FASCISM

The word Fascism comes from ancient Roman symbols of authority called 'fasces'. Fascism is a form of government headed, in most cases, by a dictator. It involves total government control of political, economic, cultural, religious, and social activities.

Fascism resembles Communism. But unlike Communism. which calls for the government to own all industry, fascism allows industry to remain in private ownership though under government control.

Other important features of fascism include extreme patriotism, war-like policies and persecution of minorities.

The word 'fascism' also describes any governmental system or political belief that resembles that of Benito Mussolini who ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943.
