fascism vs. naziism

Fascism and Naziism have many similarities; for starters, they share the same agent, obstacles and goals in MacCallum's Triadic Model of Freedom. However, Fascism sees humans as irrational beings who do not think critically. While Naziism focuses on class, cultural, and racial divisions, creating superior classes and races. Fascism supports independent groups as well as cultural differences, yet it does not take it to the extreme rascism that Naziism does. They both focus on one commanding leader who has abnormally high levels of power and control. This being said, they are more similar then they are different. The the extreme means allotted by both states to retain power are completely ridiculous by modern standards of morality and democracy. Although fascists regimes pop-up and even flourish for a time int he right environment, today's society would never succomb to such tyrannical leadership. People today, and I guess I am generalizing about Americans, are much too comfortable with their independence and liberties. Not only would a fascist regime be laughed out of the country, it would be completely idiotic and a waste of time. There are very few countries left that maintain a government structure, or lack there of, that would condone such political uprisings. The sooner that the terms fascism and naziism are used only when speaking in the past tense, the better, for everyone.
