Fascism, pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/, comprises a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology[1][2][3][4] and a corporatist economic ideology.[5] (Corporation: the authoritarian government)
Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[6] (Party of God!)
Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak.[7]
Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.[8]
Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalist liberal democracies for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept.[9]
Fascism is much defined by what it opposes, what scholars call the fascist negations - its opposition to individualism[10], rationalism, liberalism, conservatism, capitalism, and communism. [11][12]
In the economic sphere, many fascist leaders have claimed to support a "Third Way" in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control ofstate communism.[13][14]
This was to be achieved by a form of government control over business and labour (called "the corporate state" by Mussolini).[15][16]
