'''Fascism''' is a [[big government]], [[totalitarian]], economic, political, and [[statist]] [[ideology]] that arose in early twentieth century [[Europe]] and came to dominate the social and political systems of [[Italy]] under [[Benito Mussolini]].  Fascism is an alliance between [[monopoly]] capitalist enterprises and government. It is basically an economic issue, although the word gained somewhat of a twisted meaning during World War II related to racism and prejudice because of its acceptance in [[Nazi Germany]] by [[Adolf Hitler]].  It stands in contrast to communism, which is outright expropriation of private property and government management of large businesses.  In a fascist regime, large corporations retain their private ownership, their profits, the ability to select their own managers and staff, and even are protected from competition provided that the corporation bends to the government's wishes.  Fascism is [[statist]] in nature, relying on a public-private partnership, such as between [[Big Tech]] and the [[NSA]] for information control and surveillance.  While private businesses provide personal data and [[political profiling]] on citizens to government without a search warrant, the government grants [[crony capitalist]] protection to the businesses in the form of government contracts, and harassment of competitors through arbitrary regulations and denial of licenses.

In the [[Ruski Mir|Russian world]], fascism and nazism, much like the [[covid pandemic]] from China, is a disease of [[the West]] that has infected the planet, which Russia defeated and remains ever vigilant against.
