What is fascism to whom: Assault party squads

Mayor of Novi Sad and vice president of the Serbian Progressive Party Milos Vucevic he said recently that the roadblocks to pass some controversial laws are "pure fascism."

I don't know what would be "dirty" according to him fascism", but I remember what the high-ranking official alludes to. I personally experienced it Auschwitz i Buchenwald and I indignantly refuse that any one should trifle with such a serious phenomenon.

Fascism is an ideology founded by Benito Mussolini. He wrote several books about it, explained what he meant by it. It can be summed up in the idea of ​​abolishing all individuality in politics and creating a class state.

Critical words can be said about the blockades of the streets by dissidents in our country, because as collateral damage there are inconveniences for citizens who are headed somewhere and cannot pass for a while, but there are absolutely no elements of fascism in these riots. We will find them, however, on the opposite side.

When the National Socialist German Workers' Party was founded in Germany under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the two leaders, an Italian and a German, were considered competitors, but they reconciled relatively quickly, realizing that together they could achieve more. In the world, the opinion has become entrenched that parties and movements with one leader, who exclusively consider their compatriots as full citizens and want to conquer as much territory as possible for their country, are called fascist. The principle of the leader extends to all institutions of the state and society.

Despite the fact that we discover some of these ideas in the politics of SNS and Aleksandar Vučić, I would never call the Serbian government fascist. But I recognize some characteristics in her and her followers that remind me of Hitler's party.

During the struggle for power, against the weak Weimar Republic, Hitler, for his personal protection and for the sake of crushing all movements that rebelled against his rise, founded a paramilitary organization called the SA (Sturmabteilung), a kind of assault party squad. She fought against dissidents with sticks, axes, but also with firearms. The regular police did not interfere, they stood aside when there were street fights between the SA and the communists.

When the Nazis finally won power in 1933, this organization was made official. Hermann Goering as the Prussian Minister of the Interior, he promoted her to the "auxiliary police". Since it became too strong, and there was rivalry between certain senior associates of the Führer, Hitler chose which side to support, and ordered the killing of its leaders. He placed more emphasis on the army, and made a small group called the SS the most powerful organization, stronger than the police, the army, and even broad circles of his own party.

There is an obvious similarity with the beating groups that periodically appear on the scene in Serbia, and which resemble paramilitary organizations under the command of the regime. However, there are also important differences. Between the opponents of the Nazis led by the communists and the SA there were serious street battles with many dead, and members of the SA and SS never hid their faces under masks. On the contrary, they proudly showed who they were and said what they wanted to achieve. They wanted the German Empire to live for a thousand years.

Nothing in Europe after World War II can compete with Italian fascism and German Nazism. But for someone who remembers those times, assault, party squads under the auspices and protection of the authorities, with masks or phantoms on their heads and sticks and hammers in their hands cause great discomfort.

A regime of persecution and intimidation has been established for all those who publicly protest against the declaratively democratic Serbia leaders of the "Serbian world" and its followers. I think that they are consciously creating the feeling that they will not be dissuaded from the fact that some thugs, if necessary, can with impunity against "enemies of the people and foreign mercenaries", and in the name of the people, to carry out some party justice. The ground has been prepared for that.
