He's saying that Hitler and the German's are mutts who should stop LARPing as teutonic knights

...

This

Or to be more specific, everyone is a mutt, and race is a crumbling pillar to stand on

Of course he would say, do you even know what Italians look like?

GOD, I hate economic centrist protectionist Fascism, but HNNNNGHHHH mussolini is so fucking hot. that jawline is unreal.

#NotRealFascism

If I was in charge things would be different

He's not wrong. The idea that there are 'pure races' is nonsensical. At best, you could argue one of the amazon people's that have yet to make contact with civilisation are 'pure', everyone else is mixed by thousands of years of migration. However, this does not mean that Europe shouldn't be kept European.

He meant there were no niggers in his country so he didn't have to worry about them.

>inb4 sicilians are niggers

It means he lived in an ethnically homogeneous nation at that time. It's easy to be an egalitarian when the only people you deal with are your own kin and the odd exceptional nigger

He invaded Ethiopia, a largely nigger country, and made abyssian citizens into Italian citizens under the eyes of the law. He also empowered Jews and talked about supporting unions when the monarchists became irrelevant.

Pic is an Italian man, obviously not "biologically pure" so what's left for him is the "feeling", Mussolini had to do with the people he had.

Mussolini was a civic cuck

"Race isn't real"
>t. all white country

>I hate economic centrist protectionist Fascism,

Low IQ detected

>live in a time where diversity and race aren't a big deal cause your country is filled with people like you
k...

He means he is scientifically illiterate and had goals that included empire and the multicult. He wanted Italians to swallow total bullshit.

Just like the US.

Lolwut. In my general observation, economic populism tends to appeal to people in the average to high average range, and almost everyone with a significantly high IQ that I know is either an Austrian or a full-blown Commie.

>High-average "Midwit" who believes himself to be in the 130-140 range detected

Prove scientifically that pure races exist.
Go on, I'll wait.

>using the term 'midwit' unironically

Just because you're not pure, it does not mean others aren't, Mahmoud

Open a medical textbook. I'll wait.

It's a pretty decent term when you don't want to type out a 2-3 sentence explanation of what a midwit is.

So you can't prove it, thought as much.
You know why? Because there is no such thing.

Hahaha faggot. Bow to me.

Irish weren't even considered whites until recently, you were enslaved in America the same way niggers were. The concept of white race is literally a social construct, new groups are added to the umbrella term of white all the time. The founding fathers even believed that non anglo's were non-white and wanted to exclude Germans from America, look it up.

Hahaha nigger just open a medical textbook!

Mussolini was a civic fascist. The most popular fascist song Faccetta Nera ("Little Black Face") is about how Italian soldiers during their invasion to Ethiopia found a beautiful black girl and brought her to Rome.

The term "white" being a social construct doesn't really disprove that biological races exist, faggot.

...

>muh social construct
Trust a leaf to shit up a thread with Marxist horseshit. The day of the rake cannot come soon enough.

The Fascists weren't anywhere near as concerned with race as the Nazis. The intellectual tradition they were mainly influenced by were the syndicalists (basically commies) and the italian elitists like Mosca, Pareto, Michels, who were quasiliberals that really didnt care about race (Mosca opens his great work, "The Ruling Class", with an extended argument against racial political theories). The Fascists were all about nation, which they conceived of as a kind of spiritual thing, and they were heavily influenced by Idealism and anti-Scientism, so a biological explanation of human behaviour never appealed to them.

This is not to say that they thought everyone was the same or that Africans were as intelligent as Europeans. They just didn't see these things as being of prime relevance. They knew human beings had a built in in-group/out-group faculty and that individualism was a dead end for that reason, but many of them initially thought the correct "collective" identity was class. Eventually they moved on to "Nation", which they saw had a powerful pull after the events of WWI (whereas commies remained mostly in denial).

Should also not, German National Socialism was very focused on Aryans, not necessarily Europeans as a whole. Meds are not really like Nords, we all are aware of this, and so Nordic supremacy wasn't really going to attract Meds. My origins are Med myself so I get it, I respect the hell out of Northwest Europeans but I can tell we're not really working in the same frame. Also Jewish influence was nowhere near as prevalent in Italy so antisemitism wasn't as widespread.

Check out A. James Gregor's Mussolini's Intellectuals if you want to learn more about Fascism, its pretty good though he's a bit hard on Evola

Can’t argue with those quads

Hey man at least he recognized that Fascism is centrist, thats pretty good!

It was written by soldiers. The government at some point censored it for being "too leftwing"

They wanted empire in Africa. In fairness to them they wanted it without enslaving or exterminating the locals which is nice. The locals would have been exploited though. Convincing Italians that race doesn't exist was part of that plan.

Pretending race doesn't exist is only to exploit blacks and browns. How can they organise and form their own hierarchies and collectives if theit race doesnt exist??

That he was talking about the differences between the races of europe.

Why are you on Sup Forums?

Probably a leather freak

Um, because i'm a bisexual racist

This is why musso and the greasers changed sides TWICE during WW2

A look into their mental philosophy.

Hitler:
>Yo hold the fort we goin east to moscovie fool
Mussolini:
>Sure thing Addie!
>Runs off into Africa to persue his own lacking ego from being overshadowed

Rommel:
>I have burn ruin my white complexion to chase spaghetti niggers..
Churchill:
>ima beat the puss up
Hitler:
>good thing my bro musso holdin it down cause were over extended with troops on the east

This. Italians are black just like most nigger alt right

Thats why the Jews didnt give a fuck about Musso

Mussolini and Mosley were far more racially progressive than most of their contemporaries.

"Pure" races don't exist but that doesnt mean the concept of race isnt valid. Genetics varies clinally, so the boundaries are always going to be fuzzy. But clinal variation implies variation. I have no interest in racial purity spirally bullshit but ignoring the reality of race is an even bigger mistake

The guy you're responding too isn't really wrong about Mussolini, he was more drawn to philosophical Idealism than science, and he did want Italy to become an Empire. In Fascist parlance, a Nation is a state based on a single coherent "people", whereas an Empire is by definition multicultural as one dominant people becomes leader of many. The goal was for Italy, then moribund for centuries, to become a powerful Nation, and eventually lead an Empire that challenged the Anglo-Americans. It seems silly in retrospect because we know Italy never reached the level of military prowess the Germans, Brits, or Americans did, but that was the intention anyways.

he means all you faggots got mixed in BC era so there is no such thing as racial purity.

fucking krauts I swear...

He also sucked loads of Jew cock up until he switched to sucking Hitler cock

A race is a probability cloud.

Musso was a civnat failure who accomplished little to nothing in his time, and invaded brother countries for no reason

good on him for supporting Hitler though

of course plebeian pale niggers here cannot put a quote in his historical context...
maybe he was simply referring to the German autism of dividing every square meter of Europe into 10 different "races"

They did want an Empire, this is true, but the Empire was going to be like the Euro empires of the 19th century not like the American emprie of the 20th. The Italians would be the leading "Nation" and the africans would be clearly subordinate. They didn't rule out the possibility that Negros could one day become as advanced as Europeans, which to be fair they shouldn't have ruled out because they didn't know as much as we do now, but I'm not sure any of them thought it was particularly likely.

When, long ago, the gods created Earth

In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.

The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;

Yet were they too remote from humankind.

To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,

Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.

A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,

Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

Thats a good way of thinking about it

fuck wrong thread

He's speaking about european races.
You can't draw the line between slavs and germans for example, all are mixed to some degree.

So feudalism basically.
>you are free to work the lands and hand it all over to us. Cheers my negro.

Is Laurence Fishburne white though?

Italy was in a clearly inferior position to the Anglo empire and they needed to industrialize fast, they couldn't alienate the Anglos when still in a position of weakness. Later it became clear Germany was MILES ahead of them, so Mussolini had to accept a secondary position. He never really believed in the liberalism of the brits/jews or in the racialism of the nazis, he was a syndicalist at heart

He is essentially right and I doubt most people here, who aren't mutts, would agree to that.
It is stupid to define a nation in Europe through race, that simply doesn't work.

> Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today
I don't know what he means by that, there are two possible interpretations.
The first being "race doesn't exist because we all share some biology LMAO", which is obviously retarded.
The other being that "the white race" isn't homogeneous, Italians and Germans are different, just as the Irish and the Spanish are different.

>National pride has no need of the delirium of race
This is obviously true in Europe, saying that "Germany should be a country for whites", is plain retarded, Germany should be a country for Germans, it just so happens to be that Germans (not the "new" ones) are white.

>What did he mean by this Sup Forums?
To make it short, he is a nationalist, he cares about ethnicity, not race.

wtf I love Mussolini now

Nobody cares that you're racist, but hell is forever so you better leave now.

He was pissy because uncle Adolf never treat him as an equal and always thought of meds as lessers.

Feudalism is not "hand over everything to us", its "hand over a portion of it to us in exchange for us being the military defense+giving you access to capital resources like Water Mills which a single peasant never could afford alone". Eventually this "exchange" became a fiction as the power of the lords grew and their actual duty to their peasants decreased, which precipitated feudalism's decline.

However, the Italians would 100% have exploited the Africans as much as they could, I'm just autistic about using terms correctly

I thoight they utilized the biology of human behavior and sought to utilize it by creating a heirarchical society that categorized every class as a body part of the whole organic state? Not to mention the rejection of classical liberalisms extreme individualism by saying that humans are most free when they operate within their role and aid their nation. Facism to me felt like it was one of the more grounded ideologies when it came to human variation, but maybe fell short of how accurare capitalisms view on human motivation is.

...

So race as a subset of ethnicity rather than the other way round? Makes sense enough I guess.

That was part of the justification they gave for why they switched levels of analysis from "class" to "nation"; they realized class struggle meant a permanent conflict within the nation itself, and that "classes" did not actually lead nations, "elites" did. So they took the general anticapitalist rhetoric of the time and substituted nation for class (which I think is an improvement). However we should probably point out that these explanations may have been formulated "after the fact", so to speak. You can't underestimate the effect of WWI on the Fascists, they intuited that the massive nationalist outburst was a fundamental energy that overruled the class analysis they had been using. Its not so much that they figured out that nation was more primal, history revealed it to them and they were in tune enough to notice. They still believed that "in a different time" perhaps the class could serve as a good vehicle for peoples collective identity (or some other unit aside from class or nation, like a band or polis)

The problem I have with them isn't their view of race which struck a decent middle ground, its that they really didn't understand economics that well. If we could reconcile Austrian economics with Fascism then we'd really be onto something

He was probably into bleaching north african hotties like pic related. its normal practice here.

That quote is out of context.

It could be fake, I don't know if Ludwig is reliable, but in any case it lines up with what Mussolini believed

Do you ever heard about the Sun, the tanning process of the skin, the Mediterranean?

am I wrong or doesnt he kind of look like molymeme

shadilay oldfag ur experienced

Found the Italian. I hope you're *feeling* white enough.

>"Pure" races don't exist but that doesnt mean the concept of race isnt valid.
I agree.

purely caucasoid or purely european. If you go by the first you have to include the arabs. Go by the second and you have to toss italy, moortugal, bottom of spain, and most of the slav countries.

what has genetics to do with race? serious question
humans are the only case where "race" has been brought up into a genetics environment
you don't ask for a DNA test when you want to buy a "Labrador", neither you should need it for humans to talk about "Caucasians"

I always found a level agreement with tbeir stance on elitism, there clearly is human varianve that impacts ones ability to partake in society, and in accepting that, they can make accomodations for those who operate for those who are not sure for sucess. Your Austrian-Facism seems like a promising new look into it, its a shame so many are opposed to revisiting even the thought. Allies not only managed to stamp it out, but stomp out valid critiques of the global capitalist system. Now were finally beginning to see the pitfalls of a globalized neoliberal world. Hence the rise in radical and extreme groups

Because we changed for evolutionary purposes making us different..

google.com/amp/www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4421594

Race categories are as common-sense as dog breeds, you know a labrador is not a pit bull, you know a European is not an African. The reason genetics has to be discussed is because while nobody doubts that the behavioural profile of a pit bull isnt the same as a labrador, suggesting that Europeans and Africans might be differ in a similar way is taboo, and this political stance was backed up by the claim that genetically, all human populations were more or less the same and it was impossible for significant differences to have turned up in terms of our intelligence/personalities.

The claim of genetic uniformity was wrong, and commonsense race categories have mostly been vindicated, but because of the political climate we still can't openly admit that

Its not similar to dog breeds at all. Dogs occured through forced breeding. Races happened over thousands of years of sepetation adapting to completely different enviromemts.

Someone post the ”Italian activists” img and btfo this mohamud.

Do I have to post this every time we have this thread?
Read and be educated.

counter-currents.com/2015/07/mussolini-and-racism/

that's utterly irrelevant as far as taxonomy goes, direct selection is just a faster artificial version of what nature does

The truth was hit upon by the italian elitists, Michels wrote about the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" and Mosca noted that every society of sufficient complexity has a "political class" that rules. Liberalism has a strange relationship to elitism, on the one hand it likes to fight for the perceived underdogs against oppression, but on the other its been the most popular belief system of the ruling class of the United States for a long time (in different variations, admittedly, the liberalism of the gilded age is not the liberalism of today). If you talk to liberals atm its not uncommon for them to be hostile towards mass democracy ("Populism") and very pro-"Experts" (aka credentialed Elites). In a sense theyre right, the "elite" they've chosen is just a fucking awful one for the most part.

This is the main problem with all forms of syndicalism and marxism. The working class is not suited to control a mass capitalist economy. They aren't rulers, leaders, or even managers. This doesn't make them "worse", it doesnt you have to think of them as worth less morally, but it does mean you shouldn't expect fish to climb trees. At the time when they were ascendant, many syndicalists and marxists thought about how the intellectual class could raise up the level of intelligence and awareness of the workers so they could become suited to rule (they of course could not help but notice that the workers in state they found them werent yet ready). This is part of what they mean by "emancipation". Unfortunately we now know that intelligence is in fact VERY HARD to increase. It is comparable to height in this regard. If the average iq of the workers was 90 (just to take a number) and the average of the marxist intellectuals was 120, then there just was no way the workers would ever "catch up" to the intellectual vanguard.

Yes, but you could argue that selective breeding took place but by the environment choosing certain alleles and phenotypes in that way. The overall point is the same, outside forces altered the phenotype and genotypes of certain populations of a homosapiens, leading to different subspecies or races, like with canis familiaris.

We should keep in mind that breed is artificial selection and race isn't, but my point is just that the reason we invoke genetics when discussing one and not the other is because one is considered controversial and the other isn't. if suddenly tomorrow a bunch of dog-breed-deniers showed up we would have recourse to genetics to be able to show them theyre mistaken. Thats the situation with race, we just don't feel comfortable doing it and the science isn't 100% settled so debate persists. However you can bet the chinese will not give a flying fuck about our squeemishness once the specific genes for intelligence and behaviour are determined

>forced breeding.
no such thing. we are an environmental stressor upon the dogs
rats didnt "breed" humans to be dogbreeders of rat terriers

>purely european
>tossing Italy
>not knowing that indoeuropeans colonized every fucking part of europe
The absolute state of american education

Not to mention thst the intellectual class often mates with the other members of that class, and creating smart young while workers still court amongst their class. Unfortunately youll never be able to bring everyone up to the same level, though competition can help individuals achieve their own best potential.

uhm sweetie haven't you watched True Romance? :)

he was a civic cuck

>Nothing will ever make me believe
Except for your people of the shekel, eh, Saul?
SAGE

The only way to bring everyone up to the same level would be if our gene editing powers get very, very good. Its possible but I suspect once we have that power it'd lead to drastic, unpredictable changes, theres no reason to think the result will be us implementing perfect equality. Its also just something in the nature of organizations, even if we were all exactly the same there's no reason a priori to think a group of "equals" will beat a group hierarchically organized.

everyone could become a Roman, it was the same in Mussolini's Italy.

If you were a slav and spoke slovenian you got beat up, but if you speak italian you are welcome.

He was less crazy then you guys, if Italy didn't enter ww2, libiya would be a nice place, he was right and hitler was am idiot for declaring war on the entire world
