13:35 Horseshoe theory is deeply flawed. I would be more inclined to say that Fascism is economically variant rather than keeping it pigeon holed as "far right", you downplay the diversity of reactionary thought and thus underestimate the movement if you do this.

[@TheSunship777]

Both the Far Left and the Far Right are seen as different sides of the same coin and the current theory is to go beyond that. Fascism could work as well as socialism . One can't say 'well look at Venezuela' or Fascist Italy when in fact globally and culturally elements of both have been culturally successful at different times and regions of the planet. There is nothing fallacious about Blood and Soil. They way it is used is another matter.

@@TheSunship777 *_"They way it is used is another matter."_* Yes, and the way it's used under Private Ownership of any type of Capitalist is usually to deplete it's resources and also coerce people who do not own land, to work for supbar survival-wages competing against eachother rather than the one exploiting them.

What's wrong with you? Venezuela has been gassing what? White people? Fascist action reinforces capitalism. Blood and Soil ideology doesn't even challenge capitalism.

There's a reason Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic farming was "appropriated": He conceived his own racial doctrines. Coloured people were lower on his evolutionary reincarnation ladder. Steiner claimed reincarnation as a darker skinned person was the result of karmic punishment and a lighter skin a reward. He even considered native Americans to be a seperate species of animals These theories are still used in the teacher training programs of Waldorf Schools The more you know

I’ve only just learned about ecofascism today. Great video, very informative!

[@lolno4384]

I was explaining ecofacism to a friend today and i found this and we watched it together (while in seperate houses, social distancing ftw) and it was VERY helpful in explaining, they really get it now, thanks for this video

[@rodneyjames2344]

Very appropriate for this decade's political turmoil!

[@NewMafiaOrder]

Indeed and not people know this !!!!!!!!

[@TheSunship777]

@@NewMafiaOrder A lot of people don't know that fascism = more government in our lives. And perhaps not such a bad idea if there was intelligence to motivate it along with a spirited culture. Not for America.

@@TheSunship777 Fascism is just one of the branches of third positionism, it'll be the people (race) that will mold "Fascism" around their beliefs, history and culture.

It's important to see this environmentalism in the context of the German unification. Remember that prior to the 19th century, no unified German state had ever existed. Germans at that time didn't share a common religion or a common history. Instead, this history was artificially produced by romantics and their worship of nature, especially forests, and the common people, which contrasted itself with the French, who, under Napoleon, represented everything bad about the Enlightenment. German nationality had to define itself as 'völkisch', because the German people were spread out over multiple states.

tiny states

This argument is valid about any country, including France.

[@NorthStar20]

This helped me understand the real motives behind the Mosque attack in Christchurch. The killer described himself as an 'eco-fascist '.

Its called becoming conscious

[@arthurruizborin9580]

A funny thing is that we believe that a fascist can't be worried with the environment, we just want to further our political power, ironic. Plus, social ecology seems too optimistic towards reality, almost schizophrenia

I find it strange that so few enviromentalists don't care about nuclear energy since it's so clean compared to other methodes.

thanks, in general, for your great videos

Can you imagine everyone “going back where they came from”? It’s ludicrous! First of all, we all come from Africa, but these right-wingers don’t believe that, so presumably they’d want everyone to return to where their immediate ancestors come from. The chaos! Some people would refuse to leave without force. Some people’s homelands would refuse to take them back. Some people are of mixed ancestry! And of course the European diaspora is excused from “going back where they came from”, right? Where are Indigenous Peoples of the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand supposed to go? It’s all very illogical! And, of course, stunningly evil.
