Fascist socialization

Fascist socialization is a way of teaching people how to behave and think like a fascist. Fascism is a type of government where the leader has complete control and authority over everyone else.

Imagine you are playing a game with your friends but one of your friends wants to be the boss and boss everyone around. This is similar to how fascists want to be in charge of everything and everyone.

Fascists use different ways to teach people how to think and behave like them. They may try to control what people read, watch, and learn. They may also use propaganda or messages that are repeated over and over again to make people believe certain things.

Fascists also want everyone to behave the same way. They may force people to wear the same clothes, have the same haircuts, and do the same things. This is like when a teacher tells everyone in the class to sit still and listen to them.

In fascist socialization, people are taught to be loyal and obedient to the leader. This means they do not question what the leader says or does, and always obey their commands. This is not a good thing because everyone should be able to voice their opinions and make their own choices.

In summary, fascist socialization is a way of teaching people to think and behave like fascist leaders who want complete control over everyone else. It goes against the values of freedom and independence that we all deserve as human beings.
