Tropical fascism

Tropical fascism is a phrase sometimes used to describe post-colonial states which are either considered fascist or which are seen to have authoritarian tendencies, for example the regime of Gnassingbé Eyadéma, dictator of Togo and leader of the Rally of the Togolese People.[1] The term has been used to describe several historic regimes in Haiti, such as the presidency of Louis Borno[2] or the later government of François Duvalier.
