The word "fascist" refers to a person who supports or believes in fascism, which is a political system where one ruler or a small group holds most of the power under a single party, often totalitarian. Fascism emphasizes strong control by the government, extreme nationalism, and suppression of opposition. It typically rejects democracy, individual rights, and political pluralism, focusing on loyalty to the nation or group over individuals. In simple terms, a fascist is someone who supports a very strict and powerful government led by a dictator, where people have few rights and must follow the government's ideas without opposition.
