List of fascist movements by country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of political parties, organizations, and movements that are widely regarded as fascist. Although many figureheads of such movements reject the label of fascism, scholars and observers often identify fascist characteristics based on ideology, behavior, and historical context.[1] Because fascism is an ideological framework rather than a formally declared affiliation, its classification can be contested—particularly when leaders do not explicitly identify their movements as fascist.[2]

To accommodate length and improve readability, the complete list of fascist parties, organizations, and movements—including those that have not held power or served as governing bodies—has been divided into four sections:
