For the Fox News types out there I figured I'd perform a public service by providing definitions of these two words. Behold:
fascism
–noun
1.
(sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
socialism
noun
1.
a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
While we're at it, here a a few more definitions:
demagogue
–verb (used with object)
3.
to treat or manipulate (a political issue) in the manner of a demagogue; obscure or distort with emotionalism, prejudice, etc.
hysterical
–adjective
1.

2.

3.
irrational from fear, emotion, or an emotional shock.
4.

5.
