Branisteanu Respond to of 220172 very one to read and understand the meanings Way too many people confuse the meaning of Fascism – as an example China and Russia are fascist countries. Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultra-nationalism, in most cases, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and the economy that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe It is opposed to anarchism, democracy, liberalism, and Marxism,[5] fascism is placed on the far-right wing within the traditional left–right spectrum. Or according to Merriam Webster; Definition of fascism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascist) 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 with a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control are early instances of army fascism and brutality Nazism, the common name in English for National Socialism Movement (in German: Nationalsozialismus), is the ideology and practices associated with strong totalitarian leader and the Nazi Party in the Nazi nation. The later related term "neo-Nazism" is applied to other far-right groups with similar ideas which formed after the collapse of the Nazi regime. Nazism is a form of fascism, with disdain for liberal democracy and the parliamentary system. It incorporates between other disdain for the undefined citizens like; fervent antisemitism, anti-communism, scientific racism, and the use of eugenics into its creed. Its extreme nationalism like the one originated in pan-Germanism and the ethno-nationalist neopagan Völkisch movement which had been a prominent aspect of German nationalism since the late 19th century, or present Russian ultranationalist as an example, and it was strongly influenced by the indigenous paramilitary groups that emerged as example after Germany's defeat in World War I, from which came the party's underlying "cult of violence". Nazism subscribed to pseudo-scientific theories of a racial hierarchy and social Darwinism, identifying the nation adopting this ideology as a part of what for example the Nazis regarded as an specific master race (very similar to other nations). It aimed to overcome social divisions and create a homogeneous society based on racial purity which represented a people's community (Volksgemeinschaft). The Nazis aimed to unite all nationals belonging to the nation living in what is perceived their historically national territory, as well as gain additional lands for “the nation” expansion under the doctrine of Lebensraum and exclude those whom they deemed either Community Aliens or "inferior" races (Untermenschen). The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of socialism, as an alternative to both Marxist international socialism and free-market capitalism. Nazism rejected the Marxist concepts of class conflict and universal equality, opposed cosmopolitan internationalism. Only wonder how many nations today a fitting the above definition, as the above control of the masses comes in many flavors.
