  • the creation of an authoritarian state
  • a regulated, state-integrated economic sector
  • fascist symbolism
  • anti-liberalism
  • anti-communism
  • anti-conservatism.

As the common aim of all fascist movements he sees elimination of the autonomy, or in some cases the existence of, large-scale capitalism.
