Athenius Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Strange post from a guy in an alliance who responded to our constant pleas for a better world with " You don't like it? Do something about it. Might make right." and other phrases often used by a totalitarian dictatorship such as that which you describe. If we're fascist then what are you? Heroes? Saviors? Your arrogance in thinking that this world cannot get along without your iron fist and often bragged about jackboots is what got you in this mess. Your posts have shown that not only do you have no idea what's going on or what this is about, but that you have learned nothing about how it got to be this way. When it's back is to the wall, even a mouse will fight it's way out. You would do well to remember that. Yous ill-repute and heathen ideals are to be questioned. All that 'you' and 'your people' care about is: Trolling and Destruction! Good day sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozaffar Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Athenius, keep up spreading the good word. You should not listen to the foreign agents that have infiltrated the NPO and are telling you to stop, they are not serving Lady Pacifica, nay they have prostituted themselves to the enemies of Order, Civilization and Freedom. The day of their final judgement is not far away Athenius, along with the other traitors who were given so much by the Order and are now destroying it!!!! I am looking forward to your future work comrade!! Edited April 28, 2009 by Mozaffar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He Who Has No Name Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 What's wrong with fascism? Nothing, honestly, as long as the rest of us have enough ammo to enjoy the live target practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogaden Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) What's wrong with fascism? Any 'ism' is not inherently wrong, which is why it is usually best to specify which particular version of fascism as practiced by a particular nation at a particular time in order to do any critical analysis. It should be noted that the National Socialists of Germany circa 1933-1945 held a few ideals in common with Fascism, but were not 'fascists' per se, as their beliefs were actually more in line with an ethnic caste-based version of authoritarian socialism which seperated the world into humans (them) subhumans (most people, to enslave) and inhumans (people to just kill). If anything I would call it a twisted and evil version of Socialist Humanism, maybe Socialist Dehumanism? Fascism itself was basically nothing special or revolutionary, but just plain old fashioned Authoritarian Populism. Put some strongman in charge with the backing of the army and the establishment, and tell those damn foreigners to f off, maybe invade them and take their stuff while you're at it, since your nation deserves it more than they do, and beat up those damn hippies who keep saying we should be nice to each other for a change. Fascism is pretty much just a 20th century version of Tribalism wrapped in fancy new clothes. The irony of history is that people praise the Roman Empire for it's accomplishments and tear down the Fascist states of the 1930s, but Fascism was modeled on the Roman Republic. The Ancient Romans were jerks. Edited April 27, 2009 by James Dahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Tolkien Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I unload truckloads of vitriol unto the Roman Empire daily: it was far worse then the modern ideology of either fascism/nationalism. The simple definition of fascism is extreme nationalism: state over individual, and all that hubbabaloo. The Roman Empire, on the other hand... Well, I could say alot of things about them. It all depends on perspective. There is nothing inherently wrong with any Marxist ideology, but people still tend to have an irrational fear of them. On the other hand, the NoR/NoV v. INT/other Communist/Socialist/Anarchist wars did help make the game interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mussolandia Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What's wrong with fascism? Why nothing, my lord. Back in the day, we would have slapped this little serf silly for preaching against the ideology followed by so many of his brothers. But times have changed, I suppose.

Perhaps he has 'lost' sight of the true goal of 'Mother Pacifica'! The 'fascist' vs 'communist' 'debate' in regards to the NPO has been going on for a long time and will continue for 'even longer'!

Here's how it broke down (including only rivals and not all Left alliances, as not all left alliances were invested in the rivalry): ICP, LSF, SoL v. NoR ICP, ICSN, LSF v. NoR SWF, LSF v. NoR LSF v.

Druid Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 All governments exist due to consent of the people, either through fear or acquiescence. The only difference is the total level of involvement between the government and the population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
