Amazing that one has to give a dictionary definition to these clowns, but nevertheless.
fascist
(redirected from Facist)
Also found in: Financial, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia. fas·cism
(făsh′ĭz′əm)n.1. often Fascisma. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
2. Oppressive, dictatorial control.
[Italian fascismo, from fascio, group, from Late Latin fascium, from Latin fascis, bundle.]
Word History: It is fitting that the name of an authoritarian political movement like Fascism, founded in 1919 by Benito Mussolini, should come from the name of a symbol of authority. The Italian name of the movement, fascismo, is derived from fascio, "bundle, (political) group," but also refers to the movement's emblem, the fasces, a bundle of rods bound around a projecting axe-head that was carried before an ancient Roman magistrate by an attendant as a symbol of authority and power. The name of Mussolini's group of revolutionaries was soon used for similar nationalistic movements in other countries that sought to gain power through violence and ruthlessness, such as National Socialism.

High school?? I knew who and what the Nazi's were by 4th grade. Maybe because my father fought in WW2, and I'm an old dude, so they were teaching it to us at an early age in school, since it was sadly still not that long ago. The sick bastards who try to deny the Holocaust, or try and twist who and what the Nazi's were, to fit their own political agenda, are too sick for words.
conservatives run on tactics such as smaller government blah blah ah and the dopea fall for this crap time and time again. the conservatives do not downsize government by any means they just moce
it to another belief system!
Hitler called himself a "socialist" so itust be true. Idiots, the guy was a fascist nut job. JDuece is quick becoming the dumbest poster here. his racist motivations of late are sickening too.
The right down here already has the guy votes moat useless poster. I think Joe would be the craziest and now Duece is going for the trifecta as dumbest.
You cannot be serious. Oh, wait, you are. face)(*^%
I want limited constitutional government.
You want ever expanding statism.
Hitler was a statist. Hitler was NOT pro-market.
Whether you are living under communism or fascism it's the same shit: statism up your ass.
See? I'm in the grey-blue area - Hayek, Von Misses, Milton Friedman. These are economists I reference all the time, so WTF are you two poo-flinging babbling about? I have absolutely NOTHING in common with socialism/fascism/communism/progressivism
Look where you are: Fire engine red! There isn't a single part of life that you DON'T want the government involved in.
"Hitler was a righty!" :missingte
Hitler hated anyone who he deemed a threat to his twisted vision, lol. Dimocraps say anything to fool their voting sheeple because they know their voting block is littered with idiots...even Gruber said so himself, and you're one of them, lol. Conservatives reach out to anyone who wants to make a life for themselves instead of those who choose to remain among the worthless and weak, lol. Mitt Romney gave more to charity than the Stuttering Clusterfuck ever did, lol. And your pathetic party elevates murderers and rapists as champions of women's rights. Maybe we can do a remake of a different kind of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures? Lol.
Fucking pathetic drunk retard you are. Honestly, what does it feel like to get checkmated in every single argument of your life?
This is why education is so important for the future... without it, you get people like Sheriff Joe, Acebb, JDouche, Dave, Russ, festeringZit, etc. People that are easily driven by fear and lies. They just don't know any better. Like poor little children first trying to grasp what people mean by Santa Claus not being real.
