Fascism is a radical, nationalist political ideology. Its purpose is to restore the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that looks for the mass mobilization of nation through physical education, indoctrination and family policy. 

Fascism followers want to purge forces, people, ideas and systems considered the cause of degeneration, and to produce the nation’s rebirth based on commitment to the nation’s rebirth the community, which is based on unity in which the people is relation because of their culture and blood. 

Fascism followers also believe that a nation need a strong leadership, collective identity and the will to commit violence and war in order to keep the nation strong. They forbid the opposition to the state. 

Fascism says that war and violence are actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality. It considers conflicts as the responsible of all human progress. It states that militarism provides a positive transformation in society, in providing spiritual renovation, education, and creating national comradeship through military service. 

Fascism was founded during World War I by Italian national syndicalists who combined left-wing and right-wing political views, but fascism gravitated to the right in the early 1920s. 

Fascism followers oppose liberalism and Marxism for being class-based movements. Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes resolving economic class conflict to secure national solidarity. They support a regulated, multi-class, integrated national economic system. Fascist economics supports the existence of private property, the existence of a state-directed market economy and the use of the profit motive.
