Fascism is a beautiful ideology, and specifically the racial, "Nazi", version is impressive. I think most people have a mix of awe and fear at the society they tried to build, which is why WW2 is very interesting. The price is increased societal expectations, less personal autonomy, Darwinian eagerness to rid society of those who do not benefit the state and harm society, but the benefits are increased feeling of community, trust, less class anxiety, and an overwhelming sense of purpose in life from birth to serve your society/family/people.
Sometimes, I really believe in globalism. I get the sense that there can be universal solidarity, that humans will emerge from their tribes and function as rough monoculture. The problem is, that the current unity is created only by common markets and is hideous compared to many of the old cultures fading away. Racial differences exist too, but the most important downside is not a loss of 15 IQ points or increased presence of warrior genes, it is the dissolved trust, which I'm skeptical whether or not that can be unlearned. I don't think global consumerism and worship of the individual/consumer can solve this. If it continues to fail, I'll happily join the fourth Reich and take part in the world's final war even if it turns out to be quixotic.
