Fascism /fæʃɪzəm/ is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism[1][2] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
Influenced by national syndicalism, fascism originated in Italy during World War I, combining more typically right-wing positions with elements of left-wing politics, in opposition to liberalism, Marxism, and traditional conservatism. Although fascism is usually placed on the far right on the traditional left–right spectrum, several self-described fascists as well as some commentators have said that the description is inadequate.[3][4][5] Following World War II, few parties have openly described themselves as fascist, and the term is usually used pejoratively by political opponents. The terms neo-fascist or post-fascist are sometimes applied more formally to describe parties of the far right with ideological similarities to, or roots in, 20th century fascist movements.

Here's how one scenario might play out: Putin waits until we have all left Sochi with our ice dancing and bobsled medals in tow.
Only then do his eyes refocus on Ukraine where, he will say, the country's 8 million ethnic Russians are calling for protection from nationalist Ukrainian zealots. The ensuing Russian military invasion happens swiftly; it begins in Crimea, on the northern coast of the Black Sea. To imagine the Russian Federation using military force to stamp out Ukraine's "Euromaidan" — the mass protest movement that began in November, when Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych ditched a planned association agreement with the European Union — is still to engage with far-fetched fiction.

A new study suggests serious sports fans are likely to show strong support for the U.S. military — a finding that could help explain why some Americans react negatively to athletes kneeling during the national anthem.
