Document Summary

It is concerned more with action than ideas. Liberalism: sees society as a political community produced through agreement by free individuals. Considers humans as fundamentally equal, if a person battles inequalities he is said to be truly fulfilling his or historic role in setting free his fellow human beings from oppression of authoritative rule or relationship. In contrast fascism: sees society as an organic national or racial whole to which its members belong by birth. Believes in the division of society through legitimate and correct hierarchical structures where some groups are by nature superior and others are inferior. One who defends and guards these differences through varied forms of disciplined behaviour under society and its leadership is said to be most. Thus liberal modernity claims that fascism does not believe that the human beings express their most valued living potential when they use their reason for the purposes of individual and collective enlightenment.
