Fascism

The news media today often refers to liberals as leaning toward communism and conservatives as leaning toward fascism. Here is the standard definition of Fascism and it does not appear to represent current conservative views. Fascism is a form of government which is a type of one-party dictatorship. Fascists are against democracy. They work for a totalitarian one-party state. This aim is to prepare the nation for armed conflict, and to respond to economic difficulties. ... It stands for a centralized government headed by a dictator. Conservatives are for small government although they do not always practice that. Conservatives do want the country to be prepared for war but they are not opposed to democracy and they certainly do not want centralized government control but they push more for states rights commonly called federalism.
