Fascism, Defined

Wiktionary defines the word fascism as follows:

A political regime, usually totalitarian...

...ideologically based on centralized government...

...government control of business...

...repression of criticism or opposition...

...a leader cult...

...and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights.

Too harsh? Too "right wing"? I just relayed the definition. Any conceptual linkages between the words and images are the responsibilities of the reader.
