Question

What is the most important thing in a true fascist state?

the people
the economy
the leader
the country
religion

Answer 1

Although fascism is a notoriously difficult ideology to define, many 20th-century fascist movements shared several characteristics. First, these movements sourced their political strength from populations experiencing economic woes, real or imagined. Fascists tended to capitalize on these economic anxieties by shifting the blame away from government or market forces. Jews, immigrants, leftists, and other groups became useful scapegoats. Redirecting popular anger toward these people would, in theory, rid a country of its ailments.
To unify a country, fascist movements propagated extreme nationalism that often went hand in hand with militarism and racial purity. The prosperity of a nation depended on a unified polity that put the group's welfare above the individual's. A strong, vigilant military was considered necessary to defend these group interests. And for some fascists “the group” was defined not by territorial boundaries but by racial identity

Answer 2

The Leader

Step-by-step explanation:

Hitler - Germany

Italy - Mussolini

They made every decision regarding the country, the people, the economy, religion etc. Without the leaders, mentioned above, their respective states would not have been fascist.

(It could be the country to, but that is more opinion based)
