| Is it Fascist to be Anti-Communist?
Answering the above question is extremely important,
since it is a Communist tactic to immobilize their adversaries by
calling them Nazis or Fascists.
We will prove that one who is truly against Communism,
must also be against Fascism, for the two ideologies are similar.
Likewise, one who is truly against Fascism must also be against
Communism for the same reason.
Someone could object that if this is the case,
then Communists should call themselves Fascists. We answer that,
in the rigor of logic, they should be synonimous for Fascism and
Communism are similar, not only in their secondary aspects but also
in their essential aspects. This is precisely what we are going
to prove.
I. Philosophical Concepts
We have lined up statements from the principal
mentors of Nazi-Fascism with statements from the most important
ideologies of Communism. The resemblance between the two is patent.
| |
NAZI-FACISM |
COMMUNISM |
They obey common
ideologists:
Marx and Hegel.
|
"The National Socialist movement has one single master:
Marxism." - Goebbels1
"Mussolini likes to affirm that Marx is his spiritual
father."2
Croce and Gentile, the ideological mentors of Fascism, resort
to Hegel in the elaboration of Fascism.
|
"We are Communists, disciples of Marx and Engels."7
The Marxist affiliation of Communism is evident.
Marx for his part drew his dialetics from Hegel.
|
| Both have an atheistic doctrine. |
"We want no other god than
Germany" - Hitler3 |
"God is the personal enemy
of the Communist society." - Lenin8 |
| Both have a dialectical doctrine. |
"Struggle is the origin of
all things, because life is full of contrast." - Mussolini4 |
"The law of contradiction,
which is inherent to all things, to all phenomena, is the fundamental
law of dialectical materialism." - Mao Tse Tung9 |
| Both have an evolutionist doctrine. |
"We know that there is no definitive
state, that there is nothing durable, that there is only a perpetual
revolution." - Rauschning5 |
"There is nothing definitive,
absolute, or sacred. The only thing that exists is the uninterrupted
process of the future and the transitory." - Engels |
| Both have a revolutionary doctrine. |
"The program of the conception
of the world has the sense of a declaration of war against the
order of things which exist, against the state of things which
exist, in a word, against the structure of the world which presently
exists." - Hitler6 |
"Everything which exists must
die." - Engels. |
II. Concept of the State
| |
NAZI-FACISM |
COMMUNISM |
Both are heralds
of a totalitarian state.
|
"Everything in the State, nothing against the State,
nothing outside the State."- Mussolini1
"The State is the continent and the race is the content."
- Hitler2
|
"The dictatorship of the proletariat (the name given
to the State) is domination unrestrained by the law and based
upon force." - Lenin3
The State absorbs the family and property.
|
III. Economic Concept
| |
NAZI-FACISM |
COMMUNISM |
| They promote socialism. |
"We are socialists
and mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system."1 |
"It is evident
that Communism fights for the destruction of the capitalist
system and the implantation of socialism." |
| They promote the abolition
of property. |
"Socialism is the
concept of the world of the future which can only be realized
in the socialist state." -Goebbels2 |
"We can sum up
our doctrine in this proposition: the abolition of private property."
- Marx and Engels3 |
Where the right of private property
does not exist there is no justice. Socialism distributes only misery.
IV. Methods of Action
| A cult of violence. |
Nazi-Fascism and Communism both
promote a veritable cult of violence; the brutality of their
methods has become legendary. It could not be any other way:
Nietzche (for the Nazi-Fascists) and Lenin or Mao (for the Communists)
did not going to allow themselves to be held back by the "bourgeois
prejudices" of a morality. Accordingly, with neither God
nor law, they were prepared to sacrifice all things in the interests
of their nefarious ends. |
V. Concept of the Family
| |
NAZI-FACISM |
COMMUNISM |
| Children are torn away from their
families. |
"The children are educated
in common by experienced educators in special nurseries. The
youths from the time they reach six years of age, in boarding
school for boys. The "reproductive" mother lives supported
by the "House of Maternity." - Dr. Dupre |
"They reproach us with wanting
to abolish the exploitation of children by their parents. Well
then, we confess that crime." - Marx and Engels3 |
| The dissolution of the family. |
"Monogamy for the whole of
life is anti-natural, and a degradation of the species."
- Dr. Bergman2 |
"Positive propositions in view of a future society...
Abolition of the family, of private gains..." - Marx
and Engels4
|
Without the family there is no morality.
The comparative tables above show clearly the similarities
between Communism and Nazi-Fascism. Both systems, being inspired
by the aberrations of Karl Marx, have as a consequence an erroneous
dialectical and evolutionist interpretation of society. Their doctrines
are fundamentally similar, having atheism and materialism as their
basic postulates. From these postulates, they deduce a socialist
socio-politico-economic system, which, annihilating all of the organisms
that should exist in a society (the family, unions, etc.); raises
upon its ruins the omnipotence of the state, in one case called
the dictatorship of the proletariat and in the other, the Third
Reich. Everything is sacrificed to that Moloch; individual rights
disappear; parents are even deprived of their rights over their
children.
The work of the Nazis; in tearing father from son,
and mother from daughter, is also done by Communism. It is the same
abomination which presents itself under different labels, two faces
of the same coin. The reasons that lead a person to oppose Communism
must lead him also to oppose Nazi-Fascism, because everything that
is abhorrent and anti-natural in the one is to be found in the other.
They are sons of the same father, Marx, and have the same end: the
destruction of civilization.
Someone could object by pointing to the conflicts
in word and deed that occurred between the Nazi-Fascists and the
Communists. Such an objection is easily answered by analyzing the
nature of these disputes, which have very little about them of real
conflict and very much that is operetta. Even a partially informed
observer perceives the deceit, for there has been no struggle between
Nazi-Fascism and Communism, but between Nazi-Fascists and Communists
who engage in fights and disputes that do not challenge their common
doctrines and methods. These "conflicts" have been skirmishes
between "brothers," bypassing that which is most essential
- their doctrine. They even provide mutual support for each other,
since in that uncautious person, believing in a real opposition
in the two ideologies, joins one in order to combat the other. Thus,
credulous persons who were crystallized against the aberrations
of the Nazis joined the Communists, and others crystallized against
the Communists joined the Nazis. Accordingly, it can be seen that
Communism and Nazi-Fascism are two sides of the same pincer, two
jaws of the same beast.
But if anyone doubts that the Communists are being
cynical who to call their true adversaries "Fascists,"
we ask them to meditate on this sentence of the masters of Communism:
"For the revolutionary, everything that contributes to the
rebellion is moral and everything that impedes it is immoral and
criminal." (Marx and Engels, Obras, Berlin, 1962, Vol.
28, page 427).
How to Avoid Falling into the Traps of Communism
1. Have a clear knowledge of the Communist
doctrine, its ends and methods, in order to able to combat it with
efficiency, without falling into a false anti-communism, such as
Nazism or Fascism.
2. In order for the action to be complete,
know the principles and final ends of anti-communism, because no
one fights for an ideal that he does not know.
3. We ought to have a love for the cause
that gives us heart, abnegation, and willingness to sacrifice for
the combat, because without this, however true our ideals may be,
we shall never conquer.
