1. Mussolini distinguished fascism from liberal capitalism in his 1928 autobiography: The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity. The Fascist State with its corporative conception puts men and their possibilities into productive work and interprets for them the duties they have to fulfill. (p. 280)
a. Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said:
The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property. (Barkai, "Nazi Economics: Ideology, Theory, and Policy," Trans. Ruth Hadass-Vashitz, pp. 2627)
So, for the fascist, and the national socialist, individuals must give up any right to rebel against the collective.
So....once a government is in place, it is the duty of the serfs....er, citizens, to accept it.
Not only do we see this view from the French Revolution onward, but, judging from the millions slaughtered, communism is pretty serious about this view as well.
And to see the very opposite view, one need look no further than the Tea Party.
And the demands of the Tea Party, based on individual rights, according to Charles Kesler, is the problem that another iteration of the above philosophies, Liberalism, has with the Tea Party.
"Charles R. Kesler (born 1956) is professor of Government/Political Science at Claremont McKenna College and Claremont Graduate University. He has a Ph.D in Government from Harvard University, from which he received his AB degree in 1978." Charles R. Kesler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2. " Liberal impatience with partisanshipthat is, with people who oppose their plansarises from the fact that in contemporary liberalism, there is no publicly acknowledged right of revolution.
3. That may seem like a strange thing to say, but if one looks at some of the political theorists who were most important to modern or statist liberalismKant and Hegel in Germany, say, or Woodrow Wilson here in the United Statesthey are usually quite explicit in rejecting a right of revolution.
4. In their view, a people always has in the long run the government it deserves. So theres no right of the people to abolish, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, the prevailing form of government and substitute a better one.
In particular, there is no conceivable right to overturn contemporary liberalism itself; as liberals today are so fond of saying, there is no turning back the clock. To liberals the Tea Party appears, well, bonkers, precisely because it recalls the American Revolution, and in doing so implies that it might not be such a bad thing to have another revolutionor at least a second installment of the originalin order to roll back the bad government that is damaging both the safety and happiness of the American people.
a. What is it, exactly, that the Tea Party means by limited government? Limited to what? And limited by what?
Clearly the Tea Partys form of conservatism points back to the Constitution as the basis for restoring American government."
