...The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone....
But empire demands discipline, the coordination of all forces and a deeply felt sense of duty and sacrifice: this fact explains many aspects of the practical working of the regime, the character of many forces in the State, and the necessarily severe measures which must be taken against those who would oppose this spontaneous and inevitable movement of Italy in the twentieth century, and would oppose it by recalling the outworn ideology of the nineteenth century
Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it. All other trials are substitutes, which never really put men into the position where they have to make the great decision -- the alternative of life or death

Fascism (play /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists seek rejuvenation of their nation based on commitment to an organic national community where its individuals are united together as one people in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood through a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education, and eugenics.[3][4
One party claims there are good Americans.
Fascism seeks to purify the nation of foreign influences that are deemed to be causing degeneration of the nation or of not fitting into the national culture.[5]
One party is anti immigration.
Fascism promotes political violence and war, as forms of direct action that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.
One party started two wars the last time they were in power. This same party set up free speach zones and there is pleanty of footage of them pepper spraying protestors for not agreeing with there party line. This same party outed a American spy because there spouse didn't support the lies this government was telling the American people. This same party funded faith based inititives.
Fascists commonly utilize paramilitary organizations for violence against opponents or to overthrow a political system.[
This party used Blackwater, a para militay private army in real war situations.
Fascism opposes multiple ideologies: conservatism, liberalism, and two major forms of socialism—communism and social democracy.[8]
This party also blames all of the problems of America on liberals even though these same fascist have been in countol of the country for the majority of the last 30 years.
Fascism claims to represent a synthesis of cohesive ideas previously divided between traditional political ideologies.[9] To achieve its goals, the fascist state purges forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.[1
This party has labled Muslims and Islam as enemies of our union, and your either with us or against us. They even labled the wars they started as crusades.
The fascist party is a vanguard party designed to initiate a revolution from above and to organize the nation upon fascist principles.[11] The fascist party and state is led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the party, the government and other state institutions.
George W. Bush attempted the ten steps to fascism described in the Naomi Wolf movie posted in this thread, but was unsuccessful.
Fascism rejects liberal democracy based upon majority rule and the parliamentary system but fascists deny that they are against democracy as a whole.[
Free speach zones. They attacked us because of our liberties. Look at all supreme court decisions since Bush's appointees.
Fascism condemns liberal democracy for basing government legitimacy on quantity rather than quality, and for causing quarreling partisan politics.
Look at the congress right wingers voted for in 2010 and look and see what they have acomplished.
Fascists claim that their ideology is a trans-class movement, advocating resolution to domestic class conflict within a nation to secure national solidarity.[15] It claims that its goal of social nationalization of society emancipates the nation's proletariat, and promotes the assimilation of all classes into proletarian national culture.[15] While fascism opposes domestic class conflict, fascism believes that bourgeois-proletarian conflict primarily exists in national conflict between proletarian nations versus bourgeois nations; fascism declares support for the victory of proletarian nations.[16]
Tax cuts for the wealthy, the futher disparity of the rich and poor.
Fascists advocate a state-directed, regulated economy that is dedicated to the nation; the use and primacy of regulated private property and private enterprise contingent upon service to the nation, the use of state enterprise where private enterprise is failing or is inefficient, and autarky. It supports criminalization of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers because it deems these acts as prejudicial to the national community.[17]
Look at what the right is attempting to do to unions accross the country. Look at the actions of the right and they are following complete fascisms and this thread is a sick joke!

The military is used as a tool for national rejuvenation (ahem... Iraq.. Afghanistan..) and is an integral part of a Fascist's economy (Military industrial complex)

I know, it's Clinton but he makes a good point:
Bill Clinton – as quoted by senior White House reporter Sarah McClendon in reply to why he wasn’t doing anything about UFO disclosure.
Sarah, there’s a government inside the government, and I don’t control it.

Fascism is actually a far left ideology.. the three main branches of Left ideology are Fascism, Communism and Socialism.
Unlike the OP I view the "moderate" Neoconservatives and the "moderate" Democrats as being Fascist.. Fascism has more to do with blending corporate and government goals together and working as one towards a common end: Controlling the population.

Fascism requires a very strong central government to provide in much the same way as a Socialist country, only it may do so through corporatized means (Obamacare.. health insurance industry etc) that will have a very strong relationship with the Federal Government.

We agree that fascism is a blending or corporations and government, this makes fascism being a left ideology a fallacy.

He may be correct. Really, there is nothing we (the little people) can do about the elite. They will bend with the winds, adjust how they make money, gain power and influence.
The part of government that does concern me is the government that directly impacts me.
The more impositions, freedoms taken away, the more that I'm affected and will fight against.

All pollitical ideology shares ideals and views the article said that.
Fascism draws from communism and socialism and marxism.
In the anarchist, Marxist and socialist sense, free association (also called free association of producers or, as Marx often called it, community of freely associated individuals) is a kind of relation between individuals where there is no state, social class or authority, in a society that has abolished the private property of means of production. Once private property is abolished, individuals are no longer deprived of access to means of production so they can freely associate themselves (without social constraint) to produce and reproduce their own conditions of existence and fulfill their needs and desires.
An inherent aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigisme, meaning an economy where the government exerts strong directive influence, and effectively controls production and allocation of resources. In general, apart from the nationalizations of some industries, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state. James A. Gregor, The Search for Neofascism: The Use and Abuse of Social Science, Cambridge University Press, 2006, p. 7

That is actually incorrect. Facism is a form of Socialism mixed with nationalism. not conservatism. the Nazi, party were a socialist ideology, and that is fact I am afraid.
Take a look at this map I made of a new political spectrum theory. Not just you left and right, but think 3D

That's my point Beez. It doesn't matter who's in "power". You see what's happening today. What about yesterday? The Patriot Acts. You can vote but does that matter in the Grand Scheme of THEIRS? What other avenues are there?
The goal of the fascists is complete control of the economy by the state.
