Eric.V:中國的法西斯化
中國的法西斯化，是個甚少被研究的課題。一方面，似乎世界的動盪推動中共當局倉促間加快了某些法西斯化的舉措，另一方面，中國民間的法西斯化其實又由來已久。
這涉及到一個很多人都曾隱隱有感的問題——中國社會的崇德現象。
這個德，主要涉及三個脈絡相承的政治實體：普魯士、德意志帝國、納粹德國。
其中納粹德國為崇拜的主要物件，但因為過於露骨，所以常把另兩者搬上臺面。
這些崇拜者，有一個略帶自嘲的名稱：德棍。
雖然近些年，中國經濟老二地位膨脹一時，老子天下第一的心態導致某些德棍連第三帝國都有點不放在眼裡了，但追根溯源，我們可以發現在稍往前的漫長歲月中，崇德現象在中國的異常普遍以及德棍人群驚人的數量級。
由此構建出的龐大生態，對中國社會法西斯化的影響，已經完全超出了一般預料。
以我本人舉個例子，我大概在小學時就能接觸到盜版的《我的奮鬥》，此書當年在街頭大大小小的盜版書攤裡並不罕見。
而我在好奇心驅使下居然還把它看完了。
能讓納粹宣傳在街頭氾濫以致小學生都可輕易接觸，這在歐美等對納粹宣傳有所管理的正常社會，恐怕並不常見吧？但在中國社會，完全沒人當回事。
在形式上，具象表現是崇德，但其實崇的，是背後的法西斯本質——自上而下的領袖獨裁、對外擴張的軍國主義、以及威武雄壯的法西斯美學……
德國只是在大大小小的法西斯國家裡，恰好由於最強，並且貌似未曾羞辱過中國，而剛好成為了中國法西斯崇拜的“天選之子”。相比之下，義大利過於弱雞，日本則由於侵華，羞辱性屠殺等因素，實在讓中國人難以崇拜，而且還有官方管制的風險。
中國社會崇拜法西斯的現象，不是單一偶然的，它與中國社會的許多方面都糾纏融合在一起。
我只說兩個最明顯的方面。
一方面，是中國的傳統文化。
法西斯的擴張本性，將個人作為集體戰爭工具的哲學觀，與中國將個體置於隨時可為集體犧牲的“大局觀”哲學不謀而合。但雙方又同時推崇將整個天下置於“最強個體”的個人獨裁之下。家國情懷掩蓋下冷漠無情的集體主義，當權者為自己驕奢淫逸的特權利益鼓吹的領袖獨裁，以及由此搭建的森嚴等級，併發演進的社會達爾文主義……法西斯與中國傳統文化的基因，就像雙螺旋一樣天然嵌合。
諷刺的是，這二者無時無刻不在鼓吹的“集體主義”，其實是一種偽集體主義，它與健康的集體主義在本質上就不相同。因為說到底，這種集體主義是為最終、最高的個體——領袖，所服務的意識形態工具而已。
一句話概括就是：東方專制語境下的集體主義，本質上只是一種極端扭曲的個人主義。
對法西斯的崇拜是這種東方文化下的必然產物。
另一方面，是中共的黨國制度。
法西斯國家，無一例外都是黨國黨治。當代的中華人民共和國，也無疑是個黨國。
這個紅色極權，說起來與納粹一左一右，其實拋卻這些表面區別，二者的本質，都不過是反人類的法西斯犯罪集團罷了。
在中共的黨國黨治下，對法西斯的崇拜進一步變為社會的法西斯化，也是自然而然的事情，又有什麼好說的呢？
只是因此，需要指出的是：
反共從來不是反共產黨這樣一個孤零零的政治話題，然後人們還可以運用共產黨最喜歡的辯證法，去“一分為二”的分析共產黨的好與壞，並假裝一切都是客觀理性中立的學術分析。不是的，這種似是而非的“客觀理性中立”，背後的終極目的只是在解構反共的合法性而已。
中共的本質就是法西斯，反共就是反法西斯。
不要低估反法西斯鬥爭的艱鉅性，也不要低估這場偉大斗爭的正義性。
與諸君共勉之。
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.
