Fascism.

Fascism is a very simple philosophy compared to Liberalism. Where Liberalism attempts, in an embarrassed fashion, to either justify or preach for the limitedness of the State, Fascism throws itself whole-heartedly into, and revels in, the Tyranny of the coercive nature of the State. It is, fundamentally, a form of Irrationalism. It is a denial of everything that science and morality teaches. Anything which props up a hierarchy is co-opted into Fascist thinking. It observes distinctions in our social ecology where there are none, and elides and blurs together important differences where they actually do exist.

Think for a moment: Racism. Sexism, Homophobia. Ecological destruction. The death cults of the military and the now _civil_ military: the Police. The deliberate and wanton impoverishment of the great mass of humanity--be it through work, underwork, casualisation, or precarity. These are the consequences of the enthusiastic implementation of unnatural aims--the aims of hierarchical political agendas.

Fascism is much like the ancient political structure of a Tyrrany. We may as well call the impulse to fascist attitudes and political action today as that--Tyrannical ends. Indeed there is an important connection between the increasingly energetic movement to stratify society into any form of class and caste, and the need for an Absolute Power, a _Leviathan_ that monopolises coercion. This is an irrationalism in the same was as it is logically impossible for slavery to ever be moral: how could you ever give your freedom away? And, I say, if you cannot give all your freedom away, how could you even alienate a single or separable part?
