What does fascism mean? (my "check" paranthesis regarding Russia)
Experts agree that fascism is a mass political movement that emphasizes extreme nationalism (check), militarism (check), and the supremacy of both the nation and the single, powerful leader over the individual citizen (check).
This model of government stands in contrast to liberal democracies, which support individual rights, competitive elections, and political dissent. In many ways, fascist regimes are revolutionary because they advocate the overthrow of existing systems of government and the persecution of political enemies (check).
However, when it advances their interests, such regimes can also be highly conservative in their championing of traditional values related to the role of women, social hierarchy, and obedience to authority (check). And although fascist leaders typically claim to support the everyman, in reality their regimes often align with powerful business interests. (check)
