    Fascism = Bad right!? J/k

    Fascism takes many forms and uses many rhetorics. For me, I look for the signs like hyper-capitalism, wealth gaps, and the majority of policy written by/for the wealthy. This combined with feverish nationalism, obsession with security, militarism, scapegoating, and control of media.

    As Mussolini put it, fascism is just corporatism. I think modern day corporatocracy is the evolution of corporatism. So if your county is ruled by business interests, like most of the world, you probably are living in a country with fascist tendencies. Fascism is also a scale where you can see nations like the US with lots of fascism and places like Norway with much less fascism.
