How is the Galactic Empire Fascist?
>>200749862fascism is when bad guy does stuff
>People side with the Empire so much and is so much cooler than everything else they have to keep reminding people they're the bad guys and you should feel bad for supporting them instead of the rainbow faggots
>rigidly hierarchical>punitive>aesthetic>orderly>industriousIt is (and that's a good thing)
>>200749862because as George Lucas clearly stated on public record "it's based on Vietnam, with the empire being the US", so yes, they are literally space villains because the US is an evil empire attacking tiny rebels like the Vietnamese, which explains the ewok jungle traps bit.if that twitter cunt is in the US, it is an evil fascist villain baby killer that funds baby killer Israel as well and butchers Vietnamese babies by killing them as a baby killer
>>200749932The average tie fighter pilot was fit, in shape, had to keep his wits due to the lack of shields, and fought bravely despite their weaker planes.While the resistance looks like this...

>>200749862This is the reason why I prefer the prequels, I can't watch the original trilogy without seeing the antagonists as fascists (irl good guys).
>>200749862To be fair it is fascist but it depends on who's in charge. The changes Reinhard von Lohengramm managed to do happened BECAUSE he was operating in a fascist system. Fascism isn't a four letter word, it's the people running it that ruin things or make it mean somethingThe democracy Yang Wen-li served under continuously got in the way of any real change, It's democracy and that's wonderful but sometimes people aren't built for it, democracy invites corruption and rot over time.The enemy in both cases is human nature.
>>200750177Fascism acknowledges and manages human nature proactively, which is why it works. It is truly the realist's paradigm, and that's why the cretins hate it, they can no longer escape attention and judgement as the society finds those who aren't doing their part.
>>200750009There were so many actual imperial powers that meet the same qualifications. Ancient China, India. Babylon and Rome are fascist by that definition
>>200750177>The changes Reinhard von Lohengramm managed to do happened BECAUSE he was operating in a fascist system.He was operating in a hereditary monarchy
>>200750989You are correct. It's just a word, anon. The concept itself is eternal. There's a reason why monarchists and fascists are frequently in league, it's just different flavors of the same system.
>>200750177>>200750274Fascism is simply an evolution of national syndicalism, even then name fascism is based on 'fasces', a term used for syndicalist trade unions in Western Europe, it's not some divine belief or the literal anti-christ the way some Marxists talk about it, it's just a straig of socailist scoaial unironically, when you strip away the bullshit, the ideals, the "nuances" in ideology, and especially the proclaimed enemies, there is very little fucking difference between fascist, communist and nationalist governments, It all blends back into each other because it all relies on the same base retardation regarding economics, psychology, and sociology.
>>200751047I don't see it that way at all. For me it's just nationalism and socialism. Post-WW2 most of the Soviet-allied states were fascist by most definitions but were nominally Communist
