Fascism (German: Faschismus, also translated as stick-drinkingism in the early years of the Republic of China) is a nationalist political movement. Ruled Italy under Mussolini's regime from 1922 to 1943. A similar political movement encompassing Nazism spread throughout Europe during World War II. Fascism usually combines corporatism, syndicalism, authoritarianism, ultranationalism, statist forms of socialism, militarism, anti-anarchism, opposition to laissez-faire capitalism, anti-communism, and anti- Liberal political philosophy. Fascism can be seen as an extreme form of collectivism, opposed to individualism.

"Fascism" is an ancient term that originated in Rome. At that time, every consul in Rome had 12 bodyguards. The bodyguards carried a bunch of whipping sticks on their shoulders, with an ax stuck in the middle, symbolizing the power of the highest official in the country. This kind of whipping stick was called "Fascist". It is an instrument used to execute people. If someone commits a serious crime, the consul will loudly pronounce the sentence: "He will be sentenced to death with 'Fascist'." The guard immediately untied the cane bundle from his shoulders - "Fascist" and beat the criminal hard. , until he was beaten to pieces, then he pulled him to his knees on the ground, pulled out an ax from the "Fascist", and chopped off his head on the spot. This is where "fascism" comes from.
