Fascism is a radicalist right-wing totalitarian ideology. It is also heavily associated with nationalism and other forms of supremacy.
Fascism was first used in Italy, with the rise of dictator Benito Mussolini. It then split off into many sects, such as the National Socialism of Hitler and his Aryan race, Romanian Fascist ideologies, and Francoism (practiced in Spain)
The word "Fascism" was coined from the Roman punishment tool labeled as a Fasces. (Fa-Shee-sz) which was used to beat insubordinate soldiers. The main idea behind the creation of the Fasces, however, was the Roman ideal that one stick was weak, but a bundle of them held by a strong center was unbeatable.
National Socialism[]
Coined by Hitler and his followers, this sect is heavily Aryan-focused, Anti-Semite, and Sexist. This sect supports the idea of a master race, whether it be what is considered plain "White" or the more specific "Aryan". This type generally hinges on anti-jewish sentiment in the modern media.
Italian Fascism[]
Contrived by Benito Mussolini, this ideal has a generally "Roman" feel to it within Italy, but outside of Italy they all have their own characteristics. Italian Fascism isn't known for having any Nationalist sentiment, with the Mussolini himself saying
"I agree with you entirely. I don't believe a bit in the stupid anti-Semitic theory. I am carrying out my policy entirely for political reasons."
Romanian Fascism[]
A proto-christian, semi-nationalistic, fascism, it is often actually used, unbeknownst to the user, in it's lighter form. It was known as the "Legion of the Archangel Michael" (Iron Guard). It also took part in Anti-Romani and Magyarphobe sentiment.
This is normally used by Fascist Christians and Catholics under the guise of simple Italian or National Socialist Fascism. This kind usually brings in a pseudo-theocratic Autocracy. For most under this style of Fascism, The Faith (capitalized) was life. Life was The Faith. Many of the members actually prefered Italian Fascism with Theocratic systems rather than National Socialism.
