Dr. Lawrence Britt, a political scientist, wrote an article about fascism which appeared in Free Inquiry magazine, a journal of humanist thought. Dr. Britt studied the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile). He found the regimes all had 14 things in common, and he calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism. The article is titled "Fascism Anyone?," and appears in Free Inquiry’s Spring 2003 issue on page 20.

See how these points come to life in today's US political scene as documented by news story after news story showing each point in action.

As it turns out, Dr. Lawrence Britt is actually just ‘Lawrence Britt,’ a contributor to Free Inquiry, a magazine published by The Council for Secular Humanism. The article is freely available online.
But as far as Mr. Britt being a political scientist, there is no
reference to this in Free Inquiry. In fact, it says he is writing a
novel to be released in 2004. While Lawrence Britt may have come up
with these points, I’m hesitant to accept his analysis without the
confirmation of actual political scientists. If his 14 points were
published in a peer reviewed journal, I’d believe them. As they stand -
propaganda!
For all you gung-ho democrats out there that want to claim...

I would still say that's a pretty good list cniq_cniq, although I don't think the current administration meets these requirements fully.
