Closet Fascists at La Chataigneraie and at Large

Fascists at la Chataigneraie? The international school that supposedly teaches freedom, tolerance and peace? Well its true. There are two main types of fascists in the world: those who accept their own views and those who don’t, posing for conservatives, capitalists, and most often anti-communists. Most often these are the ones you will find most viciously attacking communism, usually resorting to bringing Stalin into the argument and equating it to fascism, these are the most insidious types of fascists. Most often they will not admit to themselves they are fascists. They will often reject any connection to fascism, yet when we examine the typical mentality of one of these “closet fascists”, we see that they’re way of thinking is very much geared in the same way as that of a typical fascist or Neo-Nazi. We see that most often this person will glorify weapons and militarism, cultivating a real love for everything military (guns, apparel, and lingo). This might be accompanied by, or preceded by, a passion for videogames that themselves glorify militarism of this nature. Often they will support or at least attempt to defend Nazi ideals, though never presented as such.

These include ideas such as nationalism and this idea that certain people are somehow inferior and should be shot (these ‘untermenschen’ will include communists, homosexuals and mentally handicapped people). Often they will say that Hitler was ‘not so bad’, and ‘not all wrong’. Evidence of this kind of thinking was found some weeks ago in the Art Dept bathrooms. “Fuck Communism” and “long live the National Elitists”. National Elitists?!? Neo Nazis under a more acceptable and less politically charged package.

Now do not misunderstand me: these traits are in no way indicative of being a fascist. However it is this kind of person who will stand by silently when Neo-Nazis walk in, who will think ‘hey it should be pretty neat to be in their number’, who will join in to feel a sense of belonging to an organised, strong, militaristic movement. It is my personal belief that many people have forgotten the bad of fascism and Nazism, mostly under their silent insidious whispering. It is these silent unwitting agents of fascism that are most dangerous to the cause of freedom, by giving fascist ideas a sensible and positive spin.

Fascism: Extremist nationalistic ideology. They believe that the government should be in charge of every aspect of civilian life. They believe society should more like the military. They are diametrically opposed from an ideological standpoint, to Communism-anarchism. They do not shy away from violent means to enforce their views. May resort to a “that’s gay” or similar argument when outwitted
