Fascism is a form of authoritarian ultranationalism characterised by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[1] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[2]
The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.
Opposed to Liberalism, Socialism, Communism, and Anarchism, Fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional Left vs Right political spectrum.[3]
