Fascism: a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement that rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. It is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Reviewing the provided definitions of Fascism from above reveal an interested consideration – bias vs unbias.

When contemplating what type of society we live in, many uneducated minds tend to drift toward the idea that fascism is a far-right authoritarian idea. Basic logic dictates that fascism knows no party, but is an objective ideology. It could be considered an interesting discovery to notice that popular search engines and social media outlets frame fascism as a “left vs right” topic.

We certainly know from reading books that fascism has absolutely nothing to do with “right vs left” in an arbitrary political sense, and everything to do with totalitarian authoritative control over a population. As “For the Posterity” has no political stance or motives and operates without bias, let us break down what the Mirriam-Webster definition is:

“…populist…” – is considered to be a political stance that prioritizes “the common people” in opposition to a perceived elite or ruling class.

“…movement that exalts a nation…” – to raise in rank, character or status; elevate. To glorify, praise, or honor. To increase the effect or intensity of; heighten.

“…and often race above the individual…” – often being the operative word here – to maintain a populist ideology does not include race-based ideas.

“…that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader…” Autocracy is a form of government in which absolute power is held by one person, known as an autocrat. 

As the United States Corporation has the ability to pass executive orders under “emergency war time powers” and has been passing executive orders in increasing amounts, would this not qualify as “autocratic” under objective review? The first Executive Order was passed on April 15th, 1861 by Abraham Lincoln as a proclamation mobilizing troops during Civil War which included the suspension of habeas corpus – Article I, Section 9, Clause 2 of the constitution to present a prisoner and defend against unlawful imprisonment.

The next Executive Order was put into effect on February 5th 1917 by Woodrow Wilson for shipping control during World War I, which was presented as the first formal national emergency proclamation. This was due to poor political planning which resulting in the full reliance of foreign shipping freight to fuel the war efforts of the United States.

March 6th 1933, Franklin Roosevelt signed EO 6102 that made the possession of gold unlawful, demanding the People trade their physical gold for fiat currency or face imprisonment. This stemmed from central bank money printing and a synthetic bust caused by rehypothecation of depositor funds.

Every executive order in effect has enabled the government to encroach on the freedoms and decisions of the people who are being governed, slowly, certainly and repeatedly.

Executive orders, as unilateral directives issued by the executive branch, can infringe upon the freedoms of the population by circumventing legislative oversight and enabling the concentration of power in a single authority. This aligns with authoritarian or autocratic ideologies that prioritize centralized control over “democratic” processes. In such frameworks, these orders may impose restrictions on civil liberties—such as freedom of speech, assembly, or movement—without the deliberative checks of congressional debate or judicial review, potentially suppressing dissent, enforcing ideological conformity, or reallocating resources to favor regime loyalists. Historical examples illustrate how prolonged reliance on emergency-based executive orders can erode constitutional safeguards, fostering an environment where individual rights are subordinated to the perceived necessities of state security or leader-driven agendas, ultimately diminishing public autonomy and accountability.

Objectively, it could be perceived that we are already living under an autocratic dictatorial form of government, and have been since the founding of the nation – in a loose sense, of course.

To continue: “…that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and forcible suppression of opposition.”

Does this not currently exist? This government + central banking cartel we live under does censor opposition through “private corporation” loopholes. Free speech is silenced, those who do speak out are punished as “whistle blowers” – Edward Snowden is facing imprisonment if he was to return to America.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, was detained in His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh, a high-security prison in the UK, for a total of five years, from April 11, 2019, until his release on June 24, 2024. This duration amounts to 1,901 days, as reported by WikiLeaks. Prior to this, Assange spent seven years in self-imposed exile in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London (from June 19, 2012, to April 11, 2019), but this period is not considered imprisonment as he was not in state custody. Additionally, he was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison on May 1, 2019, for violating the UK Bail Act, which was served concurrently within his Belmarsh detention. Thus, his total time in actual prison custody was five years.

Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace, was imprisoned from his arrest on October 1, 2013, until his release on January 21, 2025, following a full and unconditional pardon by President Donald Trump. This period spans 4,129 days, or approximately 11 years and 3.5 months. Ulbricht was sentenced on May 29, 2015, to double life imprisonment plus 40 years without the possibility of parole, but his sentence was commuted after serving just over 11 years in a federal prison in Arizona. He was guilty of creating a website for free markets to flourish using decentralized sound money.

Things to consider:

By what terms would any one not be in support of the common People not being taken advantage of by an Aristocrat elitist few?

Is the contention of detractors that an elite class does not rule over the common people?

Do we not live under rule of law created by the whim of a central planner that benefits those who create them at the cost of those who live under them?

Upon objective consideration, it could appear to the educated observer that the United States Corporation in 2025 reflects stark similarities between that align with the dictionary definition of “fascism”

When referring to the sponsored “Google” definition, it can only be interpreted that “fascism” is a “far-right” ideology.

This might prompt someone wonder – what is really going on around here?
