Fascism /ˈfæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical
authoritarian nationalism,
[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of industry and commerce
[3] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
[4] The first fascist movements
emerged in Italy during
World War I before
it spread to other European countries.
[4] Opposed to
liberalism,
Marxism and
anarchism, fascism is usually placed
on the far-right within the traditional
left–right spectrum.
[5][6][7][4][8][9]
.... Since the end of
World War II in 1945, few parties have openly described themselves as fascist and the term is instead now usually used
pejoratively by political opponents. The descriptions
neo-fascist or
post-fascist are sometimes applied more formally to describe parties of the
far-right with ideologies similar to, or rooted in, 20th century fascist movements.
[4][18]
... Fascism in the early 1920s was influenced by both left and right, conservative and anti-conservative, national and supranational, rational and anti-rational.
[46] Fascism was founded during
World War I by Italian
national syndicalists who
drew upon left-wing organizational tactics and right-wing political views.
Some scholars consider fascism to be right-wing because of its
social conservatism and its authoritarian means of opposing
egalitarianism.
[47][48] Roderick Stackelberg places fascism—including
Nazism, which he says is "a radical variant of fascism"—on the political right by explaining: "The more a person deems absolute equality among all people to be a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum. The more a person considers inequality to be unavoidable or even desirable, the further to the right he or she will be".
[49]
Italian Fascism gravitated to the right in the early 1920s.
[50][51] A major element of fascist ideology that has been deemed to be far-right is its stated goal to promote the right of a supposedly superior people to dominate, while purging society of supposedly inferior elements.
[52]
In the 1920s the
Italian Fascists described their ideology as right-wing in the political program
The Doctrine of Fascism, stating: "We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right,' a fascist century".
