Thanks for giving your definition of facism. What does this:
[.] mean?

After Googling the quote above, here is more of FDR's quote:

Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths
about the liberty of a democratic people. The first truth is
that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people
tolerate the growth of a private power to a point where it
becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That, in
its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an
individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private
power. (FDR: message to Congress proposing the monopoly
investigation, 1938)  From: http://whale.to/b/tyranny_q.html

Monopolies, huh... "an individual, by a group, or by any
other controlling private power" Ohhh.
