Comments

"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."
