Characteristics of Fascism - Part 1 (from the game Through the Darkest of Times)

Overview

This is a history video lesson about the general characteristics of fascism, based on the game Through the Darkest of Times (Paint Bucket Games, 2019). In the first part, I discussed 4 of the 7 characteristics that I consider the most important. These are: rejection of liberalism and socialism; the force of arms, ideology of war, and the charisma and personality of the leader. In the next episode of this game, the remaining characteristics will be discussed: single-party system and totalitarianism, nationalism and expansionism, and finally, the valorization of the group.
