Quasi-fascism

Quasi-fascism refers to political movements or regimes that share some characteristics with classical fascism, such as authoritarianism, nationalism, and a focus on state power, but do not fully adopt all its tenets. These movements may emphasize control over society and suppress dissent while lacking the totalitarian structures of traditional fascist states. Quasi-fascism can manifest in policies that prioritize the interests of a particular group, often at the expense of others, and may appeal to populist sentiments without fully embracing extremist ideologies. Thus, it reflects a blending of authoritarian and populist elements without a complete fascist framework.
