the rise of the various tendencies that would come together to make fascism – militarism, corporatism, regimentation, nationalist chauvinism, plutocracy in populist guise, the call for “strong leaders” and “national greatness,” the glorification of conflict over commerce and of brute force over intellect – Well, that's a simple, clear definition, isn't it? Just remember where Mussolini and Hitler came from in their rise to power. The Socialist left. Syndicalism, communism and fascism all have the common root of collectivism: The concept that man is the property of the state. Which comes out of altruism: what is good for the group requires the sacrifice of an individual's self-interest. Hitler was not an intellectual, but his basic thinking was standing on the shoulders of Hegel, Plato and Kant. He constantly referred to Kant. The "nationalism" that the terms you listed above refer to are simply a method to power used by all totalitarian states. They are the process used to get to a collectivist state. The economic method that the left uses is control of the means of production. Fascism and communism simply use variants of the same method.
