Introduction Fascism is more than a relic of the past; it's a persistent threat that evolves and adapts to the modern world. To effectively counter it, we must first understand its underlying principles, manifestations, and appeal. This post unpacks the core features of fascism, its historical roots, and its present-day iterations, providing readers with the tools to recognize and address this ideology.
Defining Fascism Fascism is a political ideology characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism, suppression of dissent, and often, the glorification of violence. Historically, it emerged in the early 20th century, with figures like Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany epitomizing its ideology. Modern fascism may not always wear the same uniform but shares these core traits.
