an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Those are the kinds of definitions you get for the term.One makes you think the person has to be right of some political circle.They are both so broad and so narrow that they almost become meaningless and they are anchored by how its applied. Its open season. If the bureaucrats are in uniforms the leaders a fascist. Its a label for everything and nothing. From religion to ones boss to the Editor of a newspaper. Its just a word and there is really nothing finite about it.
