the non military is the further stretch random thoughts Send a noteboard - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM

There is no reason a fascist state could not be democratic even if they are very unlikely to have anything we would consider a democracy. But I don't see how you could have it be non military. Without the nationalistic military focus it would just be an oppressive flavor of socialism.
