The belief that “the nation has lost its greatness, and it must be restored.” This is done by purging what they consider to be outside threats or corrupting influences and it usually restoration of a sort of “glory days”, a previous time in which the nation was united in “greatness”. For the Italian fascists, this was the Roman Empire. For the Nazis, this was the German Reichs. Fascism is essentially a synthesis of nationalist populism and social conservatism that is taken to the extreme.
