[AFAIK]

Could anyone recommend articles, essays and/ or books about fascism?

I am very interested in the far-east and would prefer to read about Japanese fascism then German or Italian.

Current affairs capture my interest. Ancient history much less so.

Thanks in advance.

PS- Some forums sticky (hold at the top of the page) threads that are particularly helpful or relevant to new posters. And yes, I know they don't exist.

[fuser]

The must reading is :

The Doctrine of Fascism by Benito Mussolini

For Japan

The Theory of Japan's National Polity and Pure Socialism by Ikki Kita

But wait for fascists on board for more and better suggestions.

I invite you all to contribute to the list. The list, as it stands at initial posting, was jotted down relatively quickly from memory. An immense number of works are missing. Please contribute. There are a lot of us here that have some scholarly background in fascism, and a condensed list of important works can be a resource for others on the forum, and ourselves in general to expand our knowledge of the fascist phenomenon.

You've covered a lot already (you listed like all the Ze'ev Sternhell stuff!), so I'll add these just quickly - although lists like this are always really hard to make, and come out looking a bit 'random' and always incomplete, nevertheless, let's try:

• The Book of Tea, by Kakuzo Okakura
• Beyond Good and Evil, by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
• The Antichrist, by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
• The Man-Made World; or Our Androcentric Culture, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
• Democracy: The God That Failed, by Hans-Hermann Hoppe (disregard his Libertarian 'solutions'. This will mean fighting against Hoppe while reading him.)
• Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy, by Carl Schmitt
• Social Economics, by Friedrich von Wieser
• The Law of Power, by Friedrich von Wieser
• On Identity, by Alain de Benoist
• The Analects of Confucius
• The Sayings of Mencius

• The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins
• Moving the Mountain, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
• The Family Way: A New Approach to Policy Making, by Harriet Harman

[AFAIK]

Thankyou Fasces !!
I need to upgrade my search function so as to avoid repetitive questions.

[AFAIK]

I've looked through the lists and I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Where can I learn about Corporatism in 20th century Japan?
What about present day China?
S Korea during industrialization?

[mikema63]

I find it easier to start with a very general text and work my way deeper on specific ideas I'm interested in.

You could start with a book like Fascism from the oxford readers series that assembles bits from a lot of different authors to try and give a general view.

http://www.amazon.com/Fascism-Oxford-Readers-Roger-Griffin/dp/0192892495

[AFAIK]

I think I'm more interested in learning about Asian politics and current affairs than fascism generally.

Fascism is only interesting to me in an Asian context.

[Fasces]

Corporatism and Korean Capitalism by Dennis McNamara is the only one I can think of off hand.

[mikema63]

I found Italian fascism somewhat interesting.

[ThirdTerm]

In contrast to Euro-centric works on comparative fascism that set Japan apart from Germany and Italy, this book emphasizes parallels between Japan and its Axis Allies. Romantic nationalist ideologies attracted a strong following in all three nations as they emerged as modern states in the late 1800s. In both Germany and Japan these were, from the beginning, strongly racial in nature. Spurred by grievances against the "status quo" powers, all three took up aggressive policies in the 1930s, producing a short-lived "fascist era." Japan's prominent role demands a broader perspective and consideration of "fascism" as more than a purely European phenomenon.
http://www.amazon.com/Japan-Fascist-Era-Bruce-Reynolds/dp/140396338X

Several contributors examine how fascism was understood in the 1930s by, for example, influential theorists, an antifascist literary group, and leading intellectuals responding to capitalist modernization. Others explore the idea that fascism’s solution to alienation and exploitation lay in efforts to beautify work, the workplace, and everyday life. Still others analyze the realization of and limits to fascist aesthetics in film, memorial design, architecture, animal imagery, a military museum, and a national exposition. Contributors also assess both manifestations of and resistance to fascist ideology in the work of renowned authors including the Nobel-prize-winning novelist and short-story writer Kawabata Yasunari and the mystery writers Edogawa Ranpo and Hamao Shirō. In the work of these final two, the tropes of sexual perversity and paranoia open a new perspective on fascist culture. This volume makes Japanese fascism available as a critical point of comparison for scholars of fascism worldwide. The concluding essay models such work by comparing Spanish and Japanese fascisms.

I've looked through the lists and I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Where can I learn about Corporatism in 20th century Japan?
What about present day China?
S Korea during industrialization?

I think the key term is Asian Values.


Note 'Asian Values' as espoused by various far east leaders emphasis regionalism, social consensus and collectivism rather than individualism, strong rule by a single party, assertion of the rightness of the the state. Sounds very similar to the western idea of fascism, no?


What the wiki article linked to above missing out on is the origin of the idea of 'Asian Values' that Lee Kuan Yew, Dr Mahathir and others were carrying on about. The concept is descended from the philosophy of Imperial Japan, created as a Japanese centered counter to Western ideas of imperialism in the early 20th century. I believe Japanese political thought in the Imperial period was influenced by Western Fascism.


The Japanese Imperial political doctrines were adopted in Asia by the various local militias formed by the Japanese during WWII. In Indonesia, for example, the local militia became the pro independence movement, led by future rulers such as Sukarno. So there was continuity between Japanese Imperial occupation and the independence movements and the succeeding nation states.


So I think you will have to start with early 20th cent Japan and study the rise of the generals and the political ideas they used to legitimate that movement. Then look at Japanese anti-western/colonial propaganda and the effect on shaping the post war independence movements. Finally we get to the modern era and the needs of Asian states to define themselves in their own terms to avoid being intellectually colonized by western entities.


Curiously there is a perception in the west that Asian Values are defunct as a result of being discredited after the Asian melt down in 1997. This seems odd as the state that did best, Malaysia, rejected western economic principles while those who followed western advice and practice did worse (eg: Thailand). One would think the 1997 crisis would have reinforced the need for developing ones own system of belief to avoid the body of ideas around which society is organized being biased to serve the ambitions of a possible rival.


A good paper on the subject here.
