Majorian posted:Yeah, I think Zizek's point is that Nazi Germany was unusual even among fascist regimes historically in that it was more geopolitically revisionist than the other regimes he named. There wasn't just a drive to build an empire; there was also the "payback for Versailles" fervor helping to fuel it. I don't think Zizek made that point particularly well, but there is truth to it. In what way was fascist Italy less geopolitically revisionist than nazi Germany? Mussolini came to power in part because of Italy's short shrift at Versailles. He clearly spoke about ending British control of Gibraltar and the Suez, as well as empire building in the Horn.

Zizek started writing for Project Syndicate in 2022 basically exclusively about U/R War and from what I can tell is really pissed off at perceived pro-Russian sentiment among the left, basically that quote from a few pages ago also an article about wartime orgies in Ukraine becuase why not

It doesn't seem to me like Mussolini at least initially had any illusions about Italy becoming the dominant power in Europe. His goal, as others have said here, was for Italy to become a major imperial power like the rest of the Western European nations. I admit I could be completely wrong on that take; my knowledge of Mussolini's fascism isn't the most complete. But when I say that Hitler was geopolitically revisionist, I'm referring to the fact that he didn't just want Germany to be a great power within the existing international order; he wanted to completely upend the international order and dominate the world. Thousand Year Reich and all that.

Yeah - there's a grain of truth in the assertion some leftists make that the nazis are uniquely reviled for invading white people, but being too invested in this makes you lose sight of the fact that destroying France and Russia (in spite of the latter's flexible whiteness) makes you more frightening to other great powers than destroying Ethiopia, for material and balance of power reasons that go beyond racism.

Arguably Italian and German fascism came from very much the same place, but it is simply that Italy never materially had the resources to make it to the “big leagues.” Also, with almost all Italians in Europe already being part of Italy, it simply didn’t have the same pull.

Yeah, the ideological goals always tail the material conditions. Francoist Spain, Salazarist Portugal, (arguably) Peronist Argentina, etc, weren't revisionist regimes on a geopolitical level because let's face it, they never had the power to revise the international order in which they existed. They probably would have been revisionist if they had the power to upend things quite a bit more.

I'm going to apologies again, since we're still on this topic. I did mean it the first time, but I didn't try to make it sound more sincere since I didn't realize how much I've hurt you. But from my point of view my this still doesn't explain much to me. Wilhelm was also revisionist then. He wanted a colonial empire for germany like other european empires, he said that he didn't want to upset the existing world order but those were only words. Germany wanting colonial empire would naturally threaten the British and the existing world order at the time, and it was one of the reasons that World War 1 happened the way it did. I do agree that the thousand year reich is more extreme than that.

I also think that throwing the British out of Gibraltar and Suez would have had a massive effect on the international order of the 30s, especially if followed through by turning the Med into an Italian stronghold. Getting Franco to take Gibraltar and the Egyptians to nationalize the canal are far more realistic goals than Germany ruling an empire stretching to the Urals and arguably would have more impact on geopolitics.

Thank you, I really appreciate it, and I'm glad you still want to post here. You contribute a lot to this thread. quote:But from my point of view my this still doesn't explain much to me.

Germany wanting colonial empire would naturally threaten the British and the existing world order at the time, and it was one of the reasons that World War 1 happened the way it did. I actually do think Wilhelm II was a revisionist leader. As you yourself have said here, one of his big aspirations was to revise the international order and make Germany the dominant power in Europe, as opposed to just "first among equals," which is closer to what Bismarck had sought. That's part of the reason why the two of them butted heads and why Bismarck finally got put out to pasture. Wilhelmine Germany probably shouldn't be described as "fascist," but there are certainly a lot of roots of German fascism to be found there. Weka posted:I don't think Germany ever really had that power either. True, but that's a little more obvious in retrospect, at least IMO. quote:I also think that throwing the British out of Gibraltar and Suez would have had a massive effect on the international order of the 30s, especially if followed through by turning the Med into an Italian stronghold.

Possibly, but even so, those outcomes probably wouldn't have changed the existing multipolar order into a unipolar one, with Spain/Portugal/whatever at the top.

They probably would have been revisionist if they had the power to upend things quite a bit more. I would say Peron was different in that he largely struggled with the existing domestic order in Argentina. Also, you could say while Portugal couldn’t expand his empire, Portuguese society was thrown into a comparable struggle to retain what it happen complete with mobilization. I don’t think the Italians really had a shot against the British and eventually British naval power would tell. The Italians didn’t last long on their own in North Africa.

Majorian posted:True, but that's a little more obvious in retrospect, at least IMO. There's hundreds of years of Anglo history of not allowing someone to dominate the continent, so I guess the only thing that would have made it doubtful is whether America would continue that tradition. quote:Possibly, but even so, those outcomes probably wouldn't have changed the existing multipolar order into a unipolar one, with Spain/Portugal/whatever at the top. Oh yeah I'm not saying that, but WW2 was never going to result in a unipolar world. I'm just saying Italy wanted to, and maybe could have with a few things going different, significantly changed the then world order. Anyway, I'm just glad we have peace in the war thread.
