describe authoritarian nationalist political ideologies or mass
movements that are concerned with notions of cultural decline or

strength and purity. Fascists promote a type of national unity
that is usually based on (but not limited to) ethnic, cultural,
national, racial, and/or religious attributes. Various scholars
attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the
following elements are usually seen as among its integral parts:
nationalism, militarism, anti-communism, totalitarianism,
statism, dictatorship, class collaboration, economic planning
(including corporatism and autarky), social darwinism, populism,
collectivism, autocracy and
