Due to another user’s request, I have decided to compile threads on fascism, profascism, Japanese Imperialism, & neofascism here for your convenience. This compilation is, of course, incomplete, & its structure is subject to eventual change, but I hope that it suffices.

Origins

Economics

Culture

Foreign policy

Atrocities

Profascism

Legacy

Neofascism


Feel free to suggest any resources that you have in mind or how I could structure this thread better. Lastly, if you have any questions on fascism, profascism, parafascism (e.g. Japanese Imperialism), protofascism, or neofascism, you are welcome to ask me here or in private.

    I don’t doubt it but elucidating their role in the imperialist bloc is helpful. Just like class structure the demarcations are not always clear cut and assessing reality will help refine my mental model of imperialism. As another example, South Korea is also an American vassal state and a nexus for American aggression against DPRK. Could it be classified as imperialism especially considering the history of the barbaric Japanese colonisation, the subsequent liberation followed by the reinstatement of the colonial and comprador actors by the invading Americans? I don’t know tbh but it is worth exploring.

      of course; I’m just wondering whether it makes sense to call countries imperialist if they don’t engage in imperialism independently (in which case more or less all of Europe would be imperialist)
