Fascism
Characterized by
a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of
opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived
good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the
economy.
Fascism
rejects assertions that violence is inherently bad and views imperialism, political violence and war as
means to national rejuvenation. Fascists often advocate for the
establishment of a totalitarian one-party state, and for a dirigiste economy, with the principal
goal of achieving autarky (national
economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and economic
interventionist policies.
Fascism's
extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifests as belief in racial purity or a master race, usually blended with some variant
of racism or bigotry against a demonized "Other",
such as Jews. These ideas have motivated fascist
regimes to commit genocides, massacres, forced sterilizations, mass killings, and forced deportations.

Difference
Between Fascism and Socialism
Fascism is a dictatorial form of political ideology. Socialism,
on the other hand, is an ideology where individuals of a society own the means
of production. A fascist ruler wields supreme power and authority over a
country. In contrast, rulers of socialist nations distribute power and
authority among the states. Examples of Socialism are Social Security and Medicare.
-
A dictator does not tolerate any criticism, opposition, or
rebellion; freedom of speech takes a back seat. Compared to fascist regimes,
socialist states allow more freedom of speech. Dictators control industries;
but in socialist states, the ownership of the means of production lies with the
public sector.
