`  == Fascism ==  The definition of fascism is out of keeping with existing norms in encyclopedias.  It is always defined as ``rightwing.``  It is also not a form of nationalism.  Even the two citations justifying defining it as ``nationalism`` do not say that.  They say it espouses nationalism.  Very different from essentially being nationalism (and nothing else).  All existing encyclopedias define it as ``rightwing political movement that was authoritarian, nationalist, xenophobic, etc.``  The idea of nationalism can be retained but the essence of fascism is something elsea rightwing political movement that used state terror to impose rightwing values on a community.    mryan1451`
