Characteristics of Fascism by Dr. Lawrence Britt:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
6. Controlled Mass Media
7. Obsession with National Security
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
9. Corporate Power is Protected
10. Labor Power is Suppressed
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism,
as it is the merger of corporate and government power

Benito Mussolini 

Fascism in power is the open, terroristic dictatorship of the most reactionary, 
the most chauvinistic, the most imperialistic elements of finance capitalism. 

Georgi Dimitrov of Bulgaria 

The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, 
whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite. 

Thomas Jefferson 

Fascism, at any rate the German version, 
is a form of capitalism that borrows from Socialism 
just such features as will make it efficient for war purposes. 

George Orwell 

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, 
which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength 
and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

Thomas Jefferson 

Propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, 
that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it... 

Through clever and constant application of propaganda, 
people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way around, 
to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise

Adolf Hitler 

Education is dangerous 

Every educated person is a future enemy 

Hermann Goering

Fascism is capitalism in decay

Vladimir Lenin
