Fascism promotes political violence and war, as forms of direct action that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.
Sounds like OWS

Like the black panthers,code pink most recently OWS.
Fascism claims to represent a synthesis of cohesive ideas previously divided between traditional political ideologies.[9] To achieve its goals, the fascist state purges forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.[1
The fascist party is a vanguard party designed to initiate a revolution from above and to organize the nation upon fascist principles.[11] The fascist party and state is led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the party, the government and other state institutions.
Fascists advocate a state-directed, regulated economy that is dedicated to the nation; the use and primacy of regulated private property and private enterprise contingent upon service to the nation, the use of state enterprise where private enterprise is failing or is inefficient, and autarky. It supports criminalization of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers because it deems these acts as prejudicial to the national community.[17]

Makes no sense, but then again you never do.

Stalin Seeks My Death

The following article, now published for the first time, was written by Trotsky two weeks after the May 24, 1940 attempt to assassinate him. As the article relates, Stalin’s GPU was able to bring powerful pressure on the Mexican police to steer Its investigation away from the GPU murder band which had attempted to kill Trotsky. Shortly after this article was written, however, the investigation was brought back on the right track. Our press at the time published all the details of how the police arrested David Serrano, David Alfaro Siquieiros and a score of other Stalinists; how some of them confessed their complicIty, and the guilt of the Stalinist murder machine was established.
For reasons best known to themselves, the Mexican authorities have not yet completed their case against the GPTJ band. According to Mexican law, the investigating judge is required to complete his investigation and hand down a verdict within a year’s time. Although Slqueiros admitted his participation in the attack upon Trotsky’s house, he and the GPU found judges who released him on the ground that he was not seeking to murder Trotsky! The others are still in prison. Similar delay is occurring in the case of “Frank Jacson,” the GPU assassin who succeeded In striking the death-blow on August 20, 1940.
Trotsky’s article gives us his own description of the May 24th attempt on his life and of the events of the next two weeks. Another article by Trotsky on the attempt was “The Comintern and the GPU” published in the November, 1940 Issue of FOURTH INTERNATIONAL.

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power. ~ Benito Mussolini
General Motors agrees...........
You do realize that definition from Il Duce wasn't referring to business corporations don't you?
Mussolini allowed huge amount of money to be spent on public works and toward the heavy industry and a growing “military industrial complex”. However, Mussolini who at the onset privatized a great number of state owned assets, later began reverting these policies and demanded strict centralized control over the country’s industries. Likewise, laws enacted by Congress in the past two decades have been substantially more valuable to big business.
The gradual erosion of antitrust legislation resulted in corporate mergers and consolidation. Ironically it took a Democratic President ─Bill Clinton─ to repeal federal antitrust laws that had been in place since the Great Depression. A similar cartelization process that made fascism possible in Italy was sealed in the US in 1988. Executive Order 12631–Working Group on Financial Markets (WGFM) ─also known as the Plunge Protection Team (PPT)─ decreed by President Reagan set a blueprint for the merger between the Security and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ─or their “designees”─ with the FED and the Secretary of the Treasury ─or their “designees”.
The decree allied corporate and political elites into a single controlling body with covert powers over key financial and futures markets. Irrevocably altering the healthy separation between Wall Street and Washington and making the coronation of US corporate kingdoms inevitable.

YOU didn't present any facts I did... Just because Hitler went against other socialists didn't make him any less socialist, just like just because Stalin ordered the death of Trosky (another communist in case you didn't know) didn't make Stalin any less communist... Socialists/communists have a long history of turning against each other, this fact doesn't make them any less socialist/communist...

Yes it is and THIS is why. It's not conservatism. It's not liberalism. Or any other "ism". It's those that care not about any ideology, only about power and money. It doesn't matter who is in the WH. Who's controlling Congress. Eisenhower warned us over 50 years ago and we didn't listen.

Nope, you presented your opinion. The opinion being shoved out by many right wing think tanks trying revise history. Hitler hated Marx and socialists (Go read Mein Kampf, he says so). Fascism was never defined as socialism. It was always defined as the authoritarian right wing. Them's the fact. They've been the fact for 50 years. You don't get to change them just cause you hate the lefties.
"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler
(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)
...
Hitler was intent on having a community of mutual interest that desired mutual success instead of one that was divided over the control of money or differing values.
THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST -
THAT IS THE SPIRIT OF THE PROGRAM. BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST - THAT IS THE KERNEL OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.

Fascism (play /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists seek rejuvenation of their nation based on commitment to an organic national community where its individuals are united together as one people in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood through a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through discipline, indoctrination, physical education, and eugenics.[3][4
Sounds like a certain group and the current potus, community organizer that believes in birth control and abortion which also controls mass media from schools and universities to hollywood and television
Fascism seeks to purify the nation of foreign influences that are deemed to be causing degeneration of the nation or of not fitting into the national culture.[5]
That sounds familiar foreign money going to the elections.
Fascism promotes political violence and war, as forms of direct action that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.
Sounds like OWS
Fascists commonly utilize paramilitary organizations for violence against opponents or to overthrow a political system.[
Like the black panthers,code pink most recently OWS.
Fascism opposes multiple ideologies: conservatism, liberalism, and two major forms of socialism—communism and social democracy.[8]
Liberalism in American today is the antithesis of the word
Fascism claims to represent a synthesis of cohesive ideas previously divided between traditional political ideologies.[9] To achieve its goals, the fascist state purges forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration.[1
You mean like Pelosi and schummers "the first amendment needs to be fixed" and the famous "Fox News" needs to be taken off the air.
The fascist party is a vanguard party designed to initiate a revolution from above and to organize the nation upon fascist principles.[11] The fascist party and state is led by a supreme leader who exercises a dictatorship over the party, the government and other state institutions.
The current potus has bypassed congress many times during the last 3 years with his appoints of czars to the care act. and dictating ceo pay.
Fascism rejects liberal democracy based upon majority rule and the parliamentary system but fascists deny that they are against democracy as a whole.[
Why yes they do all i have heard is how obstructionsit the house Gop is.
Fascism condemns liberal democracy for basing government legitimacy on quantity rather than quality, and for causing quarreling partisan politics.
The gop are "Flat earthers" etc anyone who questions the actions of the current government questioning just throwing billions upon billions just to hit something and hope it sticks.
Green corporate loans,the Gm volts etc.
Fascists claim that their ideology is a trans-class movement, advocating resolution to domestic class conflict within a nation to secure national solidarity.[15] It claims that its goal of social nationalization of society emancipates the nation's proletariat, and promotes the assimilation of all classes into proletarian national culture.[15] While fascism opposes domestic class conflict, fascism believes that bourgeois-proletarian conflict primarily exists in national conflict between proletarian nations versus bourgeois nations; fascism declares support for the victory of proletarian nations.[16]
Sounds familiar "the rich should pay their fair share"
Fascists advocate a state-directed, regulated economy that is dedicated to the nation; the use and primacy of regulated private property and private enterprise contingent upon service to the nation, the use of state enterprise where private enterprise is failing or is inefficient, and autarky. It supports criminalization of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers because it deems these acts as prejudicial to the national community.[17]
WE know who believes the governemnt should control the economy and corporations the difference here is they support the criminalization of anyone who makes a profit.
en.wikipedia.org...
So with reference to fascism while it is always associated to the right wing the simple fact is fascism :
Fascism is commonly described as "extreme right"[38][39] although some writers have found placing fascism on a conventional left-right political spectrum difficult.[40] There is a scholarly consensus that fascism was influenced by both left and right, conservative and anti-conservative, national and supranational, rational and anti-rational.[32] A number of historians have regarded fascism either as a revolutionary centrist doctrine, as a doctrine which mixes philosophies of the left and the right, or as both of those things.[33][34]
Revolutionary centrist doctrine sounds like hope and change,progessives and how they achieve their goals.
