Wenger's words when he released the truth of fascism are not difficult to see - when the existing monetary system is controlling the world, making the gap between the rich and the poor more and more acute, some ideas that can change the status quo and have instant results, such as fascism Doctrine is very popular, its charm can conquer most people, as long as the person on the podium is right, all dissidents will be eradicated on this occasion, so a paradox hidden in our hearts is revealed - film The meaning is thus sublimated. So, is the movie really trying to tell us the central idea of ​​"always vigilant against the resurrection of fascism"? ! NO, absolutely not! Because, in fact, real fascism is still being performed today. This "fascism" is - money, why some superpowers advocate globalization all day long, and why they play "world police" around the world through hegemony, in fact, for energy , for profit! This is "The Last Fascism", and what the movie actually says is: We can't fight Fascism with Fascism, because everyone can be the "Originator" of Fascism, the core thing is the same - this It touches on a deeper problem - that is: the problem of how a person should live. Because, when you understand it according to a universal value, such as studying hard, earning money for a mortgage, raising a family, and being exhausted, all you are actually doing is helping "another fascist" Empire" perfect hoax, those illusions of nothingness will make you eventually become a slave of money, people will have no ideal and become a walking dead. And those very few who have the wealth can sit back and enjoy it, because the system will only concentrate all the wealth on them in the end, which is the inevitable result of capitalism going to the later stage. So in a way what makes the fascist lie so attractive is because it awakens the power of a belief! It has to do with a person's dissatisfaction with reality, but our mental model can never escape the "left-or-right" extremism model that can incite a passion that reaches its extremes It's terrorism, it's blood, it's violence! Man is a vengeful animal, and the meaning of religion is to divide groups of people, create conflict, and at the same time spread the "gospel" to people in the name of discipline under the guise of forgiveness. If this gospel is correct, then when we are in the When implementing this "correctness", have we thought about those things that we originally objected to? If the situation is uncontrollable, it can only be said that the quality of people has not reached the ideal level, as the so-called "eyes are high and hands are low" is often the case. when When the Nazis used violence to concentrate a country, or even most of Europe's gold, do those of us yearn for a "new world" really believe that they won't be as corrupt as those they brought down? ! If Israel's slaughter of the Palestinian poor is a kind of immorality, then the reverse is equally immoral. In this world without justice, once a person has resources, this resource includes both people's hearts and money, then the probability that this person will still abide by the bottom line of morality will become very small. Because even if he is not willing to be greedy, the devil will tempt him, and this temptation is the human society itself, the big environment in which we live. So, even if I believe Hitler was noble, it is undeniable that in the corruption of the late Nazis, those who defected from their beliefs were by no means a minority. Just like the "self-exploding" student in the film - pure children are only a minority after all, and most people are desperately enjoying the "utopian fantasy" in the process of being used, and they are ecstatic about it. Yes, in sports they are sincere, but once that ideal is realized! Those dogmas of cleanliness are especially vulnerable in the face of infinitely magnified power. In this era of crisis of belief, our spirits yearn for "warmth", which is found in the provisions of communism and in the provisions of fascism. But those who really manipulated it did nothing in the face of "human greed and selfishness", and all fell down. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Third Reich were for no other reason - corruption. This kind of corruption is deeply rooted in a person, and even in the entire human society, and it is almost eternal. You knock it down today, and tomorrow it's supposed to show up again. Therefore, this film is actually exposing a truth - fascism is everywhere, as long as we still have a little passion for self-cleaning, a little passion to create, it has a "justifiable reason" that can deceive people. Because, from the heart of everyone: such a lonely, divided, and unchanging fate of life is what we don’t want and have to want in our hearts. This is Rainer Wenger's worry, why is the class of anarchism boring, because it loses its purpose, and the great meaning of this purpose must be realized by "collectivism", but what is "collectivism" - it is A hotbed of fascism where the majority of those who are inspired does not let the minority "live". However, in today's world there is another kind of fascism, which invades every aspect of our lives with seemingly economic means under the guise of world trade, tempting ordinary people and even all the institutions of a country to identify with its value system. Then accept their export capital. People, food, clothing, housing, and transportation have to spend money. If you want to spend money, you have to earn money. Thus, an invisible, top-down "violent mechanism" was born. When we realize that there is inflation, that we are truly unemployed, that the money in our hands has depreciated, and that a very few of us still hold most of the world's wealth and are extremely lavish, most of us will "After realizing it", we discovered that real fascism is not far from us, and even wanders around us every minute and every second. It's a ghost! The hidden dangers of this free market sheltered by the state apparatus are all too easy to realize in a society of increasing hierarchies. Even without a "Führer", it implies the basic core of fascism, and as long as the environment matures, it will stand up as a group to advocate a big change. What about other revolutions, such as proletarian revolutions? ! Of course, there will also be new, more hypocritical, more authoritarian dictatorships, such as the Stalinist model - an irony of fascism. It is easy to mobilize people's enthusiasm, and it is also easy to make people obey. As long as the propaganda is in place and the motor of the state machine is activated, it can be achieved. However, it is too difficult, too difficult to eliminate human greed. We always think that as long as there is an excellent leader leading the way, this society and this country will become better. In fact, everything has been planned long ago by something like a computer program, because most people basically say that due to long-term "brainwashing", they can only accept "a planned" thing even subconsciously, so When the teacher who explained anarchism had no choice but to go, he was also destined to be understood by only a few people. But what about history? Those sources cut by war are never just individuals, but a collective led by individuals, which is ambition. The essence of the "team spirit" advocated by today's companies is to mobilize the enthusiasm for work like in the film, because in the eyes of the greedy eyes behind it, there is only the maximization of "profit". "Team spirit" is the form of fascism in the early days. when it is used in the body It's harmless when it comes to sports, but when it's used in a high-margin project, it's just a tool. We must see clearly: all the good words advocated at the moment, when they are involved in economic problems, will exist without exception in a conventional way of capital operation, which can stimulate competition between people, But at the same time, it is moving towards a model of "elite centralization", and in the end this "core person of the team" will benefit, not everyone else. It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, but the path that must be taken under this mechanism (the teacher in the film doesn't want to take this road, so his students point guns at him - this is the inevitability, suicide is here Not to wake up, but to see a despair, a despair over the reality of the moment—it means no way out of any kind for any idealist). So, how do people live on this road where money comes first? - A plate of loose sand! After we cut off the "node" of the combination of ideal and reality, the pursuit of modern people in the spiritual field is gradually disintegrating. Forge ahead, and the environment continues to create positive news, until one day, "paper can no longer contain fire", and the moment the expert's remarks can't work, everything will naturally collapse... In addition, if If you've read Sartre's "Childhood of a Business Owner" before watching this movie, you'll understand more thoroughly that anyone who feels uncomfortable seeing Karo refuses to wear a white shirt has Accept the possibility of fascism (including us in the audience). This concept formed by history, environment, family inheritance, and long-term education cannot be changed. Because, as a creature with a "social imprint", from the day we were born, every pore of human beings was filled with two words - selfishness, it is true that we yearn for freedom, but we yearn more A great, sublime order. Especially when this kind of "greatness and nobility" is repeatedly affirmed by some people around us, it is possible for us to really do extremely cruel and cruel things to "other people". Because it has been silent for too long. At this moment, they feel that they can finally have some "real pursuits" in their lives, so whoever gets in the way of it will be eliminated! Those who gave him a "sense of belonging" became his strong backing - the fascist nature of man once again awakened from the dream in the "form of collectivism", and when this imaginary collective was disillusioned, there were always some individuals who were Those who have been completely assimilated, such as the child who took the "wave" as his own life "self-destruction" - in his After seeing oneself as a part of the collective, the destruction of the collective is the destruction of his individual, so the concept of "party" and "country" in any country with fascist tendencies is indistinguishable. The four words "destroy the party and the country" have always been linked together. This is always the logic for the part of people who are in it and share the interests of the "party state". Of course, you can also analyze it from the surface perspective of the "circle"...
