Anyone care to explain what exactly this means? I have done some minor research and I have figured out a basic idea what it means, but can someone explain this more?Basically, it is a system that uses a big fascist state to force people to think anarchy. But also in some cases, some believe that, even in anarchy, there should be one military force that regulates the stateless societies… anyone want to expand?
Anarchy is characterized by the absence of enforced authority. Fascism is characterized by an authoritarian collectivizing of economic and political powers under a national government, often via powerful dictators. Anarcho-fascism is nothing more than an impossible contradiction of terms.
Being that 99% of all political philosophy and terms are gleefully oblivious to any mechanics to human action and the workings of the world, it doesn’t matter. Almost all political philosophy states a bunch of schemes that we are actually non-cognitive to, but sounds “socially cool”, you’re going to get some wacky names. Anarcho-fascism (if the term is actually exists) is no more insane a term or concept than socialism, democracy, etc.
dont get me wrong, i think merging anarchy and fascism is absurd but these are not the answers I am looking for, I am not wanting an opinion or critique on anarcho-fascism, i want a further explaination of it…
I don’t think there is a further explanation. The two terms–and the beliefs that are ascribed to them–are contradictory to one another.

Wikipedia redirected me to this:

It seems like it’s more of a racially/ethnically based anarcho-syndicalism than anything. People have tacked on the term “fascist” becaues it has echos of the Nazi’s racial propaganda, so “anarcho-fascism” seems like a misnomer.

There is probably no answer to give. It doesn’t even have a wikipedia page, and being that every 3rd rate garage rock band and obscure comic book character do, that is kind of saying something It does have an uncylopedia page:

Really? Look at the post above you. 
Huh, I’ll be damned.
Anarcho-fascism sounds like a mischaracterization, much like the one this buffoon is peddling.
National-Anarchism is not the same as Anarcho-Fascism.
It’s unclear whether Anarcho-Fascism was ever a serious train of thought in anybody’s mind or was just satire.
Assuming it was, the basic idea is that Anarchism must be brought about through rigid authoritarianism; not as unorthdox as it sounds, since this is essentially what Communism aimed for. Though the “brand” of Anarchism which Anarcho-Fascism aims for is unclear. I’m assuming it’s probably some kind of Propertarian one.
You can’t just attach “anarcho-” to anything and have it mean something. Fascism is socialism is the antithesis of any kind of stateless society.
Just as you cannot attach “socialism” to anything and have it mean something, just as those early anarchist were socialists, etc.
Of course you can attach Anarcho and Fasism together. The ideology is that you bring about Anarchism via a totalitarian State, so it makes “sense” internally.
Likg I said, this isn’t as unorthodox as it first appears considering Marxian Communism aims for this.

Were you responding to me? If so, not sure what your point is - that I’ve misused the term socialism?
In a way, yes.
In a way, yes.
…and?
And?
And now you have to do something because the state.
And?
And if you were responding to my comment, suggesting that I was misusing “socialism,” then perhaps you would say why/how? Or not, just thought you might have something to say.
