>>807654>What do you do when someone calls themselves a fascist, but is clearly unfamiliar with the basic tenets of fascism Excellent question - it applies in the same case as the Marxist who has never read Marx. To analyse this, we must look at fellowship in general. So, churches have (i) Scripture (e.g. Theory). Scripture has an (ii) "official" hermeneutic (e.g. Dogma), and an (iii) "unofficial" one (e.g. Heresy). In each case, scripture is appealed to, and so theory is the grounding. In the matter of Faith, one has "initiation" (e.g. Baptism, Eucharist, etc.) which is given by the acceptance of scripture, however implicit. A Church without a doctrine makes no sense. When one is Faithful in his Church, he may not even read scripture, yet he must be confirmed in it. Now, a Church cannot be merely theoretical, but also practical, and so the legacy of the Catholic Church has a difference from the words of Christ, say. Upon this, heretics start their own church to fulfill the "true" Faith (e.g. "not real communism", etc.) and so practice again appeals to theory, which seeks to align itself with less contradiction upon it. In any case, followers depend upon doctrine, which is my point. So, if someone calls themself a Marxist, but have a false idea of what Marx wrote, are they a true believer in the faith? We must remember that Fascist revision also exists, such as Strasserism, which sought to be a true National Socialism. ᴉuᴉlossnW also praises the Republic of Salo as "true" Fascism (while ᴉuᴉlossnW similarly regarded both Roosevelt and Stalin as Fascists - indeed, Keynes praised Hitler's economic policy in 1936). So, when one asks whether another is a "Fascist", it is probably good to ask "which kind?" the same as Marxists/Christians.
>just expressing that they're a nasty person with stupid prejudicesWell, there was a recent schism I saw between white nationalists and Hitlerians, since Hitler wanted to kill whites such as Slavs, and so Hitler was not pro-white. The nihilistic, transgressive sorts don't have theory like this, they just have vibes entirely determined by taboo. This is why you get the school shooter types who are everything at once - but this is not politics, still; it is the identity of a misanthrope. Hitler would kill these people.
