That's an extremely good answer. Fascism is difficult to truly understand, especially as a student of history in the 21st century, for exactly the reasons he mentions. For more on this: I recommend the first 2-3 chapters of Paul Johnson's Modern Times, which deal with Marx, Lenin, Nietzsche and the cultural paradigm shift that brought with it fascism, and eventually caused most of the disarray in Europe from 1914-1945.I contend that fascism was a political movement unique to the early 20th century, especially in Europe, because its worldview was shaped by events and philosophical ideas from the late 19th century until the interwar period.
