Fascism is actually funny. The reason for this is that the fascist (and his leader) tells it how it is (for him, anyway). This is the essence of comedy, particularly observational humour. Hitler and Mussolini were essentially stand-up comedians.
This element, the fascist as carnival barker or entertainer, was recognised by Brecht and Adorno (and others). Fascism’s appeal partly lies in its entertainment value, but we miss this by taking it too seriously.
