"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology defined by a dictatorial leader, the forcible suppression of opposition, and the regimentation of society and the economy.

It elevates the nation and often race above the individual, with a core mythos centered on national rebirth from a perceived state of decadence

Dictatorial leadership: A charismatic, autocratic leader heads the government, and their authority is considered supreme and unquestionable.

Ultranationalism: The ideology promotes an extreme form of nationalism that often includes a belief in the inherent superiority of the nation and its people. A sense of collective identity is paramount, and individual interests are subordinate to the nation's perceived good.

Militarism: Fascism glorifies military power and warfare as a means of national rejuvenation and expansion.

Forcible suppression of opposition: Fascist regimes systematically eliminate or silence political rivals and dissent through intimidation, violence, and state-controlled terror.

Scapegoating and outgroup demonization: A unifying cause is created by identifying and demonizing enemies, such as ethnic minorities, immigrants, or political opponents, and blaming them for the nation's problems.

Control of media and propaganda: The regime controls mass media to spread propaganda, manufacture consent, and suppress alternative ideas. Anti-intellectualism and disdain for free press are common.

Hierarchy and rejection of egalitarianism: Fascist ideology promotes a "natural" social hierarchy and rejects liberal democratic values, individual rights, equality, and pluralism.

Alliance with corporate power: Fascist regimes often cooperate with powerful business interests and suppress organized labor to achieve economic goals, while maintaining the appearance of a market economy.

Traditionalism and gender roles: The ideology champions conservative and traditional values, often reinforcing strict gender roles.

Rampant cronyism and corruption: The system is often run by a network of loyal associates who use government power to protect themselves, and loyalty is valued over competence."

Hilarious how Trumpers WHINE about being called Fascists, then run away from the definition.

#28

It's sorta like being a GW supporter; they all became "libertarians".

The definition of Fascism in #21 seems to have scared all those who WHINE about being called Fascists away.

I wonder why?
