Just looking to find out different interpretations of Fascism, do you like it? yes or no? what do you believe it means/why? I have studied this all year, and have surprising conclusions, but I would like to hear other opinions first. If anyone knows what it means as well.

Caught that, thought I was posting the topic there, it's quite late, so yeah, I'm a bit tired. I also didn't expect it tonight.

I will move it o3o


I believe that any "extreme" form of government is probably more than people want.

Fascism is supposedly super-extreme right-wing...ism.

Well
Isn't fascism a military run state?
Really, that's all I remember learning: Military State (total control is TOTALitarianism) lol

Thank you! So sorry, it's very late here, I swear I clicked the new topic button in serious discussions XD

Hmm, I have also always heard it as right wing, interesting.

There can be a militaristic element, but not always necessary. lol, it isn't totalitarianism, but it is often closely associated.

Not really associated
As more in they usually use that type of rule
Really?
I thought the definition of Facism was military government
That or using extreme nationalism and pride

You can socialist fascism, you CAN have totalitarian fascism (hence, closely associated) you can have democratic fascism, and even progressive fascism. It can be very interesting if you look at the origins of fascism, just to note.

General warning to all, please do not confuse Nazism and Fascism, although they can both find roots in the same place, there are key differences...anti-semetism is a glaring difference.

It can be militaristic, but that too is a style, usually found in totalitarianism, but the style of fascism denotes the actions.

Fascism;

:adjective:

a person who rules a country that pretends to be tough by invading countries nowhere near it where the people fight back with, quite literally, spears. (note: love to do this in front of people with suspicious mustaches to attempt to gain prestige)

What exactly is Fascism?
I've ne'er had it clearly defined, and it seems more like an umbrella term for any enemy's form of government.
