Fascism is a political authoritarian ideology that aims to revitalize a nation by uniting people through arbitrary connections (such as ancestry or culture). Unification is attempted by removing foreign influences through eugenics and genocide.
Genetic research unavailable during the fascist regimes of Hitler and Mussolini has since shown that the scientific concept of genome variation is incongruent with the cultural concept of ethnicity or race. Genetically speaking, we are a single race.
Prevent repeating history by recognizing fascist manifestations:
