Fascism :
Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology (generally tied to a mass movement) that considers individual and other societal interests subordinate to the needs of the state. Fascists seek to forge a type of national unity, usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes. Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism,statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to economic and political liberalism.
Some of the governments and parties most often considered to have been fascist include Fascist Italy under Mussolini; Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, Spain's Falange, Portugal's Estado Novo, Hungary's Arrow Cross Party and Romania's Iron Guard. Some authors reject broad usage of the term or exclude certain of these parties and regimes. Following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II, there have been few self-proclaimed fascist groups and individuals. In contemporary political discourse, fascist has become a slur, used by adherents of some ideologies to describe their opponents.
Fascism attracted political support from diverse sectors of the population. In countries such as Romania and Hungary, fascism had a strong base of support among the working classes and extremely poor peasants. Other supporters have included representatives of big business, farmers, landowners, disaffected World War I veterans, small business owners, nationalists, reactionaries and extreme conservatives. Intellectuals who have supported fascism include: Giovanni Gentile (who ghostwrote the Doctrine of Fascism), Gabriele D'Annunzio, Curzio Malaparte, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Carl Schmitt and Martin Heidegger.
Thus, Fascism believes in use of Force.

Fascism is Solidarity enforced by Violence.
The emblem of the Fasces is a bundle of sticks (you cannot break these if they are thickly-bound enough) and an ax through the middle (for violence).
Any social group that persecutes individuals for the benefit of the group as a whole (and especially its governing Elites) is fascistic, by definition of the emblem.

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy. -- James Madison
'When the government fears the people it is a democracy....when the people fear their government it is tyranny...' --- Thomas Jefferson
Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.– Thomas Jefferson
The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. – James Madison
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. – Herman Goering
I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. – James Baldwin
Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. – Voltaire
The cry has been that when war is declared, all opposition should be hushed. A sentiment more unworthy of a free country could hardly be propagated. – William Ellery Channing
"if there be one principle more deeply written than any other in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest." -- Thomas Jefferson
Criticism in a time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government. – Sen. Robert Taft, (R) Ohio
Fascism will come wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible. ~ Sinclair Lewis 1935
"patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels." - Samuel Johnson
"If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied." -Thomas Jefferson
"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists." -J. Edgar Hoover, former head of the FBI
BEWARE THE LEADER WHO BANGS THE DRUMS of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know ? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

it form of feels to me that the God a guy or woman believes in says lots greater with regard to the guy than it does approximately God. some people look to have faith in a cranky, vengeful, petulant God. Others have faith in a great be certain in the Sky God. some deny that there is any God in any respect. some say God is Love. No, i don't think of believing in a God demands that this is a solid God, however many people insist that each and every person which is solid is God, and that each and every person which is evil is a devil or a devil. i think of if one specifies that the God is a author, then sure, it follows that each and every thing stands out as the creation of the author. i like dreaming's answer. i think of of "God" as "That it fairly is." i'm in basic terms a tiny drop in the great Ocean. i don't declare to appreciate the form of the coastline :-))

None of the above.
Fascism believes that the means to an end is more important than the end result. All routes to this end are open.
