Who is in charge of a fascist government?

Answer 1

Generally speaking a fascist government is controlled by a fascist government. Often one leader is the head of fascist government in order for efficiency and to provide the public with a leader they identify with. Since the government control the news and entertainment industries, the government can create its own designated Propaganda unit and to make the media "seem" fair, additional news media outlets are taken over or created to present the false idea that the nation has many ways to get the "news". Dissent among these media outlets will either apologize for certain policies, support government policies, or even produce versions of the news that actually produce false news the may may seem to be independent. For example, lets travel back to Germany, the year is 1935. At that time, all parties with the exception of the Nationalist Socialist Party is the legal party in power and the only party. ( yes the Nazi's had a few names of their party, one seen often added "Workers" to the Party name. The so-called independent newspaper, could ( this is the writers example not a factual newspaper ) put forward the idea that persons up to the age of 50 are available for conscription. The official fascist newspaper might say that 40 years is better. Well, most people could be seen as supporting the fascist view and some supporting 50. What it amounts to is a false debate.

A fascist government is also a totalitarian one. There is no room for dissent on matters the government decides are the policies and laws of the nation the fascist government rules. The penalties for dissent can range from prison time, execution or exile. Court systems are based on the laws set by the fascist government.

The fascist government can also create full employment by simply informing various industries to hire and hire people until unemployment is a small fraction of the population.

The previous paragraph brings up the "means of production" question. It will be to the fascist government's interest to allow private ownership of various industries.
