FASCISM RENAISSANCE IN THE UNITED STATES WITH DONALD

highlighted the main political goals of Donald Trump as a candidate of the Republican
Party for President of the United States.
According to David Brooks, Donald Trump filed a campaign based on the defense of
law and order in which evidenced their authoritarian personality traits. Trump presented
gladiator logic. Everything revolves around the conquest of the US supremacy. Trump
talks about illegal immigrants who kill the children of Americans that is false because,
between 2010 and 2014, only 121 people released from immigration custody committed
a murder after loose and in a country of 324 million, only 55 officers a year die as a
result of a crime. The main anxieties in the country are not connected to crime because
they are economic and social. Trump is disconnected from the country and is not
interested in anything except in himself. Trump is disconnected from his party. He is
not only changing his party, but above all, dissolving it.
David Brooks says this was the most wildly poorly organized convention long ago. A
normal party is united by a coherent system of beliefs and positions. For decades, the
Republican Party represented abroad, an international order toward the future led by the
United States, and, at home, democratic capitalism with little government involvement
in the economy. Trump decimates this and other things that Republicans defended and
represented. The Trump's political agenda is made of several vacant defensive retreats
as to build a wall between the United States and Mexico to prevent the entry of Latin
American, prohibit the entry of Muslims in the country and isolate the country from the
world.
In turn, Gilles Paris and Nicolas Bourcier claim that Donald Trump said he was the
voice "of those who work hard while no one speaks for them" victims of a "manipulated
system" that only benefit the "elites". Trump presented himself as the "people's
champion", the only one able to change everything. Republican presidential candidate
sought to draw the most distressful picture possible on the United States, fueled by
recalling previous crimes related to illegal immigration, violence against the police, and
an economic situation considered disastrous. Looking beyond the borders of the United
States, Trump said "death, destruction and weakness" of the United States pointing as
the sole guilty his future opponent, former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.

Although it has not abandoned all republican convictions, denouncing excessive
regulation, as the tax burden and to hamper the exploitation of US resources, Trump
also sought to reassure its base by repeating as it does now with the fervor that is "the
candidate of law and order". But Trump buried two conservative beliefs: free trade and
interventionism in foreign policy. Furthermore, he showed his ultranationalist character
narrowing the horizon of their fellow citizens in the name of a principle: "America
first".
All Donald Trump messages point in the direction that, if elected US president could
revive fascism in the contemporary era. Robert Paxton, American historian expert on
fascism and Europe during the Second World War, states in his book The Anatomy of
Fascism (New York: Vintage Books, 2005) that "fascism is a system of political
authority and social order which aims to strengthen the unity, energy and purity of
communities in which liberal democracy stands accused of producing division and
decline. "Paxton adds that fascism is" a form of political behavior marked by obsessive
preoccupation with declining community with the humiliation and victimization and the
compensatory cult of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass party of nationalist
militants, working in uneasy collaboration, but effective with traditional elites,
abandons democratic liberties and search through violence redeeming and without
ethical controls or legal goals of internal cleansing and external expansion".
According to Paxton, fascism emerges in search of some kind of nationalist renewal.
Fascists gather to restore a broken social order, as always using themes such as unity,
order and purity. The reason is rejected in favor of passionate emotion. She always has
root in the restoration of national pride lost by the resurrection of traditional myths and
values of culture and purification of the society of the toxic influences of foreigners and
intellectuals, who would be to blame for the misery in which the nation lives. It is the
US case before an insurmountable economic crisis like the current one, the American
way of life impairment and loss of its world hegemony for China. According to Paxton,
fascism only grows in the rough soil of a mature democracy in crisis as the US case.
This view was embraced fully by the Republican Party that now defines this line. At
this stage, it is openly racist, sexist, repressive, exclusionary, and permanently addicted
to the politics of fear and hatred, as happened during the Bush administration and would
be detailed in a future government Donald Trump.
Noam Chomsky, philosopher and professor at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of
Technology), warned that fascism could happen in the United States. He said that for
over 30 years, real incomes have stagnated or declined in the United States, the official
unemployment rate is around 10 percent and in the industry sector reached levels of the
Depression in 1929 (See Article Chomsky Warns Of Risk Of Fascism in America !,
published on the website <http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/chomsky-
warns-of-risk-of-fascism-in-america/>). Chomsky drew a parallel among the Weimar
Republic in Germany with today's United States. The Weimar Republic was crushed by
the Nazis in 1933. The same will be repeated in the United States with Donald Trump in
power?
It should be noted that the old fascism was a political movement that emerged in Italy
after the First World War, in the 1920s, under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. The
old fascism represented a reaction of conservative forces in Europe against the rise of
workers to power in several countries after the victory of socialism in the Soviet Union
in 1917 and was based on strongly nationalist views and totalitarian exercise of power,

so against the democratic and liberal system and repressive in the face of social
democratic, socialist and communist ideas. The old fascism implemented during the
1920s and 1930s of the twentieth century was based on a strong state, totalitarian, which
claimed to embody the spirit of the people, the exercise of power by a single party
whose authority was imposed through violence, repression and political propaganda.
The fascist leader is a figure that is above of the ordinary men. Mussolini was named as
Il Duce, which derives from the Latin Dux (General) and Hitler's Fuehrer (driver, guide,
leader, chief). Both were messianic and authoritarian leaders, with a power that was
exercised unilaterally without consulting anyone. In Germany, the old fascism received
the Nazi denomination. This movement also had a strong racial component,
promulgating the superiority of the Aryan race and tried to exterminate the Jews,
Gypsies and blacks. Donald Trump has a similar personality to Mussolini and Hitler.
The old fascism was characterized also by aggressive nationalism, militarism and
imperialism in the service of the dominant classes, the cult of leader, the
anticommunism and dictatorship. To put into practice its principles, individual rights
were ignored, Parliament was transformed into a simple advisory body and has created
the political police that crushed all opposition to the regime.
The revival of fascism under the command of Donald Trump in the United States would
result fundamentally of its economic decline and the loss of its hegemony on the world
in a very short timeframe. All world US relations have changed profoundly in recent
times being forced to share with other countries the power worldwide. The era in which
the United States sought to impose their will on the international stage in the economic
and military plans over. This is what is already happening from the Obama
administration. The general crisis of the world capitalist system is accelerating the
geopolitical long-term change, heralding the decline of American power and European
influence. Donald Trump is a reaction aimed at reversing this trend. His performance
would lead, in practice, the revival of fascism in the United States.
