DISINFO: Fascism is the core value of Europe
SUMMARY
Fascism is the core value of Europe, where the idea of superiority is the key concept. The West represents a deeply fascist civilisation that considers itself the best and entitled to any action. Russia must prepare for a fierce confrontation, not counting on compromises. The Russian Federation can realise a dialogue with the West only in the language of force.
RESPONSE
This repeated narrative presents Europe and the West as a Nazi/ Fascist civilisation that is Russophobic and aggressive towards Russia.
The European Union was set up with the aim of ending the frequent and bloody wars between neighbours, which culminated in the Second World War. The fascist ideology and the EU are based on opposite values and principles. Read more here.
The accusation of Nazism/ Fascism and building a link to Nazi Germany is one of the favourite techniques of pro-Kremlin outlets. Read earlier propaganda cases linking Nazi Germany “Drang nach Osten” concept and the current EU’s policies and our past analysis Nazi east, Nazi west, Nazi over the cuckoo’s nest.
See earlier disinformation cases claiming that the Euro integration is based on racial principles and has no difference from Hitler’s ideology; The EU is Hitler’s 'New Europe', its goal is to colonise Russia and Eurasian space and The EU is a "Fourth Reich", which wants to control whole Europe.
