Hitler gave fascism a bad name

Fascism, from the Roman Fasces, a symbol of a bundle of sticks supporting an axe, seen in modern government buildings, the house of representatives, the lincoln memorial, the dime, and in state seals.  Faces symbolize strength through unity.  This in itself is not a bad ideal.  Having the country support you in strength and unity, raising their arm together, is not a bad ideal.  Nor is adopting an old hindu symbol to represent power and strength. 

Fascism, at its core, can be used for good.  A leader of Africa could rise up and use fascism, saying that the people must unite to eliminate poverty and strive for economic superiority.  A fascist could the ideals of charity and goodwill to create a nation that is superior in a philanthropic sense, not in a racial sense. 

But of course, with the advent of Hitler, any such unity among a nations people, and any common hand gesture as raising it straight at an angle, is seen as committing all the crimes of Hitler and being just as atrocious.  Because of him, fascism can no longer be used for good, at least not openly.

Nazi is short National Socialist German Workers Party or National Socialist.
>the problem with it is that it's so easily corruptible, a few bad eggs in the system creates a big pile of shit.
That's why mixed with true patriots, like the Nazis did will create what you describe in the next sentence. Keep in mind that it requires a different society though, a slightly wiser one.
But I don't understand how it is easily corruptible. It's not. In fact, the only thing that's harder to corrupt is a Libertarian government. Perhaps you didn't check out the hierarchy? It's almost perfect, like a military one.
>unfortunately, these 2 systems don't last very long. once a bad person gets the power, it all gown downhill.
We haven't got to that yet.
>in conclusion, fascism may be a savior someday. but not until people stop being selfish little shits, and start working for the team, not using the team for their own goals.
Society has changed since WW2. I don't know if fascism might work in any way now, we've become excessively selfish. I think fascism might have been good as a transition from Eastern European ex commie states to something better ... They didn't and now they're shitholes.
