Weberian/Totalitarian - Fascism

WEBER
1. Weberians blame the pre-industrial, or feudal, ruling class for the cause of fascism.
-landowners of Eastern Germany
-landowners of the Italian Po Valley
-Latifundists of Southern Spain
-the Japanese military caste

2. "These countries hadn't experienced a genuine bourgeois and liberal-democratic revolution in the 19th century."

3. "German and Italian elites led their countries to war in 1913 in the hope that patriotic fervor would permit them to crush their domestic enemies"


TOTALITARIAN
1. Invented by Italian Fascists to encapsulate their drive to nationalize the Italian masses. To incorporate them within a hierarchical, mobilized, militarized community serving the needs of Italy.
2. Had its day in the 50s and 60s
3. Your life is dictated by divine plan

*Modernization causes the breakdown of religious certainties, so they create substitute religions such as communism or fascism. ( or capitalism or anarchism or a jock clique, a homosexual club, Bantu tribe.)

4. In the 1970s, the concept of totalitarianism fell out of use.
(European-centered bullshit. Has anybody ever been to Asia? You reckon it's just a culture if it happens elsewhere besides Europe and Americas? This is not some silly ass culture. It's a serious problem.)
