A fascist state is led by a strong leader (such as a dictator) and a martial law government composed of the members of the governing fascist party to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. įascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. The war had resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing economic production and logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens. A military citizenship arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner during the war. The advent of total war and the total mass mobilization of society had broken down the distinction between civilians and combatants. įascists saw World War I as a revolution that brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state, and technology. Opposed to anarchism, democracy, liberalism, and Marxism, fascism is placed on the far right-wing within the traditional left–right spectrum. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Fascism ( / ˈ f æ ʃ ɪ z əm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
