while I believe the best way to achieve these things are through an absolute absence of the state.

This is known as the horse-shoe theory, which promotes the idea that all radical ideologies closely resemble each other. This is interesting, because many radical ideologies are often viewed as being exact opposites of each other.

Crow: It's on the chart I showed you, anarchism and nazism/fascism are both on the bottom on irrational(belief that human rationality cannot perfect society) but on opposite sides on attitude towards the state. I am not sure if this is what your talking about though.
So, that would mean anarchism and fascism, same belief on human nature with different methods?

Bi0Hazard: Anarcho-capitalism promotes fascism with different methods.
Anarcho-communism promotes communism with different methods.

All radical factions hate each other more than they do the compromise (being the modern liberalized government
