The Soviets Defeated Nazism, but Western Fascism Lived On

While China and Russia honor their historic defeat of fascism, the West has revitalized it. The doctrine of exceptionalism serves as a modern justification for genocide and imperial aggression.

If Nazi ideology had to be boiled down into one idea, it would be that Germans are superior - culturally, spiritually, intellectually and physically. This “superiority” is presumably intrinsic - cosmically derived. An ethereal superiority that transcends the physical. It is not what you do and the outcomes you promote; it is a matter of what you are.

How is this different from U.S. exceptionalism or Western exceptionalism more broadly? The assumption that the U.S. and Europe are culturally, socially and morally superior underlies an ideological belief that 15% of the world should lead the other 85%. Western exceptionalism is Nazi ideology rebranded for the modern era, with the same deranged ideas of self-declared ethereal superiority. Even worse, this belief in western exceptionalism is not articulated only by a single rogue state in Europe. It is fully accepted and acted upon by all of the European elites as they latch their fates to the U.S.

More interesting and also strikingly similar to Nazi ideology is the manner in which this conviction in western superiority is completely untethered to physical reality. For US and western exceptionalism, superiority is cosmically derived. Actions, no matter how degenerate or depraved, have no bearing on that transcendental quality of superiority. It remains white as snow even as it is dragged through rivers of blood.

So the US and Europe can overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine, leading to war and the death and dismemberment of millions, and call it a revolution. They can then bring to power a regime full of literal Nazis but claim to be aiding democracy. The US and Europe can empower (through weapons and diplomatic cover) their colony of squatters, Israel, to prosecute what is considered by international organizations and most people of the world, a literal genocide, starving millions of women and children, bombing tents and murdering “dangerous” babies while openly declaring its intentions to ethnically cleanse Palestine. The president of the United States can, in one breath, call Iran a terrorist “regime” while, in the other, shake the hand of the head-chopping leader of ISIS in Syria, a leader that it, along with the Gulf States, Turkey and Israel, installed. Meanwhile, the headchopper leader in Syria has unleashed his fascist goons to mass murder Alawites, Druze, and Christian minority populations without a word from the “exceptional” West. The US can attack Iran unprovoked and can murder Venezuelans in a speedboat and call them drug dealers to cover the crime. When criticized for breaking “international law”, the US vice president responded with: “I don’t give a shit what you call it.” The US can murder North Korean fishermen in a failed operation to spy on that country. The US can commit industrial terrorism, such as blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline and, without taking a breath, blame the victim of the terrorism, claiming Russia blew up its own pipeline. Western governments are run by literal sociopaths who loudly proclaim virtue as they disregard law, sovereignty, and human life.

Compounding all of this is a Western media propaganda apparatus that would make German Nazi, Paul Goebbels, blush with envy at the scale of its lies and its normalizing of the depraved behavior of its regimes. The Western public, ultimately, either accepts their governments’ racist argument of divine exceptionalism or is unaware of the depths of their depravity. Both options amount to the same ends: oceans of blood.
