>If Germany had won the war, the "common sense" would be that fascism was good
In Spain fascism won the civil war and most people still could realize fascism was bad.

LOL
>physically discrete beings and entities
Proletariat, Burgeoise, Volks, People, Fatherland, Motherland, Capital, Markets, Motion, Industry, Advertisement, Propaganda, Technology
Is any of those things a physically discrete entity?
Modernism is about movement, structure, and systems, the main defining art of modernism is cinema, pic related is the epitome of modern visual arts

>doesn't realize the fascists came out of futurism's enthusiasm for modernism
Yes i do, but you clearly don't understand what the fuck futurism is either

>think Jung wanted us to scientifically measure things instead of psychically
Jung never rejected Freud, Freud rejected Jung, Jung saw himself as continuing Freud's work, and he wanted to scientifically measure collective psychic structures

> It won't get you as far as the nazis, who are modernists par excellence believing that society could be engineered to a stable golden age
Thats communism, Nazis believed that the species could be engineered into a stable golden being

Your whole understanding of this things is based on a politically difused view of the world

Lol no its not, pluralism is communist, and ahistoricity is traditionalism/ur-fascism, self referentiality is older than modernism, you got las meninas as a huge proof for that.

Post modernism is about the "destruction of big narratives" via the introduction of things like chaos theory and probabilistic systems; what you refer to as self-referentiality is actually cybernetics.

If both were shapes, modernism is a circle and postmodernim is a spiral
