In the 20th Century, some politicians and political scientists started promoting something called fascism as a possible alternative to Communism (note that Communism and fascism have never proven to be mutually exclusive, and indeed fascists movements have usually embraced Communism, or they use something else deemed to be politically trendy at the time). Fascism emerged as a kind of forced and hyperactive patriotism coupled with draconian rule-making. No, I do not know why this seemed even possibly viable to anyone, but probably because no one had tried it yet (and therefore inevitably failed at it yet). It requires mass media, and a truly irritating amount of government micromanagement over the content of mass media.
Fascism makes for terrible neighbors. It makes leaders particularly miserable as compared with any other system of government.
The word fascism comes from a term for a battering stick made of smaller sticks tied together called a fascio. You can see it used in 20th Century fascist Italian iconography.
Fascism is a battering stick. It injures much where it finds room to land.
Fascism is like “does not play well with others” writ large and corrupt and violent. The world cannot tolerate it.
