Barbarians & Fascists Page

A barbarian thrives on raping and pillaging, on despoilment of society and the environment, with the intention of making the world more of a mess than it is already in.
A barbarian is an uncivilized or uncultured person, from the Latin and Ancient Greek terms originally applied to any foreigner. In idiomatic or figurative usage, the term 'barbarian' may also be an individual who is brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive.

“Anyone can be a barbarian; it requires a terrible effort to remain a civilized man.”
— Leonard Sidney Woolf [1880-1969]

Barbarian topic at Wikipedia

Fascism is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Neo-fascism usually includes nationalism, anti-immigration policies, or - where relevant - nativism, anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy.

2003 article defining fascism by Laurence W. Britt at the Secular Humanism website

Illustration of the principle of 'fasces': the bundle of rods tied together with the war axe was carried by civic magistrates in Ancient Roman times, the rods used to mete out punishment unless the axe was needed to execute the criminal. The premise used by fascism is that the individual rods are easy to break (as are individual persons) but unified and with the threat of severe punishment from the state, the group then becomes mighty.
