Ur-fascism can be viewed as a force of nature, a political system as fascism in its most basic form, or as a combination of both of these in the shape of a view of the world.
§ A force in nature: Ur-fascism can be seen as a force in nature, as an impulse, urge, or drive in living things, an instinctual proclivity or natural tendency to acquire, sustain, or perpetuate authority, hierarchy, and boundaries within and among groups in nature, tending to manifest as segregation from other groups, acquiring new resources, taking and occupying new niches, and engaging in conflicts over resources. If fascism as a system is a local well nourishing a given community, then ur-fascism would represent the underlying groundwater.
§ A system of government: If seen as a political system, it would include at least these facets:
a) The authoritarian impetus in political life, manifesting in a leader or group of leaders that are at once both members as well as a vital organ of their community.
b) The corporatist impetus to envelop society in an organicist framework with individuals that are conceived as cells and their relationships like tissues or organs. Integral and key relations aggregate to form societal organs comprising corporations, each representing a core interest as an important social, political, or economic output or arrangement.
c) The aestheticist construal of society as theater, an arena of art and pageantry.
§ A view of life and the world: As a worldview, a union of the above two concepts.
