Because I don’t want to limit responses, I’m gonna leave this one kind of open and without context. Depending on responses, I may add more context to this post later.
Edit: I’m not asking “is monarchism fascism?”, I’m asking if monarchism is proto-fascism.
Edit 2: well, some people understood the question, and others did not. Thanks to all of you for your feedback.
I’m asking about Proto-fascism, not fascism for comparison. Do you have any thoughts on that?
His thoughts seem to be that they share almost no characteristics, no philosophical underpinnings, and that there seems to be no direct path from the one to the other.
What do you think a discussing of “proto-X” is going to look like, if not comparing it to other things looking for similarities and possible links?
