@blackwatchgroup9194 : Because for some reason they hated individu alism, for them it was a mark of selfishness. They wanted the Sta te to be and to provide everything a person needed in their life. They were hard core statists.
"Anti-individualistic, the Fas cist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liber alism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liber alism denied the State in the name of the individual; Fasc ism reasserts The rights of the State as expressing the real essence of the individual. And if liberty is to he the attribute of living men and not of abstract dummies invented by individualistic liberalism, then Fas cism stands for liberty, and for the only liberty worth having, the liberty of the State and of the individual within the State. The Fas cist conception of the State is all embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value. Thus understood, Fasc ism, is totalit arian, and the Fas cist State - a synthesis and a unit inclusive of all values - interprets, develops, and potentates the whole life of a people."
