Actually, Yorick, I don't like your definition. Webster's says: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. That one I agree with, without all of the slanted analysis.
Would you care to elaborate where and how the encyclopedic definition you posted substantially differs from the more lengthy description posted by Yorick? And in doing so justify your perplexing assessment that the latter constituted a "slanted analysis"?

Oh, and by the way, if you want to be taken serious by anybody who recognizes the historic and political relevance and gravity of the issue at hand, you should start to acknowledge that fact yourself, for instance by refraining from using indefinitely witty and impressively "fitting" emoticons.
