CJ, The control exerted by the Central government is irrelevant as to whether it not a country goes fascist. Without control exerted by a strong central government, facism is next to impossible. So yeah, it is indeed relevant. Tenchusatsu

The control exerted by the Central government is irrelevant as to whether it not a country goes fascist. Without extensive central control you really don't have fascism. Well, I supposed you could have fascism on a sub-national level but fascism is more about the nation then lower sub units, and your the one who brought up "exerted by the central government", I just said "government control". Because the Leader doesn't use the authority of the government, but his own. His own as the leader of the country, as the head of the government. If he exerts control, its government control. Whether or not there is legislation that allows him to exercise his authority or will matters not. Exactly. Either way its government control, whether its from a dictator with the law allowing the dictator to have that power, or whether he does so in an extra-constitutional way. The fact that the government may be controlled by a dictator, doesn't mean its control isn't "government control".
