So what does it mean? George Orwell’s own attempt to answer this question in his 1944 landmark essay "What is Fascism?” lamented the transformation of fascism as a system of government and economics into little more than a swear word.

He met locals who had seen their villages die around them, and now lived in whatever post-apocalyptic societal structure survivors had been able to cobble together.
