Recent events in Ukraine have shown that the world is too fragile. Everywhere there are military conflicts and clashes. And the reason for this is not only the availability of useful minerals in the territory of one state, but also the national and racial sign of its inhabitants. Therefore, the question of who the Nazis are is quite appropriate. After all, the experience of Fascist Germany of the thirties and forties of the last century was not too instructive for most of the world's peoples.
So, in Russia, especially in St. Petersburg, there are nationalist and fascist groups. It is enough to recall the actions of Maxim Marcinkiewicz, the activities of the Format-18 group and the National Bolshevik Party under the leadership of Limonov. In the United States of America, which is famous for its tolerance, there is also racism and nationalism, but it manifests itself more at the level of religious beliefs. This does not prevent fundamentalist believers from raking entire nations under one comb and blaming them for the wrong and vicious way of life.
What is the difference between Nazism and nationalism?
There is a big difference between the notion of a Nazi and a nationalist. The main difference between these two types of attitude towards their people is manifested in the degree of recognition of other peoples, races and way of life. The Nazis consider their nation - the standard of morality, semantics, culture and social order for other nations. To adhere to such a one-sided view can not only distraught from idleness youth in army turtles and shaved heads.
For example, accusations of Nazism are attributed to a well-known German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. His books were loved by Adolf Hitler himself. But it is impossible to classify this man as a chauvinist ideology, if only because he is the founder of the relativistic doctrine and philosophy of life. A well-known aphorism belonging to Nietzsche, says: "There are no facts - there are only interpretations." Perhaps Nietzsche did not like women, he despised believers, but he did not like his people blindly. Hegel can be considered a well-known Nazi, chauvinist and totalitarian. In his works on absolute spirit, the great philosopher put German culture and society at the last stage of development. For Hegel, Germany was the most educated and civilized country to which other countries should strive.
The nationalist also values and respects his nation, but also recognizes the cultural characteristics and beliefs of other countries. Yes, it puts its people and state first, but not as an example for other countries. Famous nationalists are Leo Tolstoy, Maxim Gorky and, of course, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky.
We return to the question of who are the Nazis in the modern world. Despite the accelerating pace of globalization, liberalism, tolerance and the international exchange of ideas, the world still did not become the blue dream of the hippies. No one burns weapons and dances in a dance to the music of Jimi Hendrix. Obscure in the Revolutions of Ukraine Loses its economic and social status, passing in a flash by destroying all bridges with Russia. And who is to blame? Such Nazis (photo of which is represented on the right), as Banderovtsy? Or the services of the United States of America? The question is complex, and it is unlikely to be answered in the near future. Let's talk more about the Ukrainian Nazis.
Banderaers
The name of the Bandera was derived from the famous Ukrainian political ideologist and nationalist Stepan Andreevich Bandera. It was he who became the first member of the RP OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). June 22, 1941, during the outbreak of World War II, the party set the militants to sabotage the actions of the authorities, kill the command, disseminate false information, frustrate plans and spread panic among people. Captured Russians were given into the hands of the Germans. Subversive activity of Bandera was suppressed in 1952. During the current crisis in Ukraine, once again talking about Bandera. The organization's activities, as in the times when former Nazis were in its head, did not change, they also provoked people, caused panic, killed people. The episode in Kharkov is especially characteristic when the members of this party were caught and forced to apologize to the camera publicly.
Racism and Nazism in America
But still the question remains: who? Such Nazis, like Bandera, could not raise enough money and mobilize such a large amount of forces independently. Therefore, the majority of the population speaks of the hegemony of the United States, of playing the "Orange Revolution" and of the activities of the CIA and the FBI. The history of America contained a lot of chauvinist and rude moments. Take, for example, the extermination of the Indians, the slavery of the blacks, put on the trade flow, and it is no longer worth looking for an answer to the question of who are the fascists and Nazis: the Nazis or the Americans, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. America was proclaimed a special people. She gained her national identity, fighting with Europe, especially Napoleonic in the early eighteenth century, then with Japan and Germany at the time of the Second World War, then with the USSR in the post-war period and the Islamic countries now. The presence of the enemy has always helped America to develop, to progress, and most importantly to unite its people into a single whole, despite the high level of individualization. Now it seems that all the United States of America has taken up arms. There are too many fundamentalist teachings in them. The case concerns not only Nazism, but religious fanatics as well. The explosions of abortion centers, the killing of doctors, pickets and rallies against same-sex marriage do not show the overseas country in the best light. For the average American, There is a question of who such Nazis are, since Nazism is associated directly with Hitler and Mussolini, and the American himself considers a righteous patriot who values his country. Although it is worth noting that over the years, Nazi and nationalist sentiments in America are falling and manifest only as pockets and reactions to certain events. So, after September 11, 2001, almost every house, on the desk in the office and on the streets, hung star-striped flags.
Despite the fact that the globalization is walking around the world with an imposing gait, we still have not learned to appreciate other peoples and nations, to respect another's culture for real, and not just a surrogate for their cuisine, paintings and songs. Apparently, humanity is not yet ready to embark on a common path of joint development. And it is not known whether society can generally get rid of fascism, Nazism, chauvinism, or it is part of our biological nature.
