fascism/neo-fascism

[A-S M.]

what's the difference if there is any between these two?

[VukBZ2005]

Fascism is a system in which state ownership and private ownership is mixed with an authoritarian system that physically oppresses people that are opposed to it. It usually comes about as a last resort for the Capitalist class of a particular country to prevent working class revolution or as a way to destroy any working class revolutionary tendencies that may exist in any Capitalist society, that is, in the event that a working class revolution has failed. Neo-Fascism is just an updated and present version of Fascism.

No.

The term neo-fascism comes from the need to make a distiction between Fascists who were actual members of the historical Fascist party in Itally, and modern Fascists who support the party but were not there at the time.

In that case, could we be called neo- Marxists, Leninists, Hoxhaists ect., since we support one (or more) of those ideologies, but were not part of the historic movements? Like for example, could a todays Leninist be called a neo-Leninist?

I did hear the term "neo-Marxist" once, but it came from an unreliable source, so Im not sure if its something that is actualy in use.

Neo-Marxism generally refers to a particular type of Marxism that arose post 1968, more focussed on global struggles and autonomy. It's a catch-all term, so it's not easy to define- probably the best way to look at it is to read some neo-Marxist stuff, Like Toni Negri.


Neo-fascism is a more general term for, as other have said, any fascist after the WWII period, although in many parts of the world they have tended to have even cruder (if it's possible!) politics than the original fascists- often focusing solely on the race issue. But obviously that doesn't apply everywhere.

Fascism or Neo-Fascism are based on the same ideology, just different interpretations of the outline. Read the Doctorine of Fascism if you want to know more about it.
