In light of our current economic situation and the election of Barack Obama, I highly recommend reading "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg. This is a great historical look back at politics of the last hundred years and can give insight into the future.
In an interview, Goldberg states about his definition of fascism: "I’ve got a long definition in the book, but a short one would be an instinctual religious impulse - usually gussied-up as a secular or modern ideology - that seeks to impose uniformity in thought and action throughout the entire society. All oars in a fascistic society must pull together. The personal is political because everything goes together. Political correctness is one name we give to such efforts in civil society. "
