Fascism

Fascism is a authoritarian nationalist political ideology. It advocates the creation of a class divided state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education, and family policy (such as eugenics). This state is not always led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the fascist movement as most usually assumed, in fact this is usually carried out by an Oligarchy who uses a Middleman to be Prime Minister, Chancellor or President, the government and other state institutions. Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition. 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 by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood, these ideals are often rooted in absolutely no facts, this was one of the main reasons why Hitler's Third Reich is commonly classified as fascist. Fascism promotes political violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality and a perfect example of this would be the United States attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan, it's shadow war with Pakistan and it's constant insinuations to war with Iran. Fascists view violence as a fact of life that is a necessary means to achieve human progress. It exalts militarism as providing positive transformation in society and providing spiritual renovation, education, instilling of a will to dominate in people's character and creating national comradeship through military service. Fascists commonly utilize paramilitary organizations for violent attacks on opponents or to overthrow a political system.
