f*****m, political ideology and mass movement that dominated many parts of central, southern, and eastern Europe between 1919 and 1945 and that also had adherents in western Europe, the United States, South Africa, Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East. Europe’s first f*****t leader, Benito Mussolini, took the name of his party from the Latin word fasces, which referred to a bundle of elm or birch rods (usually containing an ax) used as a symbol of penal authority in ancient Rome. Although f*****t parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for e*******l democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation. At the end of World War II, the major European f*****t parties were broken up, and in some countries (such as Italy and West Germany) they were officially banned. Beginning in the late 1940s, however, many f*****t-oriented parties and movements were founded in Europe as well as in Latin America and South Africa. Although some European “neof*****t” groups attracted large followings, especially in Italy and France, none were as influential as the major f*****t parties of the interwar period.
