What is fascism? Corporatism. The merger of state and corporate power.
Fascist motto...Tutto nello Stato, niente al di fuori dello Stato, nulla contro lo Stato, "Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State."

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini.
Anti-individualistic, the Fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only in so far as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal, will of man as a historic entity. It is opposed to classical liberalism which arose as a reaction to absolutism and exhausted its historical function when the State became the expression of the conscience and will of the people. Liberalism denied the State in the name of the individual;

Anti-individualistic?
What is individualism?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Fascism (corporatism) then is collectivist.
What is collectivism?
Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group — whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called ``the common good.´´ Ayn Rand.

A person's moral worth is judged by how much he sacrifices himself to the group. [Under collectivism] the more emergencies (and victims) the better, because they provide more opportunity for "virtue." SOURCE
What do fascists believe?
Fascists believe that all actions should be done for the good of the state (rather than classical liberalism, which focuses on the good of the individual). This definition expands to economic policy as well, with government and business working together for this end - this is called "corporatism." Modern "public-private partnerships" have their roots in corporatism, though they are not necessarily oppressive.

What are some of the characteristics of fascism?
Characteristics of fascism include a belief that the state is more important than the individual; a leaning towards authoritarian government and centralized economic planning; an emphasis on nationalism and national traditions; militarism; information control and censorship; media propagation of the Great Leader which demonizes and trivializes his critics; and a rejection of both free enterprise and Social democracy in favor of corporatist economic policies.
Fascist regimes have often concentrated on a "scapegoat" to push their agendas, such as the Jewish people in World War II.
The fourteen characteristics of fascism also include rampant cronyism and corruption, as well as rigged elections and a general disdain for human rights.

That's all I got time for tonight. I'll compare all this side by side with the rhetoric and actions of the Bush neocon regime this weekend sometime. I might even dig up some choice quotes from some of the regime's loyal followers among the BB membership.
That should make for a fun and spirited discussion eh? Until then
Hail Victory!
