Fascism Test

What is fascism?

Fascism: in general, today all extreme right-wing political movements and ideologies that preach a dictatorial form of government are called fascism. Vivid signs of fascism are militaristic nationalism, anti-liberalism, anti-communism, contempt for elective democracy, a belief in the elite rule. Fascist ideology is characterized by racism and genocidal policies towards other ethnic groups.

After World War I, old political regimes collapsed, and new faiths did not win people’s trust. The rapidly spreading communist ideas became a threat to the ruling elites. At this stage of history, fascist ideology developed as an alternative to democratic governments that were not able to make quick and effective decisions.

Fascist ideas live in the heads of many people even in the modern world. They particularly manifest themselves in challenging times of economic and social crises. People expect action from the state to restore order, and sometimes they are ready to make compromises that violate human rights so that this order can be restored.
