How I think of Fascism and Nationalism

submitted by Paradoxical003 to Philosophy 2.8 yearsAug 4, 2021 18:15:46 ago (+3/-0)     (Philosophy)*

Fascism is a political ideology that holds that government policies should serve the interests of their people before all else.

Nationalism is where the interests of a specific tribe of people within the state is the focus of government policies, instead of everyone.

Although perhaps I'm getting it wrong, and fascism is the focus on the state, while nationalism is the focus on the people.

Capitalism is the political philosophy that prioritizes individual ownership of person, property, and enterprise.

Libertarianism is the philosophy that focuses on maximizing liberty.

Socialism is the philosophy that all property and enterprise should be owned by the state.

Communism is the idea that all property should be free of ownership.

When the above four are combined in some way with nationalism or fascism, the way in which this marriage occurs is that the aspects which deal with those outside the state or those outside the preferred tribe within the state, are all overwritten by the nationalist or fascist policies, but the policies that deal exclusively with the people of the state or of the state's preferred tribe are governed by the socialist, communist, capitalist, or libertarian policies.

For example, the approaches to trade under national capitalism, foreign trade would be handled by nationalist policies, as they indeed the involvement with those who are not the preferred tribe of the nation, but domestic trade between its preferred tribe of people would be governed by the policies of capitalism instead.

Capitalism is not a philosophy. Capitalism is what happens when there is no philosophy.

Wouldn't that be isolationism? Or separatism? Though I think separatism is something that applies to a specific tribe within a society that wishes to break off and form their own politicallu distinct country.
