Fascism is anti-anarchist, anti-communist, anti-conservative, anti-democratic, anti-individualist, anti-liberal, anti-parliamentary, anti-bourgeois, and anti-proletarian.[11] It entails a distinctive type of anti-capitalism and is typically, with a few exceptions, anti-clerical.[12][13] Fascism rejects the concepts of egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism in favour of action, discipline, hierarchy, spirit, and will.[14] In economics, fascists oppose liberalism (as a bourgeois movement) and Marxism (as a proletarian movement) for being exclusive economic class-based movements.[15] Fascists present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes resolving economic class conflict to secure national solidarity.[16] They support a regulated, multi-class, integrated national economic system.[17] Fascist economics supports the existence of private property, the existence of a market economy, and the use of the profit motive.[18] 11 ^ Walter Laqueur.
