Politics (Q&A)

Answer:

Fascism is a political ideology, marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socio-economic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Some features of Fascism:

• A single-party state which believes that the majority is unsuited to govern itself through democracy and by reaffirming the benefits of inequality.

• Fascist governments forbid and suppress openness and opposition to the fascist state and the fascist movement.

• Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalism and liberal democracies for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept.
