Fascism

Fascism was a political ideology.

Fascists fought on the Nationalist side during the Spanish Civil War. (PROSE: History 101)

The British Union of Fascists, which governed the Republic of Great Britain on a parallel Earth, was a fascist organisation. (TV: Inferno)

In the 1930s, Cecelia Pollard was a member of the League of English Fascists. (AUDIO: A Blind Eye) Conversely, her father Lord Richard Pollard considered them to be "a rum lot". (AUDIO: The Fall of the House of Pollard)

In 1963, Mike Smith was secretly a member of a fascist group called the Association, which was led by George Ratcliffe. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

The Seventh Doctor's companion Ace was disheartened and frustrated when she contemplated the survival of fascism beyond the Second World War despite the defeat of the Nazis, even though she believed the war should have been the war to crush the ideology. She cited the murder of her friend Manisha Purkayastha at the hands of racists (TV: Ghost Light) as well as some of her own encounters with fascists and neo-Nazis (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis) as regrettable evidence of its survival.
