User:Toussaint/African fascism

"African fascism" has many names: black consciousness, African socialism, Pan-Africanism. However, in their very nature, all of the grouops which assume these terms as descriptions for their intentions and goals tend to be intolerant to dissent, often violently.

It is intolerant to the minority, intolerant to the individual, intolerant to anything that may upset the sanctity of the motherland or the caretaker that governs it.

It is probably sickening to the unsuspecting reader that one would dare compare the movements which influenced the regime change which led to an "independent" Africa to an ideology that led to millions of deaths in Europe and Asia. However, what if this greater, more collectivist, less personalistic tendency in politics led to a rise in fascism in the Third World, particularly with the rise of anti-colonial movements and post-colonial states?
