Adventurism vs Fascism - What's the difference?
adventurism | fascism |
The behaviour of an adventurer; risk-taking.
(politics) The taking of excessive risks by a government in their political, economic or foreign affairs.
*2002 , , The Great Nation , Penguin 2003, p. 133:
*:The rejection of foreign adventurism derived partly from an awareness of the dynastic vulnerability of the Bourbon line, partly from the country's economic as well as its military fragility – and partly too from the increasingly evident limitations of France's traditional international allies.
(historical) A political regime, having totalitarian aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and the centralized government, business-and-government control of the market place, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights. Originally only applied (usually capitalized) to (Benito Mussolini)'s Italy.
By vague analogy, any system of strong autocracy or oligarchy usually to the extent of bending and breaking the law, race-baiting and violence against largely unarmed populations.
