A. Fascist

Explanation:

Fascism is an ideology, a political movement and a type of State1 of totalitarian and undemocratic character; created by the Italian leader Benito Mussolini, it spread in interwar Europe from 1918 to 1939.

Among the features of fascism is the exaltation of values such as the homeland or race to keep the masses permanently mobilized, which has often led to the oppression of minorities (Jews, gypsies, homosexuals ...) and strong militarism. In this sense the enemy is identified as an external entity, unlike the typical left-wing totalitarianisms in which the enemy is internal (bourgeoisie).
