Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology that revolves around a strong, charismatic leader, extreme nationalism, and tight control over society. Think of it as a political system that wants to be your parent, your boss, and your military commander all at once without your input.

It first showed up in early 20th-century Europe, most famously with Mussolini in Italy and Hitler in Nazi Germany. The Nazis added racism and genocide, but the two countries were similar, both dictatorships, a personality cult, an obsession with national or racial "purity," and a belief that violence, especially by the military, is a legitimate  tool to control citizens.

Fascists want to run every part of society; the media, education, religion, even art. They stir up fear, promise to restore national greatness, and blame society’s problems on internal traitors or outside threats. 

Fascism is a blend of dictatorship, nationalism, militarism, and the suppression of dissent, all aimed at creating a unified, obedient society.
