Portal:Fascism/Intro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fascism is a radical authoritarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-Anarchism, anti-Communism, and anti-liberalism.
The original Italian Fascist movement ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. In time, the generic term fascism came to cover a class of related authoritarian political ideologies, parties, and political systems, such as Nazi Germany, Hungary's Arrow Cross Party, Romania's Iron Guard, Spain's Falange, Portugal's Estado Novo, Croatia's Ustaše, the French political movements led by former socialists Marcel Déat and Jacques Doriot, and others.
