The theory that an anarchic society, having no infringements, can and should be brought about through a harsh authoritarian state. It is believed that since the people don't come to this freedom on their own, it must be imposed on them.

A movement which attempts to enforce 'woke' views upon others via the use of intimidation, demonstrations, violence, shaming, cancelling, and other methods to silence discussion and dissent. Like other fascist movements the woke movement is intolerant of dissent and dismissive of actual facts and data. Like the National Socialist movement of pre-war Germany Woke Fascism identifies and oppressor group as the source of 'problems'. Similarly the use intimidation to prevent dissent and rational discussion drives an active move to silence free speech and contrary opinions, facts, and analyses.
Mike displayed his woke fascism when he organized a 'cancellation' of someone who disagreed with him.

1. Fascism - Italian historical phenomenon containing many elements of the following, including lies about its function, and...
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)

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.

Fascism Friday is a holiday that celebrates fascism. It is celebrated on the last Friday of the school year by wearing nice clothes and dressing up.
These celebrahtions may be considered disrespectful to some of those unnamed persons, but just tell them that you are expessing your political beliefs.

Islam, when fully implemented, is a system of government (the Caliphate), marked by centralization of authority under a dictator (the Caliph), stringent socioeconomic controls (Sharia law) , suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship (the system of dhimitude for Non-muslims) , and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism (Jihad) and racism (Islamic supremecy).
At the heart of the Islamic religion is the mandate to its believers to submit the entire world under the rule of Islamo-fascism.
