Meanings

1. (uncountable, usually) A right-wing political movement inspired by fascism, especially by that of Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the Empire of Japan.
   • Neofascism is unlike its 1930s predecessor, in that today a global elite of the absurdly wealthy and influential is steering an ideology that wants a shrinking government, falling taxes on high incomes, and authoritarian control over recalcitrants, nonconformists, collective bodies and "losers" in the market society, including the disabled and young unemployed. 2011 June 1, Guy Standing, “Who will be a voice for the emerging precariat?”, in The Guardian:
   • Six years after destruction of the Axis powers and their political philosophy, neo-fascism remains an inchoate and weak force in Europe. Nevertheless, such types of movements registered definite gains last spring, above all in Germany and Italy, the countries that produced this form of nationalist dictatorship. 1951 July 16, C. L. Sulzberger, “Neo-Fascism Gains Sharply, Showing Animosity for U.S.”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:
