~Fascism ~

Definition + origin
Fascism is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.
Fascists seek to rejuvenate their nation based on commitment to
the national community as an organic entity, in which individuals
are bound together in national identity connections of ancestry,
culture, and blood. To achieve this, fascists purge forces, ideas,
people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and
degeneration

Although fascism is considered to have first emerged in France in
the 1880s, its influences have been considered to go back as far as
Julius Caesar. Thomas Hobbes, Niccol Machiavelli, and Hegel have
also been considered as influential, as well as contemporary ideas
such as the syndicalism of Georges Sorel, the futurism of Filippo
Tommaso Marinetti, the nationalist and authoritarian philosophy of
Oswald Spengler and the conservatism and social Darwinism of
Enrico Corradini.
Key points/aspects of fascism
Fascists advocate the creation of a totalitarian
single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of
a nation through indoctrination, physical education,
discipline and family policy (such as eugenics). That
state is led by a supreme leader who exercises a
dictatorship over the fascist movement, the
government and other state institutions. Fascist
governments forbid and suppress opposition.
Fascism opposes class-based identity and society, it is
thus both anti-bourgeois and anti-proletarian; and
individualist based identity and society
