Question

What is "facism" and "Marxist"

Answer 1

Fascism is a political ideology that is associated with one or more of the following characteristics: 1) a very high degree of nationalism, 2) centralized control of private enterprise (corporatism), and, after it attains political control of a country, involves 3) a powerful executive-centered (or even dictatorial) state that views the nation as superior to the individuals or groups composing it (authoritarianism.)

Fascism also typically calls for the regeneration of the nation, uses populist appeals to unity, and extols militarism as a major virtue. It also is associated with anti-liberalism, anti-communism and anti-anarchism.


Marxism refers to the philosophy and social theory on one hand, and to the political practice based on Marxist theory on the other hand (namely, parts of the First International during Marx's time, communist parties and later states).

Karl Marx, a 19th century German, Jewish born atheist, socialist philosopher, economist, journalist, and revolutionary, often in collaboration with Friedrich Engels, drew on G.W.F. Hegel's philosophy, the political economy of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, and theorists of 19th century French republicanism and socialism, to develop a critique of society which he claimed was both scientific and revolutionary.

This critique achieved its most systematic (albeit unfinished) expression in his most famous work, Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, more commonly known as Das Kapital (1867).

He believed that a revolution would be the catalyst in the transformation from capitalism to socialism. Locating itself at the far left, Marxism has been situated largely outside the Western political mainstream since its inception and up to the present day, although it has played a major role in history.

Today, Marxist political parties of widely different sizes survive in most countries around the world, while the influences of Marx's philosophy may be found in many Marxist and non-Marxist works around the world.

Answer 2

Facism and Socialism (you say "Marxist") are opposites on the political spectrum. Imagine a scale of 0 to 10. at 0, or the far right, exists facism, which is economic and political control of the masses controlled by a single individual or an elite few. Facism is driven by strength of personalities and absolute power, dictatorial (Hitler and Hussein are examples. between 1 and 4 resides the conservatives, who believe in survival of the fittest, and economiy dominated by market forces. The philosophy of conservatism is that the successful are entitled to dominance. At 5 lies the moderates. They believe in a balace of both conservative and liberal philosophies, and seek growth through compromise and cooperation between competing interests. Between 6 and 9 are the liberals, who believe that the role of government is to protect the less fortunate, and that there is a fundamental moral responsibility of the successful to care for the less unsuccessful. They feel that society should sacrifice profit for long term community benets. At 10 lies the Socialists, whko believe in a Utopian existance where there are no requirements for personal possessions, that everybody is equal, and that society is based upon everyone contributing according to their abilities and benefiting according to their needs. Each model has benefits and flaws. The extremist of both sides of the scale are usually the most vocal and least open to debate and an open exchange of ideas. The vast majority of society are usually hovering between 4 and 6 on the scale. Hope this helps.
