What are the features of fascism? |
| Answer» Fascist regimes have these seven characteristics:\tUsurpation: The state overtakes and merges with corporate power and sometimes the church.\tNationalism: Leaders appeal to a nostalgic wish to return to an earlier golden age. That can include a return to a simple, virtuous pastoral life.\xa0\tMilitarism: Leaders glorify military strength through propaganda.\tFather figure: A leader assumes the role of the father of the nation. He creates a cult status as a "dauntless ruler beholden to no one."\tMass appeal: A leader claims that the people, manifested as the state, can achieve anything. If they don\'t succeed, it\'s because of naysayers, minority groups, and saboteurs.\tGovernment surveillance: The government takes an active role in suppressing dissent. It rewards people who report on each other.\tPersecution: The state violently persecutes minority groups and opponents. | |
