non-existent

Let's start from the belief that the truth is in everything, as Hegel teaches, therefore also in its necessary internal contradictions.
Anti-fascism, as well as neo-fascism, ignores all of this, transforming fascism into an archetype that is what others have decided for him. A single evaluation is necessary, certainly not for a rehabilitation intention, but only to have an extra weapon for a correct interpretation, not from the past, but of the present that, this being the case, he weighs much more because he is drugged.
For this reason, the meaning of the term fascism as evoked by anti-fascists is particularly illuminating.
Its use is independent of historical evaluation, as well as from a political or philosophical one, its use is not even that of a simple denigrating adjective, but it is an investment to always guarantee the right to existence and reason. It even ignores space-time, even from a Manichean perspective, as if fascism, as Absolute Evil, had always existed. A cesspool in any case to be contrasted with one's own self-referentiality. In his presence, everything seems to vanish, from colonialism, to the slave trade, to the extermination of the American Indians, to the genocide of Tasmanians, even exploitation seems so bearable in the face of fascism, Ricardo's "bronze law of wages" ends up coinciding with a platform for contractual renewal.
Anti-fascism becomes the good dress that gives super powers, a means to become a champion. Already out of class, anti-fascism is so powerful that not only Giovanni Gentile is disappearing, but also Karl Marx and Antonio Gramsci.
The gravity of such a liturgical investiture lies entirely in the inauthenticity of anti-fascism. Read More
