Which of the following is a characteristic of fascism but not of democracy? government control of the military the existence of several political parties freedom to criticize the government a lack of individual civil liberties



Answer :

a lack of individual civil liberties

Answer:    A lack of individual civil liberties

Explanation:  The characteristic of fascism is a totalitarian government with a cult of personality, where political opponents are often persecuted, and in reality there is only one political option, which is not the case with democracy where there are more political options i.e. parties.

The military as an integral part of the state apparatus is under the control of the government in any social system, it is just a question of how this army will be used, whether it is to preserve democratic values ​​or to usurp the territory and deny human rights that is characteristic of fascism.

Freedom of speech and freedom to criticize the government is one of the rights suppressed in fascism, unless the public outcome contributes to the idea of ​​fascism, while the same freedom of speech is one of the basic values ​​of democracy.

Individual civil liberties are another of the values ​​of democracy, whereas only those civil liberties that the state finds permissible in fascism are allowed, therefore, in essence, civil liberties in fascism do not exist.
