Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian ultra nationalist political ideology
and movement characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression
of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy. It
typically involves a powerful, exclusionary nationalism centered on a
charismatic leader, and a belief in the nation’s or race’s superiority.
Fascism also involves the suppression of individual rights in favor of
perceived national interests, and the use of violence and militarism
to achieve its goals
