Actual Idealism: The Philosophy of Fascism

(aka - method of Absolute Immanence)
(aka - Totalitarian Positivism)
(aka - An 'Ethical' State)
Government (State) as Demiurgos (from Google AI)
"Demiurge" (or Demiurgos) is a term for a divine, craftsman-like creator figure, most famously from ancient Greek philosophy and various schools of Gnosticism, but also a character in modern fiction, like the DC Comics universe. The figure is responsible for fashioning the physical universe, though interpretations of its nature and motivations differ significantly between traditions. 
Philosophical and religious interpretations
  • Platonism and Neoplatonism: 
    In these philosophies, the Demiurge is an artisan figure who crafts the physical world out of pre-existing, imperfect materials, based on an ideal, eternal form. 
  • Gnostic texts present a more complex view. 
    • Many Gnostic sects portray the Demiurge as a lesser, vain, and ignorant creator who mistakenly believes himself to be the supreme deity. 
    • In this view, the material world is a flawed creation, a "spiritual prison," created against the will of the true, supreme God. 
    • Other Gnostics, such as the Valentinians, see the Demiurge as having good intentions but being ignorant of the higher, true God. 
Fictional interpretations
  • Michael Demiurgos (DC Comics): 
    This is a powerful archangel figure who is the embodiment of God's power. He is the brother of Lucifer Morningstar and, alongside him, helped create the DC Omniverse. Unlike Lucifer, Michael is depicted as being loyal to God and creation. 
  • Video game: 
    "Demiurgos" is the title of an upcoming strategy game where players take on the role of a deity to shape a world and outmaneuver other gods, notes Steam and Games Press. 
Etymology
  • The word "demiurgos" comes from the ancient Greek term Dēmiourgós (Δημιουργός). 
  • It literally means "craftsman" or "public worker" and was originally used for skilled artisans, doctors, and soothsayers, notes Fandom and Study.com.

Funny how facism killed 6 million Jews and destroyed much of the European infrastructure, cost nearly 500,000 American souls to defeat it, and certain idiots are desirous of shoving it down American's throats in the present day under a demented moronic "man" without so much as an once of compassion or decency in his fat orange body. Oh, and Mossolini, who only made the trains run on time was ultimately killed by his own subjects.

You're as nuts as they were. Maybe even crazier.

You didn't watch the video again. National Socialists killed 6 million Jews. Mussolini's "fascists" protected the Jews. The Fascist Party was full of Jews.

ps - Fascism represents an absolute democracy. Are you anti-democracy?

Les Carpenter said...

No it does not
