Stopped reading after the second sentence.

Fascism is a *ONE PARTY* government with a market economy. Full stop. The name delineates it from “Socialism” which is
a one-party state with the GOVERNMENT owning the means of production or a free market state with multiple parties.

The definition is by the man who is only a professional journalist who ever ascended to power. He also implemented it to include a nationalist and expansionary foreign policy.

By definition, no state with competing parties has a fascist government nor does any state without a market economy.

Some random author or professor does not get to rewrite original definitions so that a word can just mean “Something I don’t like”

China is fascist. Fascism revitalized Germany. Fascism can work quite well as far as economic development goes.

Unless the competing parties aren't really competing, but are just part of the same party. Communist Poland had three "parties" (thank you, Information Please Almanac), but they were all the same party in reality. It was Communist A, Communist B, or Communist C. Which oppressor would you rather have?

[TBP]

It’s a market economy in name only. In actuality, the government controls it every bit as much as they control it in any other socialist system.

Fascism can work quite well as far as economic development goes.

It can make the trains run on time and come up with a car for everyone.
