Movements that arose from anger and jealousy to other nation"s successes. There"s five theme"s that most historians agree are shared: Importance of the irrational = fascism unlike socialism or communism doesn"t have a firm party program with clear ideas as to what economic or political system should be put into place. It"s not a rational logic as much as it is an emotional logic. It depends on passion, national belonging, national destine. It"s based on emotions instead of strict political programs. Many of the fascist leaders had been soldiers during. Many of them spoke of the purification of violence . A nation that suffered via battle could be glorified via violence. Rallies emerged from a militaristic tradition; they were very interested in violence and the military.
