Fascism
Description
Organizing society under a dictatorship, using violence to suppress opposition and characterized by anti-communism, and extreme nationalism and inequality of races. The state controls the economy and people's public and private lives. It is based on a mass movement of mostly middle class people interested in greater stability of the nation. Foreign policy is usually expansionistic. A strongly nationalistic regime characterized by regimentation, rigid censorship and suppression of opposition.
Claim
Fascism or Neo-Fascism appears when personal wealth and national wealth have both been reduced and are facing still further drastic cuts. It is the political right wing moved to endorse violence and the exploitation of the weak as the only perceived correctives to national disarray and decline or to the threat of communist subversion.
Counter-claim
Governments exist by permission of the governed, and in the long-run people do not continue to grant this permission for even the most compelling destinal vision, if its cost to personal freedom and integrity is too great.
