A lot was destroyed. A large portion of the art is thanks to the catholic church.
But I can assure you that there is still a lot of "fascist" literature, because it is on my shelf. Note that "fascist" is in scare-quotes, much like "far-right" would be, because very little fascism truly exists. I'll drop the scare quotes for now. You have British fascism (Oswald Mosley), who was more of a national syndicalist than a fascist, Italian fascism (Mussolini), which held a lot more marxist ideas than anyone would be comfortable with admitting, and Irish fascism, under Gearóid Ó Cuinneagáin, Eoin O’Duffy, and Frank Ryan. They weren't so much fascists as they are hardcore traditionalist militant Republicans that helped Francisco Franco out a bit and they were anti-Marxists, which is probably why people think of them as fascists. I know more about Irish fascism than the three I mentioned, with a small mention towards Spain's falangism, which I would still not really consider fascism. All mentioned were third position through and through, though, and had a lot similarities and overlap mentioned in Giovanni Gentile's book and Benito Mussolini's ideas of what fascism is. There is a cruel irony in Mussolini not following his own ideas, but he was pretty much just learning as he went and did the whole "fake it 'til you make it" routine, since he was relatively very new to the world of "right wing" anything. But that's out of the scope of this discussion.
>>21329907
That's a decent, fast read over. You should check out Giovanni Gentile's Origins And Doctrine Of Fascism for a better grasp of the foundations of Italian fascism. Hopefully this won't be confusing, but it's also a decent third positionist foundational book.

All real artists who had a perception of Beauty were essentially right-wingers.
Marxist, being equalitarian resentful subhumans, are unable to percieve beauty (nor truth). They can only make piles of systematic lies to destroy the world (theory), which is their only desire. Marxists can subvert, not create, destroy, not build.

What a brainwashed npc response. Fascist artists were at the cutting edge of modernism. D'Annunzio, Marinetti, Breker, Pound, Drieu la Rochelle, and Wyndham Lewis being some of the most famous and still influential to this day. There's a thriving fascist underground art scene going on right now too. Many of the artists are forced to remain anonymous unfortunately, but you can find them if you look.

Who's a fascist? Knut Hamsun won the nobel prize for literature and was a noted fashy supporter. If you believe the left anything neoclassical is fascist art. Lefties can't go two seconds without calling something fascist normally, from military Hollywood movies to any author who has a binary view on good and evil.
It's only when they want to pretend they didn't spend years saying that, that suddenly there are no fascist artists. Sudden convenient amnesia is very common to leftists.

You can also have Malaparte and Ungaretti, but the fact remains but surprisingly few of the best artists where on the fascist side. And ones Nazism took over the movement shed most of its intellectual support.

Lovely. As Lenny Bruce, the jew heroin addict comedian famously said: "There's only two kinds of people that go to neo NAZI meetings; Jews and FBI agents". In the case of Frank Collins the NAZI leader was the jew.

He ended up being kicked out for kiddy diddling then later turned up as a writer of pseudo magical archaelogy books on ancient Egypt and Mayans with a big dose of Atlantis thrown in.

>>Upon his release from prison, Collin "reinvented himself under the pseudonym of Frank Joseph, a New Age writer and pagan worshiper."[16] His time in the Pontiac Correctional Facility in Illinois had coincided with the period when Russell E. Burrows worked there as a prison guard.[17] He subsequently wrote many books and articles in support of Burrows Cave, an alleged cache of ancient treasure in an unrevealed location, supposedly discovered by Russell Burrows in southern Illinois."[18] In 1987, he had his first New Age book published, The Destruction of Atlantis: Compelling Evidence of the Sudden Fall of the Legendary Civilization.

>>He wrote articles for Fate magazine, and he was also the editor of The Ancient American magazine.[19] The Ancient American focuses on what it says is evidence of ancient, pre-Columbian transoceanic contact between the Old World and North America, with the implication that any complex aspect of indigenous culture must have originated from other continents. The magazine's claims are similar to discredited nineteenth century theories, and are considered dubious or exploitative by scholars.[20]

I'm still convinced that the rise of the NAZIs in Germany and their attack on the USSR was really a Trotskyite attempt to retake the revolution back from Stalin through a straight up assault.

fascism is inherently atheistic.
Fascism didnt exist before atheism.
Fascism is the atheist version of monarchy: being obsessed with being told what to do by a few generic bureaucrats turned into control freaks in order to secure their positions, since fascism being part of atheism and its circlekering over bureaucratic trifles, they have no external supernatural justification for being here, contrary to kings who claimed God put them in charge.
any solution to atheism will not be found with an new -ism from the plethora of -isms the atheists created due to their freedom of opinion and freedom of speech.

There are many different definitions and interpretations of the term "fascist," and different people may have different ideas about what constitutes fascist art or literature. However, it is generally true that fascist regimes and movements often seek to suppress or control artistic expression, and that artists who are critical of fascist ideologies may face persecution or censorship.

One reason why there may be relatively little fascist art or literature is that fascist regimes and movements often prioritize ideology and propaganda over artistic expression. In many cases, fascist regimes have sought to control and regulate the arts in order to promote a particular political agenda, and they have often sought to suppress artistic expression that is deemed to be critical or subversive. This can make it difficult for artists who are critical of fascist ideologies to create and distribute their work, and it can limit the range and diversity of artistic expression that is available.

Additionally, the aesthetic and artistic values associated with fascist ideologies are often at odds with many of the principles and values that are associated with art and literature. Fascism is often associated with authoritarianism, nationalism, and militarism, which are not typically seen as conducive to artistic creativity and expression. As a result, fascist regimes and movements may not prioritize or support the arts in the same way that other political systems do, and this can limit the amount and quality of fascist art and literature that is produced.

Overall, the reasons for the relative scarcity of fascist art and literature are complex and varied. Fascism's often hostile attitude towards artistic expression, along with the aesthetic and ideological values associated with fascist ideologies, are among the factors that may contribute to this scarcity.
