Answer:
Dictatorial radical ideologies.
Explanation:
The academic consensus among historians and political scientists says that fascism is a radical political ideology on the political spectrum of the conservative right. This does not mean to say that all practices of the conservative right are radicalized and, therefore, fascist. The same goes for the left, since not all politics on this political spectrum are radicalized, as happened in Cambodia, for example.
The easy adaptation of fascism to different political and social contexts and its ability to appropriate elements of other ideologies make this concept complex, but not impossible to explain. Fascism as a political and social movement has a populist rhetoric that attacks issues such as the corruption of the nation, the failure of moral values, raises scapegoats, etc.
In this context mentioned above, the populist rhetoric of fascists always takes advantage of moments of economic, social and political crisis. Fascist rhetoric offers easy solutions to complex problems. When it reaches power, fascism assumes an authoritarian, violent, hierarchical stance and with a focus on elites. Fascist populism advocates radical changes in the status quo (Latin expression to refer to the “current state of affairs”) when referring to the political system, but in class privileges the discourse privileges the maintenance of this status quo.
