In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death
1. The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the cult of tradition.

2. Traditionalism implies the rejection of modernism (The Enlightenment).

3. The rejection of modernity and embrace of irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake.

4. For Ur-Fascism, disagreement is treason.

5. Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference.

6. Ur-Fascism derives from individual or social frustration (especially of the middle class).

7. To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country.

8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies.

9. For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle. Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy.

10. Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology, insofar as it is fundamentally aristocratic, and aristocratic and militaristic elitism cruelly implies contempt for the weak. Ur-Fascism can only advocate a popular elitism.

11. In such a perspective everybody is educated to become a hero. The Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death.

12. Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters.

13. Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism. For Ur-Fascism, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a monolithic entity expressing the Common Will.

14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.
