Fascism
From Reboil
Fascism is an authoritarian style of government that prioritizes ethnic nationalism and accepts political violence and ethnic cleansing as justified in achieving those ends.
The name is derived from a bundle of sticks and an axe known as the fasces, a traditional symbol of the Etruscan civilization and its successor, Ancient Rome.
