Fascism is not allowing laws or social structures to get in the way of corruption. Nazism is the most complete form of fascism.

Fascists/Nazis sacrifice everything in existence for something. The question is, what is it that they sacrifice everything for?

Is there anything Nazis do not sacrifice for their purpose? There isn't. Nazis would sacrifice their own military personnel sending them into impossible blizzards in the wintertime to attack Russia, when they had no ability to succeed. It was more than stupidity; it was wanton disregard for the lives of the persons involved.

That means the cause that drives Nazism cannot be located in material or social phenomena which can be objectively defined. The driving force resides in subjectivity.

Objective reality is that which originates outside a person's mind. Subjective reality originates inside a person's mind. The driving force of fascism or Nazism is located in the subjectivity that originates inside of minds but cannot be located in the objective realities that originate outside their minds.

Corruption can be defined in terms of the result, which is destructivity or that which destroys life. But it has a subjective origins, which can be defined as the assumption that to prevail against other persons will solve a person's problems. To prevail against other persons causes objective destructiveness.

To prevail against other persons requires degradation. To gain from degradation is exploitation. So the four basic elements of corruption are domination, degradation, exploitation and oppression. Oppression is not allowing anyone to oppose the process.

All elements of corruption are manifestations of domination. Jealousy is feeling threatened by the betterment of others. Corrupters set themselves up for jealousy by assuming they are superior persons, so any sign of inferiority sets them on fire. Bigotry is the assumption that power is virtue, because it takes power to succeed at dominating.

The point that all corrupters have in common is at the starting point that causes them to assume prevailing against other persons will solve their problems. Corrupters draw that conclusion because of their inability to succeed under normal, constructive conditions. They decide to defy what is known to be right as the answer to their problems.

The reason why is what all corrupters have in common. They decide to defy what is right and constructive, because they can never get where they want to be under conditions which are right and constructive. From their perspective, what is right and constructive forces them to be losers where they want to be winners. Defiance is needed to overcome the insurmountable obstacles to being winners.

So the starting point of corruption could be described as the need to defy what is right to prevail and be winners. That underlying motive is what all corrupters have in common.

Fascism is the socialization of that motive. Socialization means a large number of persons collaborate (conspire) to promote that motive with a degree of success that creates social problems. What the persons have in common is the motive of prevailing to succeed at being winners by destroying the laws, social structures and rationality that prevent them from being winners.
