Description : Exhaustive exploration of Fascist theory and practice

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, characterized by
dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and control of
industry and commerce, which came to prominence in early 20th-century
Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War
I before it spread to other European countries.

- why is this package useful/relevant?

I believe this is the development trend most of the world is currently
aiming for, and that, like with other recent questionable development
practices, Debian should at least acknowledge its existance, but not
embrace it.

- is it a dependency for another package?

No. Historically, once fascism has been launched, there has been little
space for anything else.

- do you use it?

I do all I can to avoid it.

Should we be carrying such an old version in Debian? There are much more
modern versions available in 2018.

Though I do acknowledge the large number of forks since 1919, that makes
it difficult to select a representative version today.

...At least, coherent with Debian policy, different versions are not
co-installable (as are libraries in Npm, Pypy, Ruby Gems, PHP
Composer, etc.)

Even short description (*you* wiped) talks about complete theory.

A theory is always installable, moreover that's a documentation package of theory with non-compliant parts.

So, even sources would never be issueds from a complete theory of fascism, as it needs a totally incomplete view to be implemented.
