Topic: Christian fascism

	Fascism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fascism (in Italian, fascismo), capitalized, was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini.
		Fascism, in many respects, is an ideology of negativism: anti- liberal, anti- socialist, anti- Communist, anti- democratic, anti- egalitarian, etc., and in some of its forms anti- religion.
		Fascism and Communism are political systems that rose to prominence after World War I. Historians of the period between World War I and World War II such as E.H. Carr and Eric Hobsbawm point out that liberalism was under serious stress in this period and seemed to be a doomed philosophy.

	Neofascism and religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fascismâs essential syncretism meant that it was possible to find forms which overtly married ideology and religion - for example, in the Iron Guard, or among a limited number of Italian and German clerics (though most failed to see the radicalism at the core of fascism).
		"Christian fascism" is a term used by some critics, primarily on the political left, to describe what they see as totalitarian fascist politics in the contemporary Christian right, primarily in the United States.
		The term Christian fascism is generally used to desribe an emerging proto-fascism, and to warn that action is needed to stop the possible emergence of a theocratic fascist society.

	Christian Conservatives and Religious Freedom by William L. Anderson
		In fact, the "law and order" mentality of Christian conservatives (who appeal to Romans 13 to give near carte blanche to government law enforcement powers) is an important reason why the USA imprisons a quarter of the world’s prisoners (two million out of eight million).
		Many Christians are taking note of increased harassment by state authorities, but more often than not their reaction is to appeal to an even stronger — and more centralized — government.
		Yes, conservative Christians do not support the sexual agenda of the religious left, yet when it comes to private property rights and the growth of the authoritarian central state, it seems as though these two supposedly disparate groups are walking in near lockstep.

		For Mussolini, Fascism was the utter rejection of the French revolution, the explosion of the Enlightenment in to feudal Europe.
		It was the basis of fascism in the twentieth century and remains it.
		Christian apologists’ claim—that Germany’s traditional Christians were impotent in the face of Nazi terror—is a big lie on a scale that Goebbels would have enjoyed.

		Fascism took its name from the Italian word ‘ fascio ’, meaning in a political context a ‘union’ or ‘front’ (the ancient Roman symbol of authority, the fasces, was initially not part of the movement's iconography).
		Sturzo contrasted Fascism’s street violence with what he saw as conciliatory nature of core Christian values; he also feared that Fascism's goal was the destruction of all opposition, not just the left.
		In the 1950s and 1960s, arguably the two most common theories saw fascism as a movement of the middle class in crisis, or as a movement which appealed to individuals suffering from anomie as a result of rapid change (mass society theory).

	Boundless: A Fascist by Any Other Name (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Fascism tells people that nature, not God, is their true creator and that they can, therefore, do whatever seems natural.
		Fascism also tells people what the source of evil is: alienation from nature, a separation that is attributed to the Jews, who gave the world the monotheism of Genesis.
		And finally, fascism says salvation comes by erasing all vestiges of transcendence, by destroying the Jews and their influence, and by emasculating Christianity.

	The Christian Holocaust Homepage (SODOMIZE BABY JESUS) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Christian Holocaust movement founds its kinetic potential upon the simple discovery of how language, culture, and social inculcation dictate individual human intellectual precepts, forming the filter which the individual uses to process the world.
		Christianity believes heavily in that filter with its duty-centric justification-based system of moral logic and its karmic work ethic, the primary elements of control in society today.
		Society has brought us many good things and the addiction of their continued expense; Christianity believes this is progress and conveniently denies the importance of death with its explanation of the afterlife.

		Fascism rallies the people to a single strong leader by convincing them that society is under attack, by pointing to the nation's glorious destiny, and by blaming scapegoats within the society for the nation's problems.
		Also, Christianity's roots go back alot longer than America and there was a lot of oppression and spilled blood by the Christians who were in charge back then.
		Christians are, or soon will be, asked to believe that those who disagree with a particular end-times theology are not just deluded but evil.

		While atheists use quotes from Hitler to make their case that he was a Christian, they ignore "Hitler's own account in Mein Kampf of a latter transformative moment in his perception of Jews" (Rosenbaum, Explaining Hitler), which flies in the face of the whole Maccoby thesis.
		The belief that Christianity provided the soil in which Fascism took root and received its nourishment, stems from a faulty view, both of Christianity and Fascism.
		Fascism is essentially a response to the alienation that has been a part of the spiritual landscape of the West since the Enlightenment.

	The Pagan Roots Of The Fascist Culture
		The foundations of fascism were laid by a number of European thinkers in the 19th century, and it was put into practice in the 20th century by such European counties as Italy and Germany.
		Christianity, which believes in and tries to bring people to live by love, compassion, sacrifice, affection and humility, is the complete antithesis of fascism.
		Fascism, which denies the religion that God has revealed to mankind and reveres the deviant pagan religion of its ancestors, actually consists of a great imprudence.

	Christian Reconstruction
		The New Right, in many cases, is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts, confuses, and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people.
		In many areas of Christian teaching this theological method arrives at conclusions that diverge from classical Christian teaching with its christological norm, inclusive biblical source, and full-orbed ecclesial response.
		Christian liberty means that we are free of the ideologies of the right or left, and even free enough to say a human "Yes" or "No" or "Yes and No" to the passions and proposals of one or another when faith and facts warrant it.

	Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis: XIII: Fascism and Fundamentalism
		Earlier forms of fascism in America -- particularly the extremists who formed small but widespread societies built around neo-Nazi philosophies and admiration for Hitler, most notably the Silver Shirts, who were led by the crypto-fascist mystical "philosopher" William Dudley Pelley -- were explicitly "Christian" in nature.
		The proto-fascist Patriots represented the efforts of Christian fascism to mainstream itself, and their relative success, though fleeting, gave a surprising indication of the presence of a totalist mindset in America, particularly among conservative fundamentalists.
		Rather, it is against the religious fascism that has embedded itself within the broader fundamentalist sectors of both Christian and Muslim societies.

	Christian Democracy : From Fascism to the CDU
		Totalitarian nature of fascism : i.e.: in Germany Churches were brought under tight Gov. control, curriculum of Catholic schools was supervised.
		In the early years of fascism the Church seemed willing to support the dictators (seen as a means of preventing the spread of atheistic communism) i.e.: in Italy agreements w/ Mussolini, in Germany it only criticized the Nazi regime in 1937!
		Christian faith doesn’t have the same close relationship between Church and state as in Islam, therefore a high degree of intermixing of religion and law or constitution was not expected.

		The fascism of Nazi Germany belongs to a world so horrendous it often seems to defy the possibility of repetition or analogy.
		He stops short of calling the Christian right fascist but his decision to draw parallels, especially in the uses of propaganda, was controversial.
		The truly Christian right is not there and never will be (since being a real follower of Jesus could never coincide with being a NeoFascist), but there's a group of right wing religionists who are already there.

		And, again, Christian Fascism is a real force in its own right, it has its own dynamic, within the ruling class and within society broadly.

		My point at the time was fascism's not just a phenomenon unique to 1930s and 40s and defeated in 1945 but something that can recrudesce.
		"Christian fascism," the Maoists call it, emphasizing its social agenda which presently includes reversing Roe vs. Wade, banning gay marriage, promoting school prayer, challenging science, and generally attacking the strict separation of church and state.
		But Christian fundamentalists, who have been agitating for years for prayer in the schools, textbook censorship, public display of the 10 Commandments, etc., haven't from the grass roots been demanding U.S. military action to achieve regime change in the Middle East.

		For evangelical Christians with an interest in prophecy, the headlines always come with asterisks pointing to scriptural footnotes.
		Since Sept. 11, people from cooler corners of Christianity have begun asking questions about what the Bible has to say about how the world ends, and preachers have answered their questions with sermons they could not have imagined giving a year ago.
		And even among more secular Americans, there were some who were primed to see an omen in the smoke of the flaming towers—though it had more to do with their beach reading than with their Bible studies.
