The Aesthetics of Fascism | Artist Talk by Brooks Turner

Racism and fascism are not the same thing, one thing they have in common though is that the 2 terms get thrown around to much.

[@juhlsghouls]

Racism is a tool used by fascism to attain power through nationalism and a common enemy

@@Johnb.78 that literally doesn't invalidate Julia Fox's argument at all. OP is the one who has a false argument.

@@juhlsghouls That's correct. There's fascism without racism (Franco's Spain, if you were catholic race didn't mattered, and Mussolini's Italy before the feat. Germany) and racism without fascism (Nowadays Japan is an ethnostate and it's democratic, just like Korea) Still, it's undeniable the fact that racism is a tool used by some fascists: Showa Fascism anyone?

@Jose Martinez DeJesus race isn't a social construct, but it is more of a spectrum, rather than what it was viewed as originally.

Fascism does not automatically equal racism. The Brazilian Integralists had black men and women in their ranks who were treated the same as their white and Hispanic brethren. Mussolini upon his successful conquest of Ethiopia freed the native African slaves who were being held by wealthy African landowners. Balbo himself met with Native American leaders and denounced the racial inequality of blacks in the U.S.
