It's almost as if all the common man wanted was to be normal. tlTo have normal relationships within his society as all his forebearers had and to be acknowledged that being normal was; well, normal. But when you tar him with ideologies he may or may not hold to, he may turn around and says, " Yes, I am a Fascist, if that's what it takes to be normal".

If ideologies exist, then it means they're supposed to exist. All that exists is nature. So if humans create ideologies, then they are no more abnormal than a bird creating a nest

people in that era had a major world wide drought, people were hungry. It does not make it correct, but factor that in when looking as a historian. Historically this work is interesting it is the first I have seen it, but I know who Waugh was. Also, in the UK the scandal of the beautiful and rich Mitford girls, there is a recent documentary on them. Shocking stuff!

How did he spell Bolshie? The transcript butchered it. I want to start using that term and I want to make sure I spell it right.

Bolshie has not gone out of use in the UK. It is unlikely that many who use it know it relates to Bolsheviks.

You slander Evelyn Waugh, who knew how to use the English language and would be appalled at anyone claiming he used the word "mischiev-ee-us". It's "mis-chuh-vuhs".

You can always rely on right-wingers to conflate the left-wing with the extreme far-right; it's all part of their mindless propaganda. It's about time people grew up - that's the real import of what Evelyn Waugh had to say - who was right-wing, but not mindlessly so, thank goodness.

The fact that some kind soul (or something that sounds a little like that) appears to have removed my comment hasn't helped this dialogue.

Your understanding of it is really superficial imo.

@@robertdavidson8028 _"But I think you're wrong if you think Naziism has anything to do with real socialism."_ National Socialism had nothing to do with Fascism though. Also there is no such thing as "real socialism". You cannot be an advocate for centralized planning and strong government controls without being a socialist. That's what made Hitler a socialist. He may have been to the right from the Bolsheviks, but he was still a socialist leftist as he believed in strong central government control. Hitler outright declared himself a socialist in Mein Kampf, just not the Marxist international or full Soviet type. He struggled with HOW to distinguish his socialism from the rest of the Marxist crowd.

@@robertdavidson8028 _"You only have to look at the wikipedia entry for National Syndicalism to understand that it only had a passing resemblance to actual socialism"_ National Syndicalism by definition is a form of socialism. Socialism is an economic system where the collective (such as workers, guilds, the government etc.) either directly own or control the buildings and tools that make goods and services like farms and factories. This can be achieved through decentralized and direct worker-ownership, or through centralized state-ownership or control of the means of production. Both Fascism and National Socialism had the latter.
