How does Latin American Populism compare with European Fascism?

Question

I'm curious as to how Latin American Populism compares to European Fascism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries?

Answer 1

Populism is a political philosophy that holds that the common person is oppressed by the "elite" in society, and that the instruments of the State need to be grasped from this self-serving elite and used for the benefit and advancement of the people as a whole.

 

Fascism (in Italian, fascismo), capitalized, was the authoritarian political movement which ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Fascism was typified by attempts to impose state control over all aspects of life.
