That description most directly fits "fascism."
Briefly: fascism is a far‑right authoritarian ideology and political system marked by a strong, centralized state; rigid social and economic control (often via a corporatist or state‑directed economy); suppression of dissent; a charismatic, dictatorial leader; intense nationalism and militarism; and pervasive propaganda. Historical examples include Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany.
Related terms: "totalitarianism" emphasizes total control over both public and private life; "authoritarianism" denotes strong central power with limited political pluralism but can allow more private autonomy than full fascism/totalitarian regimes.
