What was fachism?

Answer 1

Fascism was the unchecked rule of a class of the privileged, or relatively rich, in power. It was a full-scale assault on the poor and working classes. Parliamentary institutions were usually set aside, or so demeaned as to be meaningless. (The Holocaust was legal). Elites issued direct orders, frequently through a populist leader. Wages, any social safety net, working hour laws, labor laws, all came under legal attacks. The stick replaced the carrot.
