emplay Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Does anyone think Fascism could be counted as an innovation that changed history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Not really, it's just an update of despotism mixed with little bits of socialism liberally coated with nationalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emplay Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Sounds tasty.I was going along the lines that it caused Germany and Italy to loose WWII the way the did because they didn't believe they could loose. If they were not Fascist they may have realized that they couldn't win and given up. And that would have been a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A centralised control system without checks means you can make some downright epic mistakes (because anyone who might know better would speak up, and get shot for insubordination!).
