Fascism
(redirected from Facist)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Fascism
A political system characterized by extreme nationalism. When it emerged in the early 20th century, it rejected both left-wing and right-wing thought and advocated a system in which the citizens of a nation work together for a common goal (usually under the command of a strong leader). Fascism is noted for corporatist economic policies, in which interests of the state, businesses and workers cooperate to set policies. It is strongly associated with racism and/or expansionism.
