Fascism is a far-right^[1] form of government where most of the country's power is held by one ruler or a small group, under one party.^[2][3]

Fascist states are usually totalitarian one-party states,^[4] each of which is founded by preying on masses of angry, atomized and desperate individuals to make them unite behind a strong man who promises them a utopia and revenge on those who may have harmed them.^[5]

The power of such totalitarianism comes from mass mobilization via the mechanism as mentioned,^[4][5] while voluntary collaboration at every level of society by those agreeing with the same goal is necessary for maintaining the totalitarian state.^[4][5]
