Would there have been any Hitler or Mussolini if all those princely states had still existed in German-speaking Europe or the Italian Peninsula? Of course not.
Nor would the BJP be on the rise if all those princely states still existed in India.
I have long struggled to see what all Fascist regimes or movements have in common with each other but not with anybody else. There is not much. But there is certainly allegiance to "the Reich" or "the Volk" as an abstraction, echoing Marxists' allegiance to an abstract ideology. Give me a person any day.
New Labour, New Tory and Lib Dem MPs, take note.
