Main Entry: fas·cism
Pronunciation: 'fa-"shi-z&m also 'fa-"si-
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Many RWE qualify

The idea is to limit debate by controlling others:"forcible suppression of opposition"
Also, hoping that your fellow RWE will agree with you is very important. Otherwise, they fear becoming the controled. rather than the controller. It's based on fear.

Secrecy and propaganda are the primary tool of government control in the Information Age. The government must control the debate.
