Someone who believes that everyone should act the same and tries to enforce sameness on everyone at all costs.
Religious extremists are fascists.
Leaders of internet interest groups tend to be fascists by discouraging anyone who expresses any view that is not already agreed upon as "correct" by long-term members, and so those groups stagnate in the name of conformity.
Mussolini in Italy defined Fascism as his political party. It was also totalitarian and tyrannical and involved more defined topics.

In a nutshell, one who believes that everything is absolute, that the best way to reate a manageable society is to have one man/group/belief in control of all aspects of life, that opposition to this belief must be promptly exterminated, and that something (usually whatever opposes these aforementioned beliefs) is the reason for the problems in (your country here).
It is insulting to the millions that have died in fascism's various forms that the word fascist is bandied around so lightly here.

A totalitarian movement started and popularized by Benito Mussolini which, much like communism, stresses the state as the cure for societies problems.
What differentiates it from Communism is the focus on nationalism more than the workers.
Nazi Germany was inspired by fascist Italy, though there are some differences. Its Nationalism extends into racial superiority as a distinct tenant.
There is a misconception of Communism and Fascism being on different ends of the political spectrum, this is a myth created by the Soviets to brand enemies of the party (the fascists were competition).
Fascist and Communist states both supress the individual for the collective people, and in turn socialize health care, business (sometimes corporatism), and education.
Fascism is not inherently left or right wing but it shares its roots with modern liberal ideology, as well as in eastern spirituality (that's where Hitler got the swastika from) and marxism; not to mention a general disdain for all things Judeo-Christian (Il Duce, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao all had an equal hate for Christianity).
That isn't to say that there isn't right wing fascism...its just harder to find. The most famous fascists, Hitler and Mussolini, were definitely on the left side of the spectrum.

Either a republican or democrat, who ignores that during the second great american drug war we made our traffic court unconstitutional in order to target drunks on the highways, that was 36 years ago.Now we have a fascist government with an unconstitutional supreme court, committing Blitzkreig on poor citizens and poor countries, its too late to wake up and smell the coffee. Kiss your constitution good-by.
See George Bush 2 might be fascist,district or traffic court,and or the religiuos,legal, medical,educational bureaucracies with backs turned and mouths shut for 36 years. Fascism in government.
