No.
Fascism is a reaction to communism. French socialism is a reaction to anglo empiricism. Jewish communism is a doubling down on french socialism. Each culture doubled down on its group strategy. Preserving the same ‘grammar’ and logic of persuasion they had in the previous epoch.

Anglo empiricism is just rule of law by the natural law by common law (commonality and concurrency). But anglos and germans were high trust people and the french not so and the jews not at all.

So the ideologies chose during modernization were dependent upon the trust and trustworthiness of the populations and the trust and trustworthiness of the populations was dependent upon the emergence of a lower middle(craftsmen) and middle class (merchants).

Silly people read philosophy. It’s the bridge between childish theology and adolescent ignorance and irresponsibility.

Smart people read military history (technology, production and trade routes), economics (cooperation, positive) and law (conflict, negatives).

One reads theology and philosophy precisely because on is not bearing responsibility for sufficient reality to require concepts necessary for acting responsibly at scale in reality.

Ergo, theology claims, philosophy sells, science, economics and law simply TELL.

“Q: Curt: Is Race A Factor?”
Race is a factor only in that (a) the races: multiple African subraces > early African coastal diaspora thru Australia > South Eurasian Speciation Event (dry persian gulf, mena-to-india) > european speciation event > east asian hybrids (amerindians, turkics etc) > east asian speciation event (tibetan range?) each increase in neotenic evolution, and (b) class sizes were suppressed the further north, assisting neotenic evolution.

So ‘the race problem is largely a class problem’ but only largely, and not entirely. In other words the tendency to express non-neotenic (early) impulse remains even in the upper classes of the less neotenic races.

This is why proximity creates hostility and we are better together when we are together by separate polities in markets than the same societies and neighborhoods in the same polity. For the simple reason that the demands of behavioral regulation required by each race and class within each race follow neotenic evolution: the suppression of aggression and impulse for cooperation and agency.
