Fascism. What was it? There is no general consensus on that question, but here is my take.

I would hold that fascism is a political philosophy that puts a political and philosophical stamp on the idea that human inequality is not only natural, but ultimately beneficial to society.

The best and most concise outline (and even apology) for this sociopolitical outlook is IMO to be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tory_corporatism
While the article deals with a "system" quite different from fascism, the underlying philosophy is precisely that which made fascism an appealing political system to some people in the past.
