The 14 characteristics of Fascism
Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote an article about fascism (Fascism Anyone?, Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20). Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
Instead of posting the first 4 paragraphs, I'm posting the 14 characteristics and leaving the meat of the article for y'all to peruse.
1.Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2.Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3.Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4.Supremacy of the Military
5.Rampant Sexism
6.Controlled Mass Media
7.Obsession with National Security
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined

10.Labor Power is Suppressed
11.Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
12.Obsession with Crime and Punishment
