    Fascism really was the ideology of small minds and the envious. The conscious obsession with expanding Italy and Germany came to nothing. Fascists were definite “try hards”. It was the people who didn’t “try” (i.e. English & Portugese) who expanded, and expanded sensibly.

        This is because genuine expansion comes through a desire to explore and trade, not a crude desire to dominate. Even d’Annunzio knew this, he said he took control by not seeking to control—i.e. he was a Taoist.

        I'm not particularly a fan of Great Man Theory. I feel like the emergence of Fascism in those times and places was structural, and the people at the helm of those hierarchies were epiphenomenal to underlying forces responsible.https://twitter.com/SeloSlav/status/1014100692288454656 …

        "Agent-based models for the emergence and evolution of Fascism and Authoritarian Communism." Has no scholar considered this seriously? I'd be interested to see if there is a role for NK fitness landscapes, receiver-based optimization or catastrophe theory here.

        Fascist movements were part of a very broad range of movements started as a reaction to modernity. Most of them, with the exception of Italy and Germany, were not expansionist as far as I know. Franco refused to join the war. Mosley was pro peaceful cooperation between nations.

        I'm not defending them, nor I am attacking them. I can criticize preWWII socialists for supporting revolutionary socialism and later USSR without demonizing all socialists.

        This is historically upside down though, isn't it? Fascism came to Italy and Germany long after British and especially Portuguese imperial expansion had reached its zenith. Partly out of envy, yes, but in a very different world.

        I agree with your analysis but exploration as the driving force of expansion was no longer an option for early 20th century axis powers. Except to the degree they held Russia to be like Africa. And the threat of communism was unknown to the C19th Brits.

        Sartre assumes the individual has a "space of freedom" in virtue of what -- the article mentions "neuroscience", but in any case it's presumed to be solely the result of "being an agent". But identities don't hang loosely in the air, nor are they personal inventions.

        Agency, as we understand it about ourselves and others, is delineated and made to make sense, within and due to a historical, linguistic, political community.

        The same goes for "identities". The article has many examples of suddenly "taking on a new identity". But in the real world, this is impossible. I cannot tomorrow become a fireman, or a WW2 infantry, or a bird. Only change through (communally constituted/recognised) action.

        I think that’s a harsh reading. I’ve personally seen strong personal transformation incited by sudden desire for change. It’s happened to me, too.

        I certainly think we should all recognise that a degree of timidity, uncertainty or even cowardice is implicated in our failure to do so. This is why people "find themselves" when they travel - the chance to self reinvent.
