I hoping to lessen my “fish out of water” feeling when I hear people reference groups or ideologies being socialist, facist, and even nationalist. I’ve always attempted to practice discernment but really haven’t had an interest or even a good base to practice any sort of educated discernment. I’ve taken some politics related classes in the university level, but didn’t ever really feel like they helped me understand these type bombs that get dropped all the time with the exception of just a broad definition. I’ll be honest, I really don’t know the true ideological difference between Communism and National Socialism. (Sadly it took me watching the later seasons of Peaky Blinders to realize I don’t know as much as I hoped I did). Can anyone recommend some books, series of books are fine, or even a few podcasts if that’s all you got to help me understand this stuff at a deeper level? I’d really love to read about the history of government types and how they evolved to current ideologies, for example how feudalism advanced systems in place, etc. Any and all related topics welcome. Thanks!!
