Eric.V:中国的法西斯化
中国的法西斯化，是个甚少被研究的课题。一方面，似乎世界的动荡推动中共当局仓促间加快了某些法西斯化的举措，另一方面，中国民间的法西斯化其实又由来已久。
这涉及到一个很多人都曾隐隐有感的问题——中国社会的崇德现象。
这个德，主要涉及三个脉络相承的政治实体：普鲁士、德意志帝国、纳粹德国。
其中纳粹德国为崇拜的主要对象，但因为过于露骨，所以常把另两者搬上台面。
这些崇拜者，有一个略带自嘲的名称：德棍。
虽然近些年，中国经济老二地位膨胀一时，老子天下第一的心态导致某些德棍连第三帝国都有点不放在眼里了，但追根溯源，我们可以发现在稍往前的漫长岁月中，崇德现象在中国的异常普遍以及德棍人群惊人的数量级。
由此构建出的庞大生态，对中国社会法西斯化的影响，已经完全超出了一般预料。
以我本人举个例子，我大概在小学时就能接触到盗版的《我的奋斗》，此书当年在街头大大小小的盗版书摊里并不罕见。
而我在好奇心驱使下居然还把它看完了。
能让纳粹宣传在街头泛滥以致小学生都可轻易接触，这在欧美等对纳粹宣传有所管理的正常社会，恐怕并不常见吧？但在中国社会，完全没人当回事。
在形式上，具象表现是崇德，但其实崇的，是背后的法西斯本质——自上而下的领袖独裁、对外扩张的军国主义、以及威武雄壮的法西斯美学……
德国只是在大大小小的法西斯国家里，恰好由于最强，并且貌似未曾羞辱过中国，而刚好成为了中国法西斯崇拜的“天选之子”。相比之下，意大利过于弱鸡，日本则由于侵华，羞辱性屠杀等因素，实在让中国人难以崇拜，而且还有官方管制的风险。
中国社会崇拜法西斯的现象，不是单一偶然的，它与中国社会的许多方面都纠缠融合在一起。
我只说两个最明显的方面。
一方面，是中国的传统文化。
法西斯的扩张本性，将个人作为集体战争工具的哲学观，与中国将个体置于随时可为集体牺牲的“大局观”哲学不谋而合。但双方又同时推崇将整个天下置于“最强个体”的个人独裁之下。家国情怀掩盖下冷漠无情的集体主义，当权者为自己骄奢淫逸的特权利益鼓吹的领袖独裁，以及由此搭建的森严等级，并发演进的社会达尔文主义……法西斯与中国传统文化的基因，就像双螺旋一样天然嵌合。
讽刺的是，这二者无时无刻不在鼓吹的“集体主义”，其实是一种伪集体主义，它与健康的集体主义在本质上就不相同。因为说到底，这种集体主义是为最终、最高的个体——领袖，所服务的意识形态工具而已。
一句话概括就是：东方专制语境下的集体主义，本质上只是一种极端扭曲的个人主义。
对法西斯的崇拜是这种东方文化下的必然产物。
另一方面，是中共的党国制度。
法西斯国家，无一例外都是党国党治。当代的中华人民共和国，也无疑是个党国。
这个红色极权，说起来与纳粹一左一右，其实抛却这些表面区别，二者的本质，都不过是反人类的法西斯犯罪集团罢了。
在中共的党国党治下，对法西斯的崇拜进一步变为社会的法西斯化，也是自然而然的事情，又有什么好说的呢？
只是因此，需要指出的是：
反共从来不是反共产党这样一个孤零零的政治话题，然后人们还可以运用共产党最喜欢的辩证法，去“一分为二”的分析共产党的好与坏，并假装一切都是客观理性中立的学术分析。不是的，这种似是而非的“客观理性中立”，背后的终极目的只是在解构反共的合法性而已。
中共的本质就是法西斯，反共就是反法西斯。
不要低估反法西斯斗争的艰巨性，也不要低估这场伟大斗争的正义性。
与诸君共勉之。
The Fascistization of China: A Rarely Explored Topic
The fascistization of China is a subject that has rarely been studied. On the one hand, global turbulence seems to have pushed the Chinese Communist authorities to hastily accelerate certain fascist measures. On the other hand, the seeds of fascism in Chinese society have long been sown.
This brings us to a question that many have vaguely sensed: the phenomenon of "Germany worship" in Chinese society.
This "Germany" primarily refers to three interconnected political entities: Prussia, the German Empire, and Nazi Germany.
Among these, Nazi Germany is the main object of admiration, though its overt nature often necessitates invoking the other two as a front.
These admirers have a somewhat self-deprecating nickname: "German Fanboys" (德棍).
Although in recent years, China's economic status as the world's second-largest economy has swelled some egos to the point where certain "German Fanboys" even dismiss the Third Reich, a closer look reveals the widespread prevalence of "Germany worship" in China over the long course of history, along with the staggering number of German Fanboys.
The massive ecosystem built upon this phenomenon has exerted an influence on China's social fascistization far beyond ordinary expectations.
Take myself as an example. When I was in elementary school, I could easily access a pirated copy of Mein Kampf. At the time, this book was not uncommon in the numerous pirated book stalls on the streets.
Out of curiosity, I actually read through it.
The idea that Nazi propaganda could circulate so widely on the streets, accessible even to elementary school children, would be inconceivable in normal societies like those in Europe and the United States, where Nazi propaganda is regulated. But in Chinese society, no one seemed to care.
In form, what is worshiped is Germany, but in essence, it is the fascist core behind it: top-down leadership dictatorship, militaristic expansionism, and the awe-inspiring aesthetics of fascism...
Germany happens to be the "chosen one" of Chinese fascist worship due to its strength among fascist states and its apparent lack of historical humiliation of China. In comparison, Italy was too weak, and Japan, due to its invasion of China and atrocities like massacres, is too humiliating for Chinese people to admire and also poses risks of official censorship.
The phenomenon of fascist worship in Chinese society is not incidental but is deeply intertwined with various aspects of Chinese culture.
Let me point out two of the most apparent ones:
- Traditional Chinese Culture Fascism's expansionist nature and its philosophy of treating individuals as tools for collective warfare align seamlessly with China's philosophy of sacrificing individuals for the "greater good." Both ideologies advocate placing all of society under the autocratic rule of the "strongest individual." Beneath the guise of "patriotic sentiment" lies a cold and ruthless collectivism, leader-worship fueled by the extravagant privileges of those in power, rigid hierarchies, and the accompanying social Darwinism.
The genetic makeup of fascism and traditional Chinese culture fit together as naturally as a double helix.
Ironically, the "collectivism" constantly trumpeted by both is, in fact, a pseudo-collectivism, fundamentally distinct from healthy collectivism. Ultimately, this form of collectivism is merely an ideological tool serving the ultimate, highest individual—the leader.
In one sentence: collectivism in the context of Eastern despotism is essentially an extreme distortion of individualism.
The worship of fascism is an inevitable product of this Eastern cultural context.
- The Party-State System of the CCP Without exception, fascist states are governed by party-state rule. The contemporary People's Republic of China is undoubtedly a party-state.
This red authoritarian regime, seemingly diametrically opposed to Nazism, shares the same essence: both are anti-human fascist criminal organizations.
Under the CCP's party-state system, the worship of fascism naturally evolves into the fascistization of society. What more needs to be said?
This leads to an important point:
Anti-communism has never been a standalone political topic. It is not something that can be dissected with the CCP's favorite dialectical method, dividing its "good" and "bad" aspects in an attempt to feign objective, rational, and neutral academic analysis. No, such pseudo-objectivity and pseudo-neutrality ultimately aim to undermine the legitimacy of anti-communism.
The essence of the CCP is fascism, and to oppose the CCP is to oppose fascism.
Do not underestimate the arduousness of the anti-fascist struggle, nor should you underestimate the righteousness of this great battle.
Let us persevere together.
