The 14 features of fascism:

The cult of tradition. The rejection of modernism. The cult of action for action’s sake. Disagreement is treason. Fear of difference. Appeal to social frustration. The obsession with a plot. The enemy is both strong and weak. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. Contempt for the weak. Everybody is educated to become a hero. Machismo and weaponry. Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”

Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”
