Fascism has had a negative reaction against socialism and democratic equalitarianism, its roots reaching back to the reaction of the ruling classes against the French Revolution. It plays upon national pride and prejudice and often exploits anti-Semitism, and sets itself up as a champion of law and order against the threat of mob rule.

Elitism is a belief or attitude that an elite, a selected group of persons whose personal abilities, specialized training or other attributes place them at the top of any field, are the people whose views on a matter are to be taken most seriously, or who are alone fit to govern. Thus, elitism sees an elite as occupying a special position of authority or privilege in a group, set apart from the majority of people who do not match up with their abilities or attributes.
