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.
