FASCISM
He is an interesting video I found about explaining a little bit of history about fascism and how it has differed in different countries.
The Google definition of Fascism:
"An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization."
After doing research about Fascism, I have realised how infamous the definition of this particular word is. "Frustratingly, I can't give a simple definition."
-Kevin Passmore
Info from sources below: Fascism differentiates within different countries. Fascism in Germany won't be the same as Fascism in Japan. The regime is always different. Also some Fascism movements do not support anti-Semitism (other than the obvious Holocaust happenings.) George Orwell believed that we would not get a definition of 'true' fascism for some time, "Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway."
Fascism is, generally, thought as a right wing ideology, but in actual fact, in terms of fundamental goals and ideals, they are completely opposed. Fascism, at its roots, is the process of rebirth, a new state. Contradicting with right wing views of preserving a "status quo" and the stability of a traditional order.
