There has been debate as to late as to what exactly this is. Some accuse the US of being fascist, the US actually openly calls many middle-eastern people "Fascist."
I would deny either accusation.
What is fascism? Please, choose the best answer - as I know that for most people several of these definitions would kind of bleed together.
1. An anti-socialist bulwork to protect capitalism. Ie, most Marxist's definition of the term.
2. Institutional totalitarian. A government, regardless of ideology, that has a lot of power.
3. Fanaticism. A group of people hell bent on an ideology.
4. Mercantilism. A modern form of mercantilism, that is, a relativly unsophisticated form of capitalism
5. Socialism. Fascism is the left at work.
6. Dictatorship. There is no substantial difference between fascism and dictatorship. When the power is invested largely in to a single leader, it is fascism.
That's all I can really think of, especially as I'm rather committed to the (very broadly stated) first option.
