The familiar ring to fascism

Despite being rather old for scholarly pastimes, I prefer researching on the Internet to the horrors of modern TV.

And I occasionally surprise myself with what I find. Out of nothing more than interest, I looked at several definitions of “fascism” and found they shared a few ideas that seemed familiar to me. 
Merriam-Webster calls fascism a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralised autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
I think I recognise that.
