    1984 Analysis

    Each of the Party's subjects have lost their personal identity, their individuality is lost to the governing power. Whilst implementing several rules to stop people from expressing their self, citizens are forced to comply unless they have a deep yearning for punishment and correction. Through telescreens, the thought police, and the citizens ready to declare leery behaviour, the Party has surrounded itself with a security layer, enough so to furthermore control their people's actions and thoughts. (QUOTE) People may have no personal opinions, nor may they have the right to decide on religion, dress, or political views. Each citizen lacks the strength to overthrow the Party singularly, and grouping together in an attempt to may be catastrophic with the Party having many forms of detection. Humanity may have fallen too deep into an abyss to struggle back into their former state. (QUOTE)…

    Explain and Evaluate the Reasons Why Fascists Reject Both Liberalism and Socialism

    Fascism can be characterised as a “radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology” with the belief that “nations, not social classes, are the primary forces in history and politics”. It is neither Liberal nor Socialist, but a balanced medium between capitalism and revolutionary Marxism. With a nationalist perception, Fascists seek to revive their nation to glory through the commitment of individuals to unite in order to produce a national identity where everyone is connected by either ancestry, culture, or blood, and to be led by a totalitarian single-party government that aims to bring the masses together for the benefit of the nation. Although ultimately being Socialism with a Capitalist veneer, Fascism is a reactionary ideology and Fascists reject both liberalism and socialism for a number of key reasons. In the eyes of Fascists the ideal society is not one of liberalism or socialism where society is for the individual but one where individuals are for the society, an extreme take on President John F. Kennedy’s famous quote “ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country”.…

    Political Ideologies In The New Right

    Political ideologies arise from some major historical, economic or social changes and every country has been affected by some political ideologies that have been changed and improved according to the changing conditions of countries throughout the history. For example, 1970s remembered as a ''pivot of change'' in world history focusing on the economic outbreaks. At that time, ''New Right'' emerged as a mixture of economic liberalism and social conservatism because of the economic crisis that was caused by the failures of Keynesian model of economics and the welfare state. It was one of the most dominant political ideologies which affected many countries during the 1970s and 1980s. Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are models of people who put New Right ideology into practice. As a result, The New Right ideology influenced some economic and social policies of countries as can be seen in the movie ''Riff-Raff''. This movie shows the transition to neoliberalism which was in England in the 1980s. This transition is described in the lives of construction workers.…

    In today’s world everyone must choose a side when it comes to political parties. One may or may not share the exact same ideology of the party, but may tend to side with them on particular issues. In the Simulation Assignment, I had the “pleasure” of being a member of the National Party (Far Right). Many people see this part as extremist or people who have lost touch of reality due to their beliefs and policies on many different things. Many of these parties are not glorious or famous, but rather infamous due to nature of their beliefs. One of those infamous parties is the Nazi party that controlled Germany that one an election in the slightest margin. The party focused on Nationalism and blaming the Jews for the failure of their people. This…

    Critical Review of Fascism

    Critical Review of Fascism

    Over the past thirty years, political scientists, sociologists, social psychologists and historians have tried to isolate the essential and distinct features of Fascism. There is no doubt that the goal is pretentious, because the term is “loosely applied”(Blinkhorn,2000,p.4) to right wing movements, regimes, and even the interwar period. Regardless of these various attributions, there seems to be an elusive phenomenon usually termed “generic Fascism”. Martin Blinkhorn, author of “Fascism and the Right in Europe 1919-1945” claims that such a terminology is less than intellectually stimulating. The reason for this is during this period, European Fascism and other forms of right-wing authoritarianism were considered the same. The problem with this belief, Blinkhorn argues is “fascism” is very much distinct in features from other right-wing extremist parties, movements and regimes. As a social and political historian, Blinkhorn’s concern is for the “ideological sphere”() of fascism, in other words, what constitutes being a fascist party? In order to answer this question he explains that fascism needs to be understood in terms of “its metamorphosis as it moves (sometimes) from theory to movement and then (more rarely) from movement to regime. To demonstrate this, Blinkhorn explains the context in which fascism arose, further using various case studies he outlines the differences in various right-wing regimes claiming to be “fascist”, and at last he analyzes the various interpretations of fascism by other scholars. In short this critical review attempts to summarize the major context in which fascism arose, demonstrate Blinkhorn’s argument and further question the validity of Blinkhorn’s analysis of fascism being “paradoxical in nature”. (Blinkhorn,2000,p.7)…
