dictatorship
'die Diktatur' and 'der Faschismus' both describe political systems without free democratic control. A dictatorship is generally a form of rule in which one person or a small group has very great power. Fascism is more specific: it is a particular political ideology and form of rule, often involving dictatorship, strong nationalism, and the oppression of opponents and minorities. The words can be confused because many fascist systems are dictatorships. But not every dictatorship is fascist.
