2. fascism - social pathology characterized by longing for simplistic central government that may violently repress political opposition and violently oppress and scapegoat pacifists, homosexuals, and other nonviolent groups like drug users, and national, religious, or ethnic groups with fringe political power - social pathology, like crime or alcoholism, that functions as a disease, including contagion, of a social organism - why EU countries, Germany particularly, have campaign content limit laws, banning overtly fascist appeals. In the end, fascism's about brutalizing the politically weak or nonviolent, bullying or terrorizing them to gain the support, or at least acquiescence, of a weak-minded, resentful or frightened plurality. It's a useful tool for anyone seeking power.
Historically, fascist campaigns were populist, appealing to an ethnic plurality, and hateful, even genocidal, toward other groups. Backed by dark money of a rich, greedy few, these campaigns were heedless of harm they cause. As such, fascism's always been with us.
"The people ... can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering during the Nuremberg Trials

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." - attributed to Benito Mussolini, 1932
"We control political forces, we control moral forces, we control economic forces, therefore we are a full-blown Corporative state." - Mussolini, '32 Doctrine of Fascism.
"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - Franklin D Roosevelt, 1942
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." - attributed to Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951)
"Fascism is capitalism plus murder." - Upton Sinclair (1878-1968)

Get the fascism mug.Used in the SCRUM process, a popular in software development projects. Often estimates are given in story points, rather than days or hours. For some reason story points have to be a fibonacci number. At the same time a person are often given a limit of how many story points you can commit to in a given sprint. E.g. 8 story points per person in a two week sprint.
Scrum master: And how many story points do you think that one is worth?
Developer A: 3 - maybe a little more
Developer B: 5 - maybe a little less
Developer A: Lets agree on 4 story points then.
Scrum master: No can do. 4 is not a fibonacci number.
Developer A: Ah. come on.
Scrum master: You can pick 3 or 5.
Developer B: We are not putting up with the fibonacci fascism much longer ...

Get the fibonacci fascism mug.A reactionary movement by the privileged class (usually white people) against cultural progression. It starts as hatred for leftist culture (political correctness, diversity, fair distribution of resources) and grows as a political movement. This movement usually will push forward authoritarian leaders who will take that anger and fear to limit freedoms and consolidate power within the elite in the name of "security"(the wealthy, the corporations, the military, and the politically connected). Scapegoating a minority class (usually immigrants or people of different religious beliefs) will be used to deceive those who are not elite but believe they are being "attacked". History shows this movement goes one of two ways: pushing further right to eventual military dictatorship or oligarchy, or a revolt pushing left expanding powers and opportunity to all others.

Get the Fascism mug.A last ditch effort by the most extreme elements of the capitalist class to preserve their global criminal enterprises and dictatorship of capital from rising socialist working class movements.
Fascism applies an open and consistent dictatorship of capital doing away with any pretense of democracy under liberalism and implementing massive austerity measures against the general public via mass privatization schemes. Fascism utilizes hyper nationalism as a means of garnering support from the demoralized lumpenproletriat and elements of the petite bourgeois and bourgeois. However when the covers are peeled this facade of hyper nationalism is only utilized as a tool of bolstering ever greater capital accumulation upwards. Under fascism the internal contradictions found within capitalism are multiplied beyond reasonable limits and it produces a rotting corruption extending to all strata of public life.
Fascism is liberalism psychosis, fascism is hyper-capitalism wearing jackboots, fascism is capitalism in decay.

Get the FASCISM mug.A leftist fascist regime is one that forces tolerance for even the worst bullshit in society, such as casual sex, porn, drugs, gangs, even criminals, etc., often in the name of "someone's rights", ends free speech, and oppresses/dehumanizes people who are unable to fit in with the bullshit, by calling them names like "racist", "sexist", for example, or any other word that ends in "-ist" or "-obic", resulting in much suffering. This is similar to what is happening in America today.
Example of a regime of leftist fascism:
Person 1: Hey I hate porn. It's disturbing. I hate girls who do it. It causes people to get raped and sexually assaulted ...
Person 2: Fucking shut up, you SEXIST ASSHOLE!! Women have a right to express sexuality how they feel. If you hate porn, GO FUCK OFF with other garbage who also don't support women's rights like YOU!
