Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. ...
Fascism is a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government. ...
Fascism is a form of extreme right-wing ideology that celebrates the nation or the race as a complete community leaving behind all other loyalties. ... To this day, fascism calls for a spiritual revolution against signs of moral decay such as individualism and materialism, and seeks to purge alien forces and groups that threaten the complete community. Fascism also tends to celebrate masculinity, youth, mystical unity, and the regenerative powers of violence. ... Usually, fascism forms open male supremacy, though; sometimes it may also promote female unity and new opportunities for women of the privileged nation or race.
The approach from Fascism to politics is both populist, in that it seeks to activate the people as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies, that it treats the peoples will as embodied in a select group, or often one supreme leader, from whom authority proceeds downward. Fascism seeks to make a movement to seize state power. ... Both as a movement and a regime, fascism uses mass organizations as a system of integration and control, and uses organized violence to suppress opposition, although the scale of violence varies widely.
Fascism may not be a lot like Marxism, liberalism, and conservatism, though it borrows concepts and practices from all three. Fascism rejects the principles of class struggle and workers internationalism as threats to national or racial unity, yet it often exploits real grievances against capitalists and landowners through ethnic scapegoating or radical-sounding conspiracy theories. Fascism rejects the liberal doctrines of individual autonomy and rights, political pluralism, and representative government, yet it advocates broad popular participation in politics and may use parliamentary channels in its drive to power. Its vision of a "new order" clashes with the conservative attachment to tradition-based institutions and hierarchies, yet fascism often romanticizes the past as inspiration for national rebirth. Fascism is interesting in the way it has a relationship with established elite’s and the non-fascist right. ... In practice, fascism defends capitalism against instability and the left, but also pursues an agenda that sometimes clashes with capitalist interests in significant ways. There has been much cooperation, competition, and interaction between fascism and other sections of the right, producing various hybrid movements and regimes.
