Friedrich Hegel: The Ontology of Fascism
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a German metaphysician largely claimed by the political left - Marxists, materialists, anti-fascists - was the true founder of fascism, in the orthodox sense.
His writings, brought to life with his pen, advocate that of the immaterial, of idealism, as a means of determinism existence, the conditions of the real and the unreal. As a natural consequence of this, he developed a spiritual admiration for the abstraction known as the absolute state, for national corporatism, and for a romantic nationalism.
Many traditionalists, nationalists, and fascists will find interest in his literature, written from an idealist and anti-liberal perspective. He served as a great influence on another fascist philosopher, Giovanni Gentile of Italy, where his ideas have become far more pronounced through his writing.
Family, Church, nation, and state: these are the corporative bodies from which we draw our strength from!
