fascist ideology
Ultranationalist authoritarian doctrine
Fascist ideology centers on authoritarian nationalism—the belief that a strong state led by a powerful leader should subordinate individual rights to national unity and glory.
It typically embraces militarism, rejects liberal democracy, and defines the nation against perceived enemies, whether ethnic minorities, leftists, or foreign influences.
The term now applies loosely to any politics seen as authoritarian or intolerant: Critics accused the administration of embracing fascist ideology.
