Of, relating to, being, or imposing a form of government in which the political authority exercises absolute and centralized control over all aspects of life, the individual is subordinated to the state, and opposing political and cultural expression is suppressed.
A system of government where the people have virtually no authority and the state wields absolute control of every aspect of the country, socially, financially, and politically. Characterized by a government in which the political authority exercises absolute and centralized control.
Experts say fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen. This model of government stands in contrast to liberal democracies, which support individual rights, competitive elections, and political dissent.
In many ways, fascist regimes are revolutionary because they advocate the overthrow of existing systems of government and the persecution of political enemies. However, when it advances their interests, such regimes can also be highly conservative in their championing of traditional values related to the role of women, social hierarchy, and obedience to authority. And although fascist leaders typically claim to support the everyman, in reality, their regimes often align with powerful business interests.
Let’s unpack a few of these hallmark characteristics of fascist leaders and their movements:
Fascism is not defined by the number of its victims,
but by the way, it kills them.”
- Jean-Paul Sartre
"Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3,
while 1/3 watches."
-Werner Twertzog
“When evil-doing comes like falling rain, nobody calls out “stop!”. When crimes begin to pile up they become invisible.
When sufferings become unendurable, the cries are no longer heard. The cries, too, fall like rain in summer.”
— Bertolt Brecht, 1898-1956, German writer
“Let fascism find not even a single passage to power or else that poisonous snake will infiltrate into every vital corner of the country and kill the future of the nation!”
“The biggest mistake of a democratic country is to underestimate the power of a democratically elected pro-fascist leader because it is always easier to destroy a castle from within!”
“If a country has a fascist leader, this is a great horror for that country; but there is much greater horror: The existence of ignorant and unethical masses who support that primitive leader!”
“A country where people are afraid of even their shadows is surely a country of dictatorship! In such vile countries, there are two groups of people: The zombies, the living-dead who serve the dictator, and the rest, the clever and honorable people who fight for their freedom!”
“If a nation is leaving democracy and choosing fascism, it means that it is taking itself from a peaceful garden to a bloody slaughterhouse!”
“Totalitarian regimes hate thinking people because the thinking people spit on the borders created to restrict freedoms, and they cross that border without any hesitation!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan, all six
”Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that the State has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable. And so the evidence has to be internally denied.”
— Arthur Miller
“When Fascism came into power, most people were unprepared, both theoretically and practically. They were unable to believe that man could exhibit such propensities for evil, such lust for power, such disregard for the rights of the weak, or such yearning for submission. Only a few had been aware of the rumbling of the volcano preceding the outbreak.”
- Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom
