The following AFM "Platform" is a coherent set of ideas that synthesize American Fascism. The platform clearly states what is or is not Fascism. These are the universal beliefs that embody all those who believe in Fascism, without a distortion of racism like the history books or media portrays. WHAT FASCISM IS NOT: Racism or Nazism: Races, though unique, are equal; individuals, however, are not. Regardless of color, men are not created the same, yet, each may use his or her unique talents for virtue. Beware of neo-nazi organiztations claiming to be fascist, under the guise of "White Nationalism" or self proclaimed "Aryan Fascists". Materialism: Fascism does not see history as class struggle, and denies that there is nothing to life, and power politics, except what one can put in one's mouth or pocket. Globalism: Internationalist institutions (economic, hegemonic, or other) cannot be allowed to erode the freedom and sovereignty of nations. The integrity of all cultures must be preserved. Capitalism or Communism: Both Capitalism and Communism are materialist systems that promote degeneracy and crush the human spirit. They consider nothing but man's basest instincts; but man cannot live on peace, land, and bread alone. Superficiality: Democracy has become, inevitably, a popularity contest. Innovative candidates are prevented from rising, for fear of their being "unelectable." Who wins? Democrat or Republican, it's the same man everytime, the one deemed sufficiently bland for mass consumption, or worse: a flashy name with nothing behind it! No wonder we've become apathetic and cynical! WHAT FASCISM IS: Meritocracy or Timocracy: The Degree of which men and women manifest honor and merit in the service of their country is determent of their place in civil society. Sacrifice: "Fascism now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect." Nationalism: "Everything in the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." OR "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Cooperation or State Corporatism: Though private property and free trade must be upheld and defended, business ultimately serves the greater good of the state, and must be guided towards Just and Noble purposes. Virtue: If there is such a thing as "good" and "evil", if there is such a thing a a right and a wrong way; is the right way always the popular way, the way a majority votes? No! Usually it is not. The majority votes the easy way: The path of least resistance, and is thus exploited by the current elite. Fascism alone has the moral courage to do the right thing. For the state, no matter what. Above all, a Fascist believes in virtue and will thus tell you the truth, and not just what you want to hear! Truth, courage, integrity!
