Wikipedia has different definitions (example below). I don’t know where you get your definition from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

“a genus of political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultranationalism”




http://marxism.halkcephesi.net/Antonio%20Gramsci/1924/11/dem...

"[F]ascism and democracy are two aspects of a single reality, two different forms of a single activity: the activity which the bourgeois class carries out to halt the proletarian class on its path[.]"


Yeah, well, I'll actually believe Wikipedia over Gramsci on the question of what Fascism is...


Yeah, no point straining yourself by reading an analysis by someone who was actually around at the time and locked up by the fascists for opposing them. After all, you have your part to play in maintaining the hegemony.

Yeah, but Gramsci is not an unbiased observer. He's going to have a very ideologically biased view of many things, fascism among them.
