Fascism the Bloody Ideology of Darwinism

Fascists believed only in brute force, that there was a constant "fight for survival" between races and nations, and that shedding blood was a sacred duty. They caused the death of tens of millions of people.At the root of this violent ideology lay a theory that presented man as a "species of animal," and maintained ... En savoir plus
