Line 461:
Fascism can't be described as fully reactionary or revolutionary but rather a synthesis of [[File:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism]] and [[File:Fut2.png]] [[Futurism|Futurism's]] radical modernism. It calls for an alternative interpretation of modernism, different from the [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism|Liberal]] one, with a bigger focus on technology, speed and violence. Fascism's views could also be described as a [[File:Pragmat.png]] [[Machiavellianism|Pragmatic]] combination of tradition and progress where it takes the "best parts" from both of them to [[File:Totalitarian.png]] [[Totalitarianism|benefit the state]] and [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|rejuvenate the nation]].
However,
===[[File:Imp.png]] [[Imperialism]]===
It is common, though it not a rule, that Fascist ideals and nations tend to be imperialist in nature. For examples of this, we can look back the the Second World War, with the Fascist Italy taking over Ethiopia and Albania, and the Nazi Germany taking over most of Europe. These goals were bought on either by a concept of irredentism, commonly defined as reclaiming lost land to reach your nation's greatest extent, or expansionism, which is the the desire to gain more land. Sometimes both can be used as justification, like in Germany, where the idea of Lebensraum ran rampant.
