Facism - a ruling system giving government nearly total control of all people and all things. People retain private property ownership, but the government tells them what to do with it. Examples were government in Germany under Hitler's 4th Reich and in Italy under Mussolini during World War 2. Nazism under Hitler.

Fascism
Pure fascism is rather rare. In fact, many scholars would call only Mussolini, Hitler and a few of their contemporary satellites fascist. In this case, it seems rather pointless to set up a whole category for a narrow subset of autocratic regimes which existed in a handful of countries for less than a single generation.
On the other hand, metaphorical fascism is quite common -- so common, in fact, that I've heard just about every regime in history denounced as "fascist" at one time or another. In this case, it's almost meaningless |
