Neo-fascism
Neo-fascism refers to the currents of fascist and reactionary thoughts which emerged after the defeat and collapse of the "classical" fascist movements of the early 20th century such as Italian Fascism and Nazism.
Unlike historical fascist movements, many modern fascist movements and figures do not identify themselves as fascist and claim to uphold bourgeois democracy, largely due to the large amount of infamy historic fascism has acquired as a result of its genocidal history.
