What is fascism?

Literally just ultra-nationalism mixed with totalitarianism.

Fascism is Power + Prejustice

Historians, political scientists & various other scholars who have ties to fascism have yet to, & likely never will, establish a uniform, universally agreed upon definition of it. They have agreed on some of fascism's core tenants/principles, however. Nearly all definitions include something along the lines of this: Fascism is an ideology, a movement, that is nationalist, authoritarian & totalitarian in nature. It has the goals of creating a regulated economic structure in order to transform social relations within a modern culture. It advocates for the mass mobilization of society under a one-party state with a single leader; it has a positive view of violence; it promotes masculinity, strength, youth & charismatic actions/leadership. Fascists have imperial ambitions, support the idea of a military citizenship in which all members of society have the obligation to involve themselves with the military in some manner, support the idea of total war, & reject the ideal of "perpetual peace" as a false God, along with democracy, communism, liberalism & conservatism. Satisfactory?

I doesn't have a fixed formula, a basic structure.
Some organized in the basis of Italian Fascism, but others like Brazilian Integralism mixed Trotsky ideas of workers communes and representative means of republicanism.
I was thinking about a definition but I don't think what I thought is correct but goes by the definition might come by the lines of:"An ultimate call of middle and poor class citizens of a nation that seek to protect themselves and their culture"

Nowadays it just means whatever a person doesn't like, even if it is contradictory or the opposite to the political ideology invented by Benito Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile during the early 1900's.

Fascism being hard to define is a part of the ideology itself. Its core tenet is an unyielding willingness for brutal action and violence when faced with a problem. Fascism prefers improvisation over adhering to a list of ideological rules and approaches.

Other than that it is nationalistic, totalitarian and values the nation over the individual. Fascist economy is imagined as being different from both socialism and capitalism, it is corporatist and in service to national goals, especially military ones.

If Fascism isn't non-internationalist socialism, what the hell is non-internationalist socialism? I think the idea of a government chosen by election that acts to secure the interests of its citizens even when it goes against the free market but simultaneously refrains from intervention in foreign affairs is valid enough to have a word attached, but I don't think there is one out there besides "fascism". Even social democratic governments often demand internationalist stances.

Authoritarian nationalism. Deep down everyone is essentially a fascist. Libtards don't protest wars in the middle east out principle they protest them because they won't benefit them in a readily apparent way. Imagine Bush took Iraq's oil to fund single payer healthcare and universal college education for free. Food for thought.

Read Robert O Paxton's "The Anatomy of Fascism", it's a great comparative study. Unfortunately it hasn't been adapted to youtube for the /his/ market.

Here you go. This contains the three most important essays on fascism (Mussolini's Doctrine of fascism, Gentile's philosophic foundation of fascism and Rocco's Political doctrine of fascism) and two essays on national socialism (one very nice academic essay filled with quotes and one essay by an admittedly litteraly who nazi).
