Recent events in Ukraine have shown that the world is too fragile. Everywhere there are military conflicts and clashes. And the reason for this is not only the presence of natural minerals in the territory of one state, but also the national and racial characteristics of its inhabitants. Therefore, the question of who the Nazis are is quite appropriate. After all, the experience of Nazi Germany in the thirties and forties of the last century did not turn out to be too instructive for most peoples of the world.
So, in Russia, especially in St. Petersburg, there are nationalist and fascist groups. Suffice it to recall the actions of Maxim Martsinkevich, the activities of the Format-18 group and the National Bolshevik Party under the leadership of Limonov. In the United States of America, famous for its tolerance, racism and nationalism are also present, only it manifests itself more at the level of religious beliefs. It doesn't interferebelieving fundamentalists to rake entire nations under the same brush and accuse them of a wrong and vicious way of life.
What is the difference between Nazism and nationalism
There is a big difference between the concept of a Nazi and a nationalist. The main difference between these two types of attitude towards one's people is manifested in the degree of recognition of other peoples, races and ways of life. The Nazis consider their nation to be the standard of morality, semantics, culture and social structure for other peoples. Such a one-sided point of view can be held not only by the youth, distraught with idleness, in military berets and with shaved heads.
For example, accusations of Nazism are attributed to a famous German philosopher
Friedrich Nietzsche. Adolf Hitler himself loved his books. But it is impossible to classify this person as a chauvinist ideology, if only because he is the founder of the relativistic doctrine and philosophy of life. A well-known aphorism belonging to Nietzsche says: "There are no facts - there are only interpretations." Perhaps Nietzsche did not love women, despised believers, but he did not love his people blindly. Hegel can be considered a well-known Nazi, chauvinist and totalitarian. In his works on the absolute spirit, the great philosopher placed German culture and society at the last stage of development. For Hegel, Germany was the most educated and civilized country that other countries should aspire to.
The nationalist appreciates and respects his nation, but also recognizes the cultural characteristics and beliefs of other countries. Yes, he puts on the firstplace your people and state, but not as a model for other countries. Famous nationalists are Leo Tolstoy, Maxim Gorky and, of course, Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky.
Returning to the question of who the Nazis are in the modern world. Despite the accelerating pace of globalization, liberalism, tolerance and the international exchange of ideas, the world still has not become a blue dream of hippies. No one burns a gun or dances in a round dance to the music of Jimi Hendrix. Ukraine bogged down in revolutions
loses its economic and social status, casually destroying all bridges with Russia. And who is to blame? Such Nazis (whose photo is presented on the right), like Bandera? Or the services of the United States of America? The question is complex, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to answer it in the near future. Let's talk more about the Ukrainian Nazis.
Bandera
The name of Bandera came from the well-known Ukrainian political ideologist and nationalist Stepan Andreyevich Bandera. It was he who became the first member of the RP OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists). On June 22, 1941, during the outbreak of the Second World War, the party set the militants the task of sabotaging the actions of the authorities, killing the command, spreading false information, frustrating plans and sowing panic among people. Captured Russians were given into the hands of the Germans. The subversive activities of Bandera were suppressed in 1952. During the current crisis in Ukraine, they again started talking about Bandera. The activities of the organization, as in the days when it was headed by formerthe Nazis, has not changed, they also provoked people, sowed panic, killed people. Particularly characteristic is the episode in Kharkiv, when members of this party were caught and forced to publicly apologize on camera.
Racism and Nazism in America
But the question still remains: who? Nazis like Bandera would not have been able to raise enough money and mobilize such a large amount of forces on their own. Therefore, the majority of the population talks about US hegemony, about losing the Orange Revolution and about the activities of the CIA and the FBI. The history of America contained many chauvinistic and rude moments. Take, for example, the extermination of Indians, the slavery of blacks, put on a commercial stream, and it is no longer worth looking for an answer to the question of who the Nazis and Nazis are: the Nazis or the Americans, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries. America was proclaimed a special people. She got her national identity by fighting with Europe, especially the Napoleonic one at the beginning of the eighteenth century, then with Japan and Germany during the Second World War, then with the USSR in the post-war period and Islamic countries now. The presence of an enemy has always helped America develop, progress, and most importantly unite its people into a single whole, despite the high level of individualization. Now it seems that everyone is up in arms against the United States of America. There are too many fundamentalist teachings in them. It concerns not only Nazism, but also religious fanatics. Explosions of abortion centers, murders of doctors, pickets and rallies against same-sex marriage do not show overseascountry in the best light. For the average American, no
there is a question about who the Nazis are, since Nazism is associated directly with Hitler and Mussolini, and the American considers himself a righteous patriot who values his country. Although it is worth noting that over the years, Nazi and nationalist sentiments in America are falling and appearing only as centers and reactions to certain events. So, after September 11, 2001, Stars and Stripes flags hung on almost every house, on the table in the office and on the streets.
Despite the fact that globalization is walking around the world with an imposing gait, we still have not learned to appreciate other peoples and nations, to truly respect foreign culture, and not just a surrogate for their cuisine, paintings and songs. Apparently, humanity is not yet ready to embark on a single path of joint development. And it is not known whether society will be able to get rid of fascism, Nazism, chauvinism altogether, or is it part of our biological nature.
