"Totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism are all forms of government characterized by a strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression."
"Fascism is a complex and multi-faceted ideology that can manifest in various ways, making it challenging to pin down with a single definition. However, there are certain signs, traits, tactics, and behaviors that are commonly associated with it."
"For the most part this article is a summary of Britannica’s Fascism article. That article is a detailed, interesting, and valuable read. Unfortunately, because it is so long it can be a challenging read for many people. I’ve done my best to summarize the article here plus round it out a bit with material from other sources."
