Fascism vs. Nazism

5 Similarities
1. Both believe that only an elite group of people such as citizens and Italian political leaders should decide the laws and government. Nazi party says, "The right to choose the government and determine the laws of the State shall belong only to citizens." Italy said, "Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society". They both have an elite group of people ruling over the rest of the people.
2. Both also will put down an opposition within the State. Italy said, "The necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement of Italy". Germany said, "No individual shall do any work that offends against the interest of the community to the benefit of all." Both countries want their citizens to benefit their country and will put down those who oppose it.
3. Italy said, "twentieth century, and would oppose it by recalling the outworn ideology of the nineteenth century". Germany in the same way said, "We demand that Roman law, which serves a materialist ordering of the world, be replaced by German common law." Both are replacing old laws that the government feels is no longer relevant.
4. Both ideas have people who have sacrificed themselves for it and will in the future do the same, "demonstrated by those who have suffered and died for it." That is what Italy said explaining the people who have supported it and died for it. Germany stated, "if necessary at the sacrifice of their own lives". Both believe that their cause is good enough to die for.
5. Both lastly are that everything should be for the betterment of the state. People should do what is the best for the common good not the individual good. Also, whatever is the best for the state.
Questions
1.What ideology do you believe would more appeal to adolescents? Why? (State examples)
-I believe that Nazi would be more appealing to adolescents. The Nazi party said that they would provide education and protection for all the people. Also, they have stated that health and birthrates are up since they have been in power. Also, it would create a strong sense of nationalism within the adolescences.
2.Looking at the Fascist ideal, what you find would be the hardest part of getting the populations acceptance? Explain.
-The most difficult part would be as a government to get the people's faith again. The old government lost the people's faith when they did not get any land in the Paris Peace conference. The new fascism needs to distinguish and diversify themselves from the old government which the people no long trust.
3.Looking at the Nazi ideal, what you find would be the hardest part of getting the populations acceptance? Explain.
-Getting everyone's trust and support would probably be the hardest part. Nazi's are taking many businesses away from people so they still need to gain support. they did this through blame of many groups to gain the people's support. Also, they are taking away from the individuality of the people which could cause some problems as well.
