Neo-fascism is a post–World War II ideology that includes significant elements of fascism. The term neo-fascist may apply to groups that express a specific admiration for Benito Mussolini and Italian Fascism or any other fascist leader/state. Neo-fascism usually includes palingenetic ultranationalism, populism, anti-immigration policies or, where relevant, nativism, anti-communism, and opposition to the parliamentary system and liberal democracy. Allegations that a group is neo-fascist may be hotly contested, especially if the term is used as a political epithet. Some post–World War II regimes have been described as neo-fascist due to their authoritarian nature, and sometimes due to their fascination with fascist ideology and rituals.

Argentina (1946–1955 and 1973–1974) - Juan Perón admired Mussolini^{[citation needed]} and established his own regime (while considered by some^[who?] to be neo-fascist) inspired by elements of corporatism, although it has been more often considered populism^{[citation needed]}. After he died, his wife and vice-president Isabel Perón was deposed by a military junta, after a short interregnum characterized by support for the neo-fascist Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (la Triple A) terrorist group^{[citation needed]}. Videla's junta, which participated in Operation Condor, supported various neo-fascist and right-wing terrorist movements; the SIDE supported Luis García Meza Tejada's Cocaine Coup in Bolivia and trained the Contras in Nicaragua.^{[citation needed]}
