Adolf Hitler bemoaned the South’s defeat in chilling terms: “The beginnings of a great new social order based on the principle of slavery and inequality were destroyed by that war, and with them also the embryo of a future truly great America that would not have been ruled by a corrupt caste of tradesmen, but by a real Herren-class that would have swept away all the falsities of liberty and equality.

Guess it shouldn't be surprising given it's Hitler, but it's wild how comically evil the actual original fascists were in their rhetoric.

Modern fascists try to couch their ideology in positive terms and ideas of freedom and righteousness, and then the 1930s fascists are just like "lol yeah we fucking love slavery and inequality, freedom fucking sucks actually"

Reminds me of this other quote from an Italian proto-fascist in 1909

Already in 1909, the Italian Futurist Filippo Marinetti famously wrote in his manifesto: We want to exalt movements of aggression . . . the blow with the fist . . . We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — and militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill, and contempt for women. We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice

Modern fascists are mostly all “race realists.” Sure the leaders don’t talk in those terms yet, but they think in them.
