Questions of a minister in Africa

I know of a man who is from Africa, who ministers there and currently has a university there. A few years ago he gave a talk at a conference where he posed very difficult questions that are worth knowing:

- What do I do when my neighbors become my family's killers?

- What do I do when relatives are suffering with HIV/AIDS?

- When my land and my wealth are taken away?

- What is Freedom? Justice? Mercy? Shame? Guilt?

- Where is God when I suffer?

This man also explained:

"Suffering is part of life, or should I say part of the African ethos. The North taught us how to win, but you did not teach us how to loose. You taught us how to be strong, but you did not teach us how to be weak; you taught us how to smile and laugh, but you did not teach us how to cry and weep; you taught us how to give, but you did not teach us how to receive; you taught us how to live, but you did not teach us how to die. God is teaching us to how to live and how to die. The North can learn from us. It brings out endurance and patience, prayer, faith and worship; a thankful heart and simplicity in life."

How can you tell if a political movement is a form fascism?

Fascism is often used in talking about politics, and often seems to mean little more than "something I do not like". So the question is how can you tell if a political movement is actually fascist? I submit that a good first question would be:

How much does a movement embody the idea of "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." (Tutto nello Stato, niente al di fuori dello Stato, nulla contro lo Stato)?

This was a slogan of Mussolini and IMO captures an essential aspect of fascism.

(You may ask why I did not take a quote from Hitler. This is because no discussion of anything dealing w/ Hitler can be separated from his hatred and mass murder of Jews, nor should it be. This is why he is the most infamous of fascists. Talking about him would simply turn fascism into a synonym for hatred of Jews. Unfortunately, hatred of Jews is not uniquely fascist, and requires other questions.)
