Fascism is form of government in which most of the country’s power is held by one ruler or a small group, under a single party. Fascist governments are usually totalitarian and authoritarian one-party states.
Common themes among fascist movements include:
- authoritarianism
- nationalism (racial nationalism and religious nationalism)
- hierarchy and elitism
- militarism
Other aspects of fascism such as perception of decadence, anti-egalitarianism and totalitarianism can be seen to originate from these ideas.
