Hi Stephen P. King
The word "must" implies forcible persuasion.
Hi,
But the use of force to persuade is not the essence of fascism. Fascism is a
governing system where the population can own property privately but the use of said
property is dictated by the State. Most countries are fascistic.
Only because you've taken a single attribute of Fascism and taken it to be a definition.
Fascism is the idea that a nation is a kind of super-being in which labor, industry, and
government are *bound together into one* (hence the name) and the life of citizens takes
meaning from how they serve their function as an element of The State. This was further
taken to imply that superior, i.e. Fascist, nations should bring this superior culture to
other inferior, i.e. non-Fascist, nations by armed conquest.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the
merger of state and corporate power."
