Ok, I'll admit: I just made this up. What I basically did was take an empty political compass and drew in the spots where my ideology is, what political systems are most compatible, least compatible. Here it is below:

Light Blue = My ideology
Medium Blue = Systems that are compatible with my ideology
Dark Blue = Systems that are somewhat compatible with my ideology
Grey = Systems that are not very compatible with my ideology
Dark Red = Systems that are incompatible with my ideology
Pink = Systems that oppose my ideology

I think this system can have its merits -- instead of describing a single ideology, it describes your leaning relative to all of the possible major ideologies. What is your political contour?

Sorry for the bad explanation. I typed this up in 90 seconds.

Fascism is an extremist reaction against democracy, pacifism, and socialism. Therefore it occupies the upper right corner.

Mussolini wrote:Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. It thus repudiates the doctrine of Pacifism -- born of a renunciation of the struggle and an act of cowardice in the face of sacrifice. War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have courage to meet it.



Mussolini wrote:Fascism [is] the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism, the materialist conception of history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production.... Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism



In practice fascism has been accompanied by run-away capitalism (Don't tell me that Hitler was a National Socialist, he dropped most of the socialist elements from his party in the years before his election and he vowed to fight communism).

Mussolini wrote:After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or in its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern by means of a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of mankind, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage
