The word fascist is sometimes used to denigrate people, institutions, or groups that would not describe themselves as ideologically fascist, and that may not fall within the formal definition of the word. The Fascist party that developed in Italy in the 1920s rigidly enforced conservative values and behavior norms during the Mussolini regime. As a political epithet, fascist was subsequently used in an anti-authoritarian sense to emphasize the common ideology of governmental suppression of individual freedom. It has also been applied to a broad range of people and groups, including people of many religiousfaiths, particularly fundamentalist groups. The individual, institution, or group(s) called fascist often find the use of the term in this way to be highly offensive and inappropriate.

Are people still called notsies?
first answer:I believe not. That only happened in World War ll when Japan and The German took over the world. Germans in World War ll were then called notsies but not anymore. Hoped you understand now! xcorrect answer:Yes, there are some people that call themselves Nazi's. There are also some that behave like Nazi's but call themselves something else. Look-up the words: 'skinheads', 'neo-Nazi', 'Aryan Race' and 'Fascism'.Nazis were the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party that had common traits with the Fascism in Italy & Spain in the 1930-1940's. It is a form of Socialism less extreme than Communism. In Germany today, the Nazi Party is outlawed, so people that think like Nazis are called something else.
What was France's reaction to fascism in World War 2?
Not sure if the question is intended to mean "the French people" or "the French government." For the French people, reaction to fascism was very mixed: you had convinced French fascists and anti-fascists. But there was a lot more admiration for it than you'd maybe expect; a lot of French intellectuals even before the war had a certain admiration for Hitler's Germany; considered it dangerous, but were, i think, kind of jealous, and would have liked France to be more like that. As for the French Vichy government, it seems to me like a case of "if you can't lick 'em, join 'em." Fascism was an ideology chiefly of national pride, and national pride was at an all-time low after the defeat and was therefore felt as a deep need; Petain, who did, I think, have a kind of admiration for Hitler's Gemany, did not necessarily call himself fascist but preached an ideology very like it--and full of national pride. He also soon began to adopt fascist trappings: the fascist salute (the stiff arm to the sky, the well-known "Heil Hitler" salute), with which French schoolkids were supposed to salute the French flag each morning, and the fascist symbol, the bundle of sticks (fascii) tied together, which were incorporated into a crest or symbol of the Vichy gov't called the "francisque."

What way were the Nazis and fascist alike?
Both fascists and Nazis employed a private, but strictly controlled economy. They were both led by totalitarian dictators that could make up rules whenever they felt like it.

The fascism in Nazi Germany was built on the same principles, however, Nazi only describes the fascist system in Germany.
Which countries in Europe embraced this political doctrine of fascism?

What countries used fascism?
Italy only. Therefore the question should be re-phrased to 'country'. The term fascist in the anglo-saxon culture is wrongly (like the rest of history) interpreted and taught. Fascism was the political ideal of Italy's Mussolini in Italy during the period from 1922 to 1945 and still followed nowaday by young and old. Fascism stands for an ideal of life and country against capitalism and communism. *Fascism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Only in Italy was the controlling political party given this name, but by this definition, Nazi Germany and WW2-era Japan were even more Fascist than Italy.

Why do fascist countries choose fascist leaders?
Most countries get fooled into allowing people to become their leaders or the fascist leaders merely take over a nation. This happened in both Italy and Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. They had a socialist government in Germany. The NAZI party managed to get Hitler put into the government by getting him elected as the Chancellor (he was like a vice president). When the leader Germany, Hindenburg, died Hitler moved right into his position. The government slowly went to being a fascist dictatorship with totalitarianism and ridiculous oppression. In Italy the people like Benito Mussolini at the beginning. After he showed his true colors and allied with Hitler the people were very upset. They did manage to nab him, execute him and some other leaders. They were able to begin a new government. The allies helped them to drive out the Nazis.

Is fascism good?
It's tough to answer whether it's good or bad, as with all ideologies it has its bad sides and good sides (which is often neglected in this case due to it being associated with intolerance). Fascism is supposed to be a movement that combines the best of the capitalist system and the socialist one. It is authoritarian and nationalistic in nature, however while nationalistic it isn't racist in most cases, nazism is a unique form of fascism that blends the fascist system with biological racism. This is where most people get it wrong, fascism is monocultural, not necessarily monoracial. Fascism is good to get the economy running, much more efficient than democracies, however at the cost of personal freedom, since Fascism puts the state before the person, and only those who contribute to the state get the benefits. It recognizes the struggle between classes however unlike communism it does not try to destroy the classes, instead it seeks to find a common ground between the rich, middle and poor. It's run by a single party and it's leader who has almost absolute power, however he is limited due to the fact that he needs to rule in the interest of the entire party. I hope this cleared it up
