Fascism and Nazism share a common totalitarian view of an all-powerful and all-encompassing state
apparatus, based on the rejection of a multi-party legislature. Although it is certainly true that
Nazism and Fascism differ in several ways--even if Hitler's movement was initially inspired by what
Mussolini was doing in Italy--I am very reluctant to post on the other side of this debate, because
the elaboration under the post's title implies that the author wants to engage in a sort of
apologetics, on behalf of Fascism.
Nazism differed from Fascism on a number of fronts, but most obviously in its treatment of Jews.
While Fascists were anti-Semitic as well, Hitler's Nazi movement supported a genocidal approach that
contrasted markedly with more traditional forms of verbal anti-Semitism prevalent throughout Europe.
The two ideologies also differed when it came to the state's relationship with churches. While
Fascism was much more inclined to seek rapprochement with religious leaders because it felt that
their support was essential, Hitler only occasionally sought cooperation with churches, but always
in order to weaken them. As such, Fascism was different from Nazism in that it allowed for
independent centres of authority to exist, where Hitler offered no such exceptions. |
