Fascism is a form of government in which the country and state are put above the individual. Where one most work hard for the soul purpose of his country and his country men.
The problem I have is that people often think Fascism is Nazism. it is quite the other way around. Hitler was a fascist true, but that doesn't mean that every fascist most kill the jews and be totalitarian. Mussolini, for example, had a pretty good approval rating. Hitler over shadowed Mussolini's acceptional leadership by having fascist Italy join them in the second world war. Italy only joined in for the fine machineary and the hope for a second Roman Empire ( which failed ). Japan was a fascist like empire but they had no history of persecuting the Jew ( if they had any jews to persecute.) and if they did, it was because of Nazi pressure.

Ah and COMMUNISM AND FASCISM ARE TWO DIFFERENYT IDEALOLOGIES! SO BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT COMMUNISM BEING SIMILAR TO FASCISM, THINK AGAIN!
in the most basic sense, facism is a goverment that treats the state like a business. and businesses tend to have more grisly practices than a goverment.
