  • The end goal of fascism, per Mussolini:

    “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

    Fascism innately rejects the concept of the separation of powers and human rights alike.

    If you view the traditional three pillars of heirarchy and power in a capitalist society as the state, the corporations, and the church, the absorbtion of both corporate and church power is simply the end goal. You might also ask “couldn’t the corporate powers or churches effectively do the same thing by absorbing the others instead?”

    Funnily enough, Hirohito and Japan had already effectively absorbed that pillar of power with State Shinto and the literal deification of the imperial line.


  • There’s a really good mod for Crusader Kings 2 where you play in a post-apocalypse America and one of the religion groups is Americanism, with the Founding Fathers as gods.

    It’s supposed to be a commentary on the concept of the American civil religion but it’s mostly just awesome because NYC is still a Republic that follows one of the branches, and one of the starting families that rules Gotham is the Waynes :)

    Reestablishing America as Batman wasn’t quite what I expected from a CK2 mod but it was the best possible way to say goodbye to the system before CK3 dropped.
