Fundamental characteristics of capitalism, fascism, and humanism

  

Fundamental characteristics of capitalism, fascism and humanism that surround us.

Here is the comparative table that globally synthesizes the three currents Capitalism, Nazism and Humanism structured by their main characteristics, fundamental criticisms and alternative solutions:

Our humanist group:

We are a group of humanists who communicate via email. This communication fosters personal growth—expanding knowledge and embracing diversity—for each individual and for the group as a whole.

As humanists, we prioritize people—every single individual across the globe—as well as truth, life, and love (along with their associated values), while opposing their opposites.

Truth encompasses both truthfulness and justice, standing in opposition to lies, falsehoods, and injustice.

We value human life as well as the natural world. We are committed to defending human life, dignity, respect, and well-being, as well as protecting nature; conversely, we oppose death (the life of any single person is worth more than all the flags in the world), aggression, violence, and disrespect toward individuals, as well as the exploitation and destruction of nature.

Regarding state policies and personal attitudes, three distinct pillars emerge—though two of them often tend to merge into one:

Capitalism

Fascism

Humanism.

In the real lives of peoples and individuals, capitalism and fascism are compatible and, more often than not, go hand in hand.

Humanism is incompatible with both capitalism and fascism. It clashes with capitalism because the latter prioritizes the perpetual growth of capital, money, and products—often at the expense of the well-being (and sometimes the lives) of workers and non-capitalists. It clashes with fascism because fascism shows no respect for—or even regard for the lives of—anyone outside its own group. Examples of this include genocides and "collateral" deaths (for instance, during the plot to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro ordered by the dictator Trump, Americans killed 30 people; yet that did not matter—the only priority was successfully abducting Maduro). Can a person or organization be both capitalist and fascist? Yes.
