Smartass. Alright(one l), then. Let us continue.
Quote:well, there seems to be no distinct definition of that. Which kind of might be the point here. Nationalistic, authoritarian, these are sure necessary things to be defined as fascist, but apart from that it's not an ideology, but to me seems to be the absence of a clear-cut ideology. A Fascist has the will to rise to power, without any distinct flag but the one of his own persona. He uses force and probably oligarchs to reach power and then governs as a superior human being with superior, "healthy" ideas reigning over lesser individuals. A hierarchy and leader cult propped by force, if you will.
I think hard core nationalism, as stated earlier by others, is a more necessary component. Essentially, the autocratic, surveillance society, police state we would be the hard core of a fascist system. In that sense it knows no ideological bounds.
