106 FASCISM: THE BLOODY IDEOLOGY OF DARWINISM

The Fascist Love of Violence

In a report titled "British in Africa Lack Killer Urge" published in The
New York Times of June 24, 1942, James Aldridge describes the Nazi view of war
and killing in these words:

The German commanders are scientists, who are continually
experimenting with and improving the hard, mathematical formula of
killing. They are trained as mathematicians, engineers and chemists
facing complicated problems. There is no art in it, there is no
imagination. War is pure physics to them. The German soldier is trained
with a psychology of the daredevil track rider. He is a professional
killer, with no distractions. He believes he is the toughest man on
earth. 44
This model of "professional killer" employed by the Nazis is a common
feature of fascism. Fascists regard the use of force and violence as an end in
itself. The influence of Darwinism plays a major role here. The Darwinist
superstitions that human beings are nothing but developed animals, and that
only the strong can survive, did away with the ethical values. Love and
compassion were replaced by feelings of aggression, revenge and struggle,
sentiments that were presented to people as a scientific necessity.
Fascists see conflict as a law of nature, and believe that peace, security
and comfort impede the progress of mankind. Mussolini's words, when
opening the Fascist Culture and Propaganda School in Milan in 1921, are an
indication of this, where he identified action as the force that would lead
fascism to victory. 45
Acts of violence, destruction, assaults and fighting are what keep
fascists' morale at a high level. These are the exact opposite of peace,
brotherhood, peace and tranquility.
The ignorance of the fascists also plays a pivotal role in their tendency
towards violence. That is why Hitler felt the need for fighters in his racist
regime, not intellectuals.
The Nazis' acts of violence were carried to that end by specially formed
organizations. The first of these, the SA (Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers)
were formed in 1920, and in 1921 they took on a paramilitary quality. There
were a great many street thugs in the ranks of the SA. The group was also
known as the "Brown Shirts," and was led by Ernst Röhm, known for his
psychopathic nature (and his homosexual tendencies). The SA carried out
countless acts of terrorism throughout the 1920s in order to strengthen the Nazi
