Help, this is bothering me

[Cary]

My professor at the University of Illinois, the late Nunzio Pernicone, used a word to describe fascism and I am desperately trying to find or recall this word. Professor Pernicone asked what would happen if Hitler succeeded and wiped out all enemies. He used a single word to describe fascism, saying fascism needed to be in a constant state of war.

Any ideas on this word?

^snip^

So, what exactly is the difference between Despotism and Fascism? These two types of government are differentiated based on factors like definition, ideologies, characteristics, structure, etc. The widely used definition of Despotism is "A form of government in which a single entity rules with absolute power" whereas, Fascism is defined as "Government with the basis of a powerful leader."

18. I think I found it!

Subversive. Fascism is subversive. It has to be in a constant state of war against some group or another. This is how "conservatives" are. They have a rotating list of "kinds of people" they hate, and they always hate liberalism because it is degenerate.
