Fascism, centralization of authority,a dictatorship, in a capitalistic economy with heavy government controls and suppression of opposition in the form of liberalism, communism and conservatism .

But I don't think you are "authoritarian" but rather favor the magic capitalists running the show instead of the people. Thus that makes you a fascist because the meaning came from the situation of big business taking over government to run a country. Ask Donald Trump about that.

So the Pope doesn't live up to your fascist standards? Said like a true Marxist …which just proves my point. Following the defeat of the Axis Powers in World War II, the term fascist has been used as a pejorative word, often referring to widely varying movements across the political spectrum. George Orwell wrote in 1944 that "the word 'Fascism' is almost entirely meaningless ... almost any English person would accept 'bully' as a synonym for 'Fascist'". Richard Griffiths said in 2005 that "fascism" is the "most misused, and over-used word, of our times". "Fascist" is sometimes applied to post-war organizations and ways of thinking that academics more commonly term "neo-fascist". Contrary to the popular use of the term, Communist states have sometimes been referred to as "fascist", typically as an insult. Marxist interpretations of the term have, for example, been applied in relation to Cuba under Fidel Castro and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh. Herbert Matthews, of the New York Times asked "Should we now place Stalinist Russia in the same category as Hitlerite Germany? Should we say that she is Fascist?" J. Edgar Hoover wrote extensively of "Red Fascism". Chinese Marxists used the term to denounce the Soviet Union during the Sino-Soviet Split, and likewise, the Soviets used the term to identify Chinese Marxists and social democracy (coining a new term of "social fascism"). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : So the Pope doesn't live up to your fascist standards?

with a mixture of hope and trepidation: hope, because the Pope’s visit would force heavy media coverage of religious issues; trepidation, because of Pope Francis’ mixed record on issues ranging from climate change to illegal immigration. #yiv2156201326 #yiv2156201326 -- #yiv2156201326ygrp-mkp {border:1px solid #d8d8d8;font-family:Arial;margin:10px 0;padding:0 10px;}#yiv2156201326
