Futurism and Fascism – Can You Be a Futurist Without Fascist Or Socialist Tendencies?
Those individuals which do a lot of thinking about the future, often associate themselves with the title of futurist. What many people do not understand is that futurism, socialism, and fascism are actually tied together with many historical examples. Still, one has to ask can you be a futurist without being a socialist? This is a very interesting point, and there is a group called the Futurists in the United States and most of the people in the group do hold socialist views. Many of them classify themselves as Democrats or liberals, but they really are not liberals by strict definition, as most truly are socialist leaning and they wish to put controls on to the society and get everyone thinking a certain way to live together in harmony, yet at the same time they often negate all the human characteristics of mankind. The group itself uses many socialist type controls and promises people who join the group that they will teach them how to think correctly to solve problems for the future
