On this video we talk about what it means to be a dictator while focusing on 20th century totalitarian regimes.
Complex society’s can be broken down into…
• A mother guardian ( protect the meek and weak at all costs, always play fairly )
• A father guardian ( strongest should prosper, secure ‘unalterable’ traditions )
The West’s ‘mothering’ hegemony can only achieve a sort of societal apex… when that society has reached,
a long period of perpetual opulent decadence. When it has an over abundance of resources.
There is a constant war between these two parental approaches, because each system is incompatible,
with its opposite. As they’re both wholly reliant on circumstance, as its main reason for existing.
Or at least, an ideological need for the circumstance to be dominant.
The matriarchal guardian, which is based on the familial first and foremost… then copied,
by the West’s two thousand years of ingrained cultural christian values.
Has a strong and binding hold on the zeitgeist of the West… especially since the end of WWII.
When a political decision was made to unite the world under one single ( supposedly benign or mothering ) empire.
Even socialism is deemed less horrifically inhuman than fascism, because only the later is considered potently patriarchal.
Abundance allows the mothering ethos to continue. It is regimentally guarded and protected.
Strength through weakness – is the ultimate societal status
Everything within the life of any human society – is directly relatable to the familial.
From sky cult father figures and of course absentee fathers… to the political morality of an entire empire.
It all relates, metaphorically back to that ‘peoples’ childhood. Which is why modern societies,
are obsessed with their young. It is the foundation stone of everything a human is, can and will be.
Nothing is as grotesque as your failure to recognize your own prepotence, Metatron. Your words are not authoritative.
No appreciation for your own history. Pitiful, what a shame.
It’s a shame that you still believe in the myth of WW2.
15:27 she’s just lying here. Fascist target ANYONE who disobeys the state in any capacity. Fascism IS leftist
When u see someone use the word masculinity so often, u know she is a leftard
The whole video seemed to be aimed towards defining a particular current day politician as a fascist rather than defining fascism, while also completely missing that the side she supports has done everything she’s describing and a hell of a lot more. Calling the news fake doesn’t make one a fascist, nor a supporter of fascism, when the news is clearly lying about nearly everything. Sure, they get some things right, but only because they have to just so that it never breaks the illusion for their followers. If all they did was lie and use completely fake stories, then their followers would wake up and stop following them. So sprinkle in a bit of truth here and there, and playing parts of longer clips is a part of that, and you get rabid followers who imbibe their every lie as though it were true. I can’t even talk to my brother because he fully believes the lies. He thinks that Trump is going to end his life or his family’s life or deport his wife who is the daughter of an illegal, and with her his kids. It’s really sad.
I dont get how are authoritarian regims diffenrent from monarchies?
All regimes are authoritarian.
I feel like there was a lot of over broadening of definitions in this. There was a lot of associating negative things like violence, insecurity, lack of free press, etc with fascist dictatorship but none of those things are what a fascist dictatorship is fundamentally. Theoretically you could have a democracy with all those same qualities. The thing that distinguishes fascism is extent to which the government has control over things like industry, economy, education, etc. When there is a high degree of government control it can be observed that the result is a lot of negative consequences but you can’t just say that because a government does a lot of bad things it is a fascist government. Same thing with a dictatorship. What marks a dictatorship is the extent to which one individual has power over the government. It has nothing to do with the benevolence of the leader or lack thereof.
The UN always cracks me up. The way western countries and non western countries get ‘condemned’ is beyond parody.
One rule for thee, but not for me.
This shows how twisted the subjects are becoming. She’s considered an “expert.”
Would be dictators like to say their opponents want to be dictators.
She seems like someone who bought herself some degrees in a very soft subject, and now smugly talks down to everyone as though her audience were in kindergarten. Well objectively that is what she is, so that fits. Those who don’t accept her claims will surely be written off as just too ignorant or stupid to understand, regardless of background, evidence, or the quality of the arguments, by herself and those aligned with the same politics; currently popular buzzwords would likely be used as ad hominems.
she is nuts. no one I know would agree with this stuff. name calling and labels is all they have
Francisco Franco was not a Fascist he was a traditionalist monarchist.

Funny – that’s how unions work under communism also.
“Employers and employees were in the same union, and that tells you what kind of union it was.”
No – no, it doesn’t. The fact that the only trade unions that were allowed under Italian fascism or under Soviet communism or that are allowed under Chinese communism were/are state-controlled unions, tells me what kind of union it was. Anything else is irrelevant.
This seems to indicate an ideological prejudice. It’s almost as if she were saying that private-sector employment is inherently dictatorial. I don’t know if that’s what she _meant_ to imply – but it sounds like it.
Unless you happen to own your own business (even if it’s as a family farmer) – you are going to need an employer. But employers are not inherently dictatorial (except in unionized workplaces or something). The reason for that is that it’s businesses that produce all of the means of subsistence and all of the material goods that everyone relies on.
I may be turning Marx against Marxism or similar perspectives in saying this (I think I can already identity her likely perspective by smell) – but if my construal is right, that reveals a view that Marx would have called ‘idealist’ – in a negative condemnatory sense – meaning, an ideological position that neglects all material considerations. In a free society, no one forces anyone to seek employment. But people generally speaking have to seek employment, because they have to get money. They can get money from businesses that employ them not because those businesses are arbitrary dictatorships that monopolize the money supply – but because they are the producers of the goods and services that money represents. An implication that in a _free_ society businesses are inherently dictatorial if they don’t have unionized workplaces is fallacious.
At least Mussolini’s Italy didn’t go so far as to make the state the sole employer of everyone and everything, as the Soviet Union and pre-Deng China did. So far, it doesn’t sound so bad.
She’s alluded to this several times by halfway through the video – so I just have to comment on it.
In the fantasy world that she wants you to believe in – there is no possibility whatsoever that anyone in the press or the media could ever lie.
She’s pushing a propaganda line that, no matter what the circumstances – if a politician tells you that the press or the media is lying, that politician is a fascist. How could that be?! The press and the media are the absolute paragons of virtue – objectivity – and integrity.
This gets to the very heart of the contradictions of the present-day Democratic Party in the United States, and their supporters. Let me see if I can break this down. They want you to believe that – 1) all corporations and businesses are oppressing you; 2) you need the organized-labor unions and the Democratic Party to protect you from them; AND, 3) – EXCEPT that the mainstream-media corporations – which ARE corporations – are the Absolute Paragons of Virtue – the Truth Itself, spoken from on high.
Who are you going to believe – The Media, or your own lying mind?
That’s because they want us to be exactly like communist China. Which is, a country with a capitalist economy (if it hadn’t converted beginning in the late 1970’s to being a country with a capitalist economy, it wouldn’t be successful); which is controlled by a one-party state; whose ruling party (the only legal political party in that country – they don’t even have to tell the public that every other political party is fascist, they just outlaw them, but maybe that will work instead); which is highly militaristic and has an aggressive national-expansion nationalistic policy against every other nation; whose ruling party is constantly telling the public that they must trust it, because it is liberating them.
The real Firehose of Falsehood is coming exactly from institutions SUCH AS the Mainstream Media and the corporations which own them (together with the Democratic Party).
When a Very Marginal Class of people run all of your education programs and media outlets you tend to find “Professors” like Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and their compound categorizing of anything outside the frameworks set by the two-party state.
“This multicultural heritage has likely influenced her perspectives and scholarship, particularly in her studies on fascism and authoritarianism.”
Also fascism is not always run by a dictator it could also be run by a one party authoritarian regime same with communism it doesn’t always have to have a dictator
18:05 Very selective and biased take from this lady… Both in Italy and Germany, there were multiple socialist/communist factions that were in either rhetorical or violent conflict with each other, so the “Fascism is anti-communism” things was more about centralizing revolutionary sentiment.
That said, Hitler was outspokenly anti-communist _and_ anti-capitalist. He viewed both equally as will and his vision was a “third way”.
This lady sounds like heavily influenced by “cathedralite” propaganda that tries to downplay the failings of socialism while painting fascism as the ever-present final boss that is never really defeated but must always be fought.
