"I dont go with wikipedia definitions because anybody can add to them."

Your real problem is, you only know half as much as you think you know, and that leads you to make silly mistakes, which you are loathe to admit (btw, of course this condition is not in the least unusual ;-)).

Wikipedia is a good convenient source for BASIC information such as definitions of terms and common historical facts. Of course, it is not the FINAL authority but, better than nine times in ten, it is perfectly adequate in nailing down the BASICS.

In this particular example, you are clearly confused about the word "fascism." You fantasize it has something to do with free-trade or capitalism. Wikipedia can quickly set you straight on that, if you'll take the time to study it.

Of course, you are free to disagree with Wikipedia. But here's the deal: if you disagree, then you are OBLIGED to cite another MORE AUTHORITATIVE source to support your arguments.

Get it?
