John Weiss
John Weiss, a professor of history at Wayne State University, sought to give a definition of fascism in his book, The Fascist Tradition: Radical Right-Wing Extremism in Modern Europe. He arrived at a list of ideas that he believed to be shared by the majority of the people commonly referred to as fascists:
- Organicist conceptions of community;
- Philosophical idealism;
- Idealization of "manly" (usually peasant or village) virtues;
- A resentment of mass democracy;
- Elitist conceptions of political and social leadership;
- Racism (and usually, though not necessarily, anti-Semitism);
- Militarism;
- Imperialism.
