The term Fascist is used by many in the world at the beginning of the third millennium.
It might be of interest to find the original definition from the creator, of what exactly it is.

From "My Autobiography" written by Benito Mussolini.
Published by Charles Scribner's sons 1928.

Quote, from Mussolini:
“I created the Fasciti, a group of daring youths who believed that intervention could be forced. Do not doubt that their actions shook deeply our political framework, existing from the time of the independence of Italy up till 19 14. I was their leader.”

And another Quote:

“There are some who profess not to understand what Fascismo had as its intent, and some who believe that it grew without a gardener.
I was certain at the time that it was necessary to fix, without any possibility of equivocation, the essential brand of the new movement.
For this reason I made three planks for our platform.

The first was the following:

The meeting of the twenty-third of March sends its first greeting and reverent thought to the sons of Italy who died for the greatness of their country and for the freedom of the world, to the mutilated and to the invalids, to all those who fought, to the ex-prisoners who fulfilled their duty. It declares itself ready to uphold with all its energy the material and moral claims that will be put forward by the associations of those who fought.

The second declaration pledged the Fascisti of Combat to oppose themselves to the imperialism of any other countries damaging to Italy.

It accepted the supreme postulates of the League of Nations regarding Italy.
It affirmed the necessity to complete the stability of our fronts between the Alps and the Adriatic with the claim of annexation of Fiume and of Dalmatia.

The third declaration spoke of the elections that were announced for the near future. In this motion the Fasci di Combattimento pledged themselves to fight with all their means the candidates that were milk-and-water Italians, to whatever party they belonged.

Finally we talked of the organization, the organization that would be adapted to the new movement. I did not favor any bureaucratic cut-and-dried organization. It was thought wise that in every big town the correspondent of the Popolo d’Italia should be the organizer of a section of the Fasci di Combattimento, with the idea that each group should become a centre of Fascist ideas work and action.
The first expenses, amounting to a few thousand lire, were covered by the feeble resources of the Popolo d’Italia. A central committee was formed to guide the whole movement.”
