A bunch of burgoise really abusing the Proletarians, like Stalinist communism (which is nothing but a big sell out of the Proletarians to the Burgoise) and Laissez Faire only one thousands times worse. Thank god we kicked their asses in WWII. Also, most are racists and imperialists. The PATRIOT act is trying to revive this.
A national leader that CONTROLS most major industry(e.g. automakers and related business) and financial firms. Said leader also uses false propaganda and various "crises" to increase his/her power and to render opposition powerless. A fascist dictator will also redistribute wealth to his/her own uses. Usually involves close alliance between government and large businesses and financial firms. Said dictator is most often deposed through violent methods. Any and all opposition is usually removed through the use of lies and carefully planned wording(i.e "rascist,""unpatriotic,") Unfortunately, the United States is getting its first real taste of fascism right now.
