Britt: 14 Characteristics of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Historian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Historian</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LawrenceBritt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LawrenceBritt</a> studied the fascist regimes of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hitler</a> (Germany), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mussolini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mussolini</a> (Italy), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Franco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Franco</a> (Spain), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Suharto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Suharto</a> (Indonesia), and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pinochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinochet</a> (Chile) and found they had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.1. Powerful and Continuing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nationalism</a> Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/patriotic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriotic</a> mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Flags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Flags</a> are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HumanRights</a> Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.3. Identification of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Enemies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enemies</a> / <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Scapegoats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Scapegoats</a> as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racial</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ethnic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethnic</a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/religious" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#religious</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/minorities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#minorities</a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/liberals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberals</a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communists</a>; <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#socialists</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/terrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#terrorists</a>… 4. Supremacy of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Military</a> Even when there are widespread <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/domestic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#domestic</a> problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.5. Rampant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sexism</a> The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gender</a> roles are made more rigid. Opposition to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abortion</a> is high, as is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homophobia</a> and anti-<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gay</a> legislation.6. Controlled <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MassMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassMedia</a> Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#censorship</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/secrecy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#secrecy</a> especially in war time, are very common. 7. Obsession with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalSecurity</a> Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.8. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Religion</a> and Government are Intertwined Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.9. Protection of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corporate</a> Power The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/industrial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#industrial</a> and business <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/aristocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aristocracy</a> of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.10. Suppression of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labor</a> Power Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unions</a> are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.11. Disdain for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Intellectuals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intellectuals</a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Arts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arts</a> Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/academics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academics</a> to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.12. Obsession with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crime</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Punishment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Punishment</a> Under fascist regimes, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#police</a> are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilLiberties</a> in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.13. Rampant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cronyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cronyism</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corruption</a> Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.14. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FraudulentElections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FraudulentElections</a> Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SmearCampaigns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmearCampaigns</a> against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/voting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voting</a> numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.This post is a summary of Fascism, Anyone? by Lawrence W.
