Introduction
The presence or absence of fascism in the United States has been a matter of long-dispute since at least the nineteen-forties.
In the classic sense, fascism is generally understood as a system belief unifying the state with xenophobic nationalism or racial superiority. In the years following the rise of fascist governments in such countries as Germany and Italy, two fateful events informed the ongoing debate concerning fascism in America.
George Orwell once remarked that "fascism" no longer seemed to mean much of anything, other than "objectionable," but academics continue to insist on a political science application of the term.
