Fascism

Fascism is a political ideology characterized by authoritarianism, nationalism, and the belief in a strong, centralized state often led by a dictatorial leader. It seeks to create a unified society by promoting national pride and suppressing dissent, often invoking a mythic past. Fascism rejects liberal democracy and promotes collective strength over individual rights, sometimes leading to militarism and expansionism. In terms of utopianism, fascism envisions a perfect society achieved through strict control, but it often leads to dystopian realities marked by oppression, violence, and the loss of personal freedoms.
