Hi Stephen P. King
The word "must" implies forcible persuasion.
Hi,
But the use of force to persuade is not the essence of fascism.
Fascism is a governing system where the population can own property
privately but the use of said property is dictated by the State. Most
countries are fascistic.
Only because you've taken a single attribute of Fascism and taken it
to be a definition. Fascism is the idea that a nation is a kind of
super-being in which labor, industry, and government are *bound
together into one* (hence the name) and the life of citizens takes
meaning from how they serve their function as an element of The
State. This was further taken to imply that superior, i.e. Fascist,
nations should bring this superior culture to other inferior, i.e.
non-Fascist, nations by armed conquest.

merger of state and corporate power."

Thank you, Brent, for this. ;-) I was trying to highlight the
behavior of fascism in ways that do not invoke extraneous discussion.
All that you added, while true, is irrelevant to my definition as it is
representative of just one form of fascism, that of Mussolini's Italy.

Onward!
