To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the characteristics of fascism and compare it to the specific context of Germany.
Fascism is a far-right political ideology characterized by dictatorial power, centralized authority, and suppression of opposition. It emphasizes loyalty to the state, strong leadership, and control over society and the economy. While different fascist movements share certain characteristics, they can also differ in their priorities and emphasis on specific aspects.
In the case of Germany, the correct answer is a. racism, as fascism in Germany, under Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime, placed an extreme emphasis on racial purity and the superiority of the Aryan race. This ideology, known as Nazism, involved the systematic persecution and extermination of minority groups, particularly Jews but also Romani people, disabled individuals, and others deemed racially inferior.
This emphasis on racism stemmed from Hitler's belief in a hierarchical racial order, with the Aryan race on top, and the notion of Lebensraum (living space) doctrine, which sought to acquire more territory for German colonization at the expense of other nations.
While other fascist regimes in Europe did have elements of racism, Germany's commitment to racial superiority, its extensive implementation of policies targeting specific racial and ethnic groups, and the scale of the Holocaust make racism the distinguishing feature of fascism in Germany.
It is important to study historical contexts and specific ideologies of different fascist governments to understand how they manifested themselves in various countries.
