Comment on Anon doubts WW2 Germany
TSG_Asmodeus@lemmy.world 12 hours agoThat’s how Fascists work though. They pick fights with bigger and bigger opponents – because they’re invulnerable, you see – until they lose. Their economy was absolutely insane, and required flat out pillaging their neighbours. Eventually your neighbours are too big to pillage.

Isn’t that not just an imperialistic trait, not necessarily a fascistic one? Franco’s Spain didn’t collapse, while it was still very much fascistic.
All the while, this trait is very much applicable to the Roman, Ottoman, Soviet or US empires.

Historians debate just how fascist Franco was. Hell, Orwell wasn’t even quite sure, and he was quite open about the fact that he went to Spain to kill a fascist.
