Fascism
An ultranationalist one-party dictatorship built on a leader cult, militarism and the suppression of opposition. It led to devastating wars and atrocities in the 20th century.
Associated with: Mussolini’s Italy and allied movements of the 1930s.
Fascism sits in the left-authoritarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly state-led and strongly authoritarian. The clearest positions are strongly authoritarian on liberty and authority, strongly nationalist on nation and strongly strength-first on war and peace.
