Preface: Fascism is one of the least understood topics of study in human history. When asked to define fascism or national socialism most people simply cannot do so off the top of their head. Most asked will refer to definitions from academic institutions. These assert that fascism, like other “political" concepts cannot be precisely defined. Most self proclaimed experts on the subject of these things cannot even agree on a definition. The current public consensus on the nature of fascism and National Socialism is a reductive “totalitarianism, xenophobia, etc.” Actual fascists know this is a terrible definition that fails to capture its causal nature. The objective of this publication is to clearly define what fascism and National Socialism is, why it matters, and what should be done with this newfound understanding. We want this to be the framework an individual can use to understand what fascism is from the proverbial horse’s mouth. There have been many attempts to do this but none have been clear enough, and many have definitely not been concise.
