Fascism is: A fuzzy totalitarianism characterized by selective populism, contempt for the weak, fear of difference, obsession with plots, and a cult of tradition.
Umberto Eco
Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a
merger of state and corporate power.
Benito Mussolini
