Fascism

Just a thought, from The Great Transformation:

A country approaching the fascist phase showed symptoms among which the existence of a fascist movement proper was not necessarily one. At least as important signs were the spread of irrationalist philosophies, racialist aesthetics, anticapitalist demagogy, heterodox currency views, criticism of the party system, widespread disparagement of the "regime", or whatever was the name given to the existing democratic setup.
